In this final episode of Panties & Pastries, I’m joined by burlesque artist and creative Dulce D’Jour for an intimate conversation on what we carry as artists—and what we’re learning to release.

We talk about the realities of the creative process, navigating unrealistic expectations, and the ongoing relationship between self-care and self-love. This episode gently explores how performers hold pressure, identity, and artistry, while still making space for softness and joy.

There’s also a touch of lightness woven in—new beginnings, a new puppy, and the small, grounding moments that remind us to slow down.

Panties & Pastries is a consent-forward, burlesque-centered podcast featuring thoughtful conversations with performers and creatives about identity, sensuality, and self-expression.

Until our next bite.

If you're just joining us, Part 1 of this conversation is available now.

In this episode of Panties and Pastries, we continue our conversation with Judas Saint James. In Part 2, we slow down and move into the softer spaces of artistry–daily ritual, trusting sensuality, the strength of vulnerability, and the quiet moments that allow performers to return to themselves after the spotlight fades.

Judas reflects on how practices like makeup, skincare, and intentional rest become acts of devotion. We talk about honoring ancestry with symbols and harnessing sacred energy to fuel stage performance.

This part of the conversation is about learning to soften after striving, embracing pleasure without apology, and the power of representation.

Pull up a chair, pour yourself something warm, and join us for the second course.

If this conversation resonated with you, consider following Panties and Pastries and sharing the show with someone who might enjoy it.

Until Our Next Bite!
