Janine tells Isadora about voting in the 2004 presidential election from a psych ward. When Janine learned that they were bringing ballots into the hospital, she began furiously making lists: the pros and cons of each candidate, Republican George Bush or Democrat John Kerry. The decision felt like the weight of the world on her shoulders.

Did psychosis turn Janine into a Republican? Maybe so. The pressure was on, and she believed that a vote for Bush might turn her into a Christian country music star. Would she resist that newfound path to stardom?

Then the episode goes somewhere darker.

Janine remembers running through the hospital hallway trying to send souls to heaven. From the outside, she may have looked like the sweet girl next door. Inside, she believed she was carrying heaven, hell and the souls she could not save.

She and Isadora talk about how psychosis can live in the body. Not just thoughts. Not just voices. Sensations. Fear. Aftershocks.

And for Janine, the body sensation after rape was persistent and confusing a secret she kept while she had to walk the dog, talk to mom, and always look as normal as possible.

Welcome to NUTTY & SLUTTY
Where Mental Health, Sexuality and Unfiltered Truth Take Center Stage

NUTTY & SLUTTY is a bold, sex-positive podcast exploring the messy, complicated and often hilarious intersections of mental health, sexuality and real life — without shame, filters or pretense.

Hosted by Janine Noel (living with bipolar disorder) and Isadora O’Boto (ex-escort), this show brings together two radically honest perspectives for conversations that are as raw as they are insightful. From navigating mood swings and medication to unpacking the realities of sex work and desire, nothing is off-limits.
