What does it look like to choose joy—not because the world is easy, but because your joy is still yours to choose?

Bruno Baewatch joins Lavish The Jewel at the table for a warm, wonderfully honest conversation about his Trans journey, finding himself along the way, and choosing joy over anger in a world that can give you plenty of reasons for both. 🏳️‍⚧️

Sit down with us as we discuss the importance of showing up authentically, remembering where you've come from, and keeping the fun in art—even when the world around you seems determined to make everything feel heavy.

What happens when you give yourself permission to be awkward, messy, silly, sexy, and completely human? Pull up a seat and find out!

Miss Texas 1988 joins Lavish The Jewel at the café table for a conversation about drag, creative freedom, costumes, vulnerability, and the beautifully imperfect moments that make performance feel alive.

Texas shares why being willing to look ridiculous, awkward, or even a little gross onstage can create something unexpectedly powerful: permission for the person watching to loosen their grip a little too.

There’s plenty of laughter, creative chaos, and proof that glamour and foolishness can absolutely share the same stage. 🥐☕️

Things are getting a little caliente at the café table. 🔥☕🥐

This week on Panties & Pastries, I'm joined by burlesque performer Carmen Caliente for a candid conversation about artistry, motherhood, confidence, community, and learning to take up space exactly as you are.

Carmen shares how an unexpected interaction with an audience member changed the way she thought about performing in her “mom body”—and gave her an even bigger reason to keep showing up proudly for the moms who've been told their bodies don't belong in spaces like burlesque.

There are laughs, honest moments, a little defiance, and a reminder that sometimes being unapologetically yourself can mean more to the person watching than you'll ever know.

Grab your coffee, find something delicious, and join us at the café table.
