Nutty & Slutty Mon, 18 May 2026 08:05:14 -0400 https://nuttyslutty.buzzsprout.com en-us © 2026 Nutty & Slutty yes cff67baf-fdcb-58f1-b978-17d02e3c4c0a Living Life on the Fringe episodic true Isadora spent most of her adult life as a professional escort and even became the “number one” escort in the U.S.  Janine has bipolar disorder and has been hospitalized seven times.  In Nutty (Janine) & Slutty (Isadora), this unlikely duo talks about how they both learned to hide. Janine hid her mind from the world and Isadora hid her body and career.  Empowered by friendship, Isadora and Janine pull back the curtain on sex work, mental health and the secrets women carry.  Once pushed to the fringe of society, Nutty and Slutty are now taking charge — creating a safe place for authentic conversations that may encourage you to step out, speak up and share.

Janine reflects on growing up fearful of sex, feeling disconnected from her body, and carrying internalized beliefs about morality and womanhood into adulthood.  She opens up about how bipolar disorder affected her sense of self — not necessarily through promiscuity, but through delusions, distorted thinking, and dangerous vulnerability during manic and psychotic episodes. Together, the hosts unpack difficult subjects like shame, grooming, gaslighting and the silence many women carry around traumatic experiences.

The episode reaches an emotional peak as Janine recounts a psychotic break that blurred acting, identity, sexuality and survival into one terrifying experience on the streets of San Francisco.  With compassion and honesty, the conversation examines how mental illness can distort reality while also challenging the stigma and blame often placed on people living with bipolar disorder.  Raw, unsettling and deeply human, this episode is ultimately about being seen, understood and finding language for experiences that are too often hidden in silence.

(And Why We Didn’t Call It That) | Nutty & Slutty with Isadora O'Boto and Janine Noel | Stories on Sex Work and Mental Illness When Is It Actually Rape? (And Why We Didn’t Call It That) | Nutty & Slutty with Isadora O'Boto and Janine Noel | Stories on Sex Work and Mental Illness This episode of the Nutty & Slutty podcast takes a candid and emotionally complex look at non-consensual sex, asking a deceptively simple question: when do we get to call something rape?  Hosts Isadora and Janine unpack their own histories while reflecting on broader cultural narratives, challenging the idea that clarity always exists in moments of violation.  The conversation is grounded in lived experience, where labels like “assault” or “rape” are not always immediately claimed — even when they apply.

Throughout the episode, both hosts explore how internalized beliefs and generational context shaped their responses to early sexual experiences.  Isadora reflects on growing up in an era before movements like Me Too, where silence and normalization often replaced accountability.  Janine, in turn, examines how power dynamics, youth, and social expectations complicated her understanding of consent.  Together, they highlight how individuals can downplay or reframe harmful experiences in order to cope or maintain a sense of control.

The result is a thoughtful, unflinching conversation that invites listeners to examine their own assumptions about consent, victimhood, and the stories we tell ourselves in order to survive.

The conversation deepens as they unpack a provocative question: what defines sexual identity?  As the dialogue unfolds, the focus shifts to marriage and the surprising motivations behind why some men seek out escorts.  Isadora suggests that, contrary to common assumptions, many clients viewed these encounters as a way to preserve their relationships rather than sabotage them.  Whether it’s fulfilling unmet needs, avoiding judgment or simply breaking routine, the episode explores how secrecy, vulnerability and desire intersect in long-term partnerships.

The episode closes on a reflective and slightly humorous note, as Janine grapples with the emotional implications of what she’s learned.  From imagined scenarios of “good men” walking away at the last minute to the sobering realization that human behavior is rarely black-and-white, both hosts acknowledge the discomfort — and growth — that come with confronting these realities.  

It’s a nuanced conversation that invites listeners to question their own beliefs about fidelity, identity and what it really means to understand another person.

Isadora tells us that what should have been a lucrative event spirals into physical discomfort (safety pins, ill-fitting clothes, and a resurrected odor from a secondhand shirt) and mounting anxiety.  Still, she pushes through — until the final course.

In this episode of Nutty & Slutty, Janine opens up about an insomnia spiral set off by a psychiatric medication change that seemed to help at first, then turned frightening.  What begins as relief becomes brain fog, confusion, disorientation, medicated sleep and suicidal thoughts — a stark reminder of how dangerous making changes to a medication like lithium can be.

Janine and Isadora talk candidly about bipolar disorder, insomnia, psychiatric medication side effects, Ativan, sleep cocktails, crisis lines and the lonely fear of feeling like you’ve already used up your “passes” to ask for help.  Isadora talks about her life as a night owl and how she makes that lifestyle work best for her —with the help of "cocktails" over the years.  

So, how do you stay safe when your mind no longer feels trustworthy and what are the repercussions of being dangerously awake?  Janine and Isadora dig in!

Janine opens up about the deep exhaustion that can come with bipolar disorder — not just the hospitalizations or crises, but the cumulative weight of managing mental illness year after year.  She talks honestly about suicidal thoughts, emotional fatigue, and what it means to wonder whether the voice in your head (that wants to die) is really you or just the illness talking.

This conversation also explores the things that keep us here when life feels unbearable: faith, prayer, dogs, dancing, friendship and the dream of disappearing into a place where no one knows your pain.  For Janine, that place is Hawaii — especially Kauai — where the water, art, beauty and freedom feel like relief from psychosis, worry and mental strain.  For Isadora, her spiritual home will always be Greece–extending stay after say for peace, mental clarity and invigoration.

It’s a vulnerable conversation about bipolar fatigue, surviving dark nights, finding purpose through a beloved dog and chasing the “jelly in the donut” moments that still make life worth living.  There’s humor here too — ballet class, stretching, travel, reinvention — and a reminder that joy can exist right alongside suffering.

If you’ve ever lived with bipolar disorder, depression, suicidal ideation, spiritual conflict, or the quiet daily labor of staying alive, this episode will stay with you.

Isadora shares how she summoned Marilyn Monroe as pre-game inspiration, and how her Juilliard acting training informed every move — from sensual technique to emotional performance, and from chemistry to cash — of course, the one detail that turned something consensual and beautiful into something illegal.  Smart, sultry and a little outrageous, this episode is all about what happens behind the curtain.

Janine and Isadora Explore the Thin Line Between Imagination and Hallucination | Nutty & Slutty with Isadora O'Boto and Janine Noel | Stories on Sex Work and Mental Illness Ep 9: Psychic Gifts or Psychosis? Janine and Isadora Explore the Thin Line Between Imagination and Hallucination | Nutty & Slutty with Isadora O'Boto and Janine Noel | Stories on Sex Work and Mental Illness Can heightened sensitivity be a gift — or can it tip into something dangerous? 

In this episode, Janine and Isadora dive into the strange, fascinating and sometimes frightening space where heightened spiritual sensitivity, creativity and mental health collide.  What begins with a humorous confession about Janine avoiding antique shops quickly opens into a conversation about how both Isadora and Janine share a strong intuitive sense of the energetic world.

For Janine, a deep sense of energy and profound spiritual experiences once pulled her into a dangerous spiral.  Now she uses self-talk to keep herself grounded from psychotic flashbacks at the grocery store.

Isadora reflects on her experiences sensing unexplained energies since childhood, as well as on how creativity and storytelling can shape our interpretation of life’s most intense moments.

Together they explore the thin line between imagination, intuition, and psychosis — and how self-awareness, humor and reality checks help keep them balanced.

It’s a conversation that moves from Trader Joe’s to thrift stores, to energy healing, spiritual encounters and the creative mind, all with the raw honesty and wit listeners have come to expect from Nutty and Slutty.

These are Janine and Isadora’s “almost moments” — where Janine dreams of a chance to act Off-Broadway and Isadora almost lands a role on LA Law.

Janine, who has Crohn’s disease, writes and performs a monologue in Pieces (of) Ass about sexy women sharing their innermost thoughts. Her heavy illness monologue about the grim reality of living with a stigmatized disease is off-tone from the raunchy and lighthearted cast, but she does it for the inspiring audience connection after each show.  

Isadora’s network odyssey reshapes her craft, confidence and sense of self.  Following the path to a major TV role on LA Law, she endures callback after callback and discovers the riddle of “type” — eccentric, off-center, not conventionally castable. The part ultimately goes elsewhere, but the clarity sticks: better choices, sharper auditions, and a voice strong enough to carry through the No. 

This is how two missed big breaks shaped Isadora and Janine.

Janine was obsessed with Annie and had Broadway dreams.  Coming from families that didn’t know how actors became actors, both configured loose game plans as undergrads to get closer to careers.  When Isadora’s acceptance to Juilliard makes her mother worry about the financial toll, her insight allows her to press on. It wasn’t movie star dreams but a true love of the craft that anchored them both, for a while.

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.

]]> For Isadora and Janine, their first stage was their living room rug.  At age seven, Isadora was writing stories and dreaming of living inside them.  By age eight. Janine was obsessed with Annie and had Broadway dreams.  Coming from families that didn’t know how actors became actors, both configured loose game plans as undergrads to get closer to careers.  When Isadora’s acceptance to Juilliard makes her mother worry about the financial toll, her insight allows her to press on. It wasn’t movie star dreams but a true love of the craft that anchored them both, for a while.

Instead, she deteriorates into psychosis and feels compelled to perform for an invisible “master camera” in which she is the main character, continuously being watched.  With antidepressant medication starts and stops, and frightening therapy, Janine soon has suicidal ideation.  She calls the police, on herself.  This episode focuses on warning signs, support, and how a hospitalization and family silence planted the seed of stigma and shame.

Isadora dishes up the practical realities of sex work — client screening, logistics, safety planning, boundaries and emotional strain.  This episode challenges stereotypes about mental illness and sex work by replacing assumptions with specific, lived experiences.  For Isadora and Janine, friendship and trust give them the strength to reveal the secrets that took over their lives.
