Owner, The Ritual Curl Co.
Ivana Coquetú and Nikki of The Ritual Curl Co. unpack what it means to be labeled 'too much' — exploring the myth of Lilith as a symbol of female autonomy, building safe spaces for Atlanta's neurodivergent and alt/queer community, and trusting your inner voice even when it feels unhinged. Plus astrology games and Softwave therapy.
April La Barrone
Ivana Joy sits down with April La Barrone — who married at 16 and later built Cabaret on the Bay from scratch — to dismantle the myth that life has a deadline. A conversation about reinvention after 40, rejecting approval-seeking, building burlesque community in Florida, and why your main act can start the moment you decide to step onto the stage.
Lex God Reloaded
A raw, vulnerable conversation between Ivana Joy and multi-talented performer Lex God Reloaded — covering motherhood, identity, and the courage to be witnessed rather than just applauded. They explore the Electro Lounge as a spiritual portal, glamour magic as protection, and why building your own community is the most radical act of self-love.
Eric Greenfingers
Ivana Coquetú and fire performer Eric Greenfingers challenge the monogamy default — exploring ethical non-monogamy, healing religious shame, and why relationships are living ecosystems rather than rigid titles. Plus the Fallacy Round: rapid-fire green flags, red flags, and the origin of a name borrowed from Siouxsie and the Banshees.
Ms. Monie Love
Ivana Joy and her eight-year friend Ms. Monie Love swap the rulebook for a sense of wonder — exploring angel numbers, dream interpretation, and why feeling stuck usually means you're in the wrong environment. A conversation about signs, synchronicity, the healing power of play, and trusting your gut before your brain catches up.
Nya the God
Ivana Coquetú and Nya the God take one of the oldest stories ever told and flip it — examining the Garden of Eden through a modern lens. Red flags vs. intuition, shame vs. desire, and why women are so often punished for curiosity and self-discovery. A deep-dive into the myths we inherit and the ones we rewrite.
Vanessa Safel
Ivana Coquetú sits down with Vanessa Safel to explore reinvention, self-discovery, and embracing identity after 40. They unpack astrology as a tool for self-understanding, ethical non-monogamy, and the courage it takes to thrive on a non-traditional path — plus a look inside Atlanta's Cougar Club, Electro Lounge, and Titty TKO.
Sativa Shakespeare
Ivana Joy and her friend Sativa Shakespeare unpack love, polyamory, and radical honesty — arguing that the opposite of cheating isn't monogamy, it's clarity. A deeply personal conversation about the 'good girl' trap, burlesque as transformation, and building relationships on your own terms.
Con
The very first Joyride After Dark — unscripted, unpolished, and unapologetically real. Ivana Coquetú sits down with performer Con to explore Atlanta's alt/queer creative scene, the art of 'silly-sexy' performance, and why technical chaos is just part of authentic storytelling. Plus: ADHD, astrology, and Softwave therapy.
