Janelle Monáe: We Should Thank Our Exes (FBF)

Janelle Monáe joins Call Her Daddy to discuss her personal
evolution and the work required to reach her own age of pleasure.
Addressing past rejection and trauma from her father's
instability, she opens up about how these struggles impacted her
personal relationships and how she found herself closed off to
love. Janelle and Alex reflect on lessons learned from failed
relationships and share why we should actually be going back and
thanking our exes. Janelle speaks about her experience being in
polyamorous relationships and her choice to openly talk about her
sexuality despite coming from a religious family. Janelle and
Alex discuss what it means if a partner refuses to post you on
social media and debate whether this is actually a red flag.
Janelle speaks about the inspiration for her new album, The Age
of Pleasure, and what this phase of life means to her. For the
