EP 27 KayLa Ruiz - Getting Naked, Getting Older & Giving Zero F*cks

Getting Naked, Getting Older & Giving Zero F*cks | with KayLa Ruiz

What if getting naked in your 40s wasn't terrifying… but actually kind of fucking liberating?

This week on (un)seen, we're stripping down. Literally.

We're joined by queer Puerto Rican photographer and intimate portrait artist KayLa Ruiz, who's redefining what it means to feel sexy, vulnerable, and unapologetically comfortable in your own skin.

And because we believe in doing the research, Erica actually got naked in front of KayLa's camera before recording this episode. For science, obviously.

We're talking body image, queer intimacy, the complicated relationship millennials have with aging, and why sometimes the sexiest thing you can do is stop giving a fuck about what everyone else thinks.

But wait. There's more.

KayLa also introduces us to her infamous Stranger Sessions—where two complete strangers meet for the first time during a steamy, intimate photo shoot. No swiping. No stalking their Instagram. Just chemistry, consent, and a camera. And yes, one couple actually got married.

We also get into KayLa's coming-out story, growing up Puerto Rican and Catholic, finding confidence as a masc-presenting lesbian, and why queer bodies deserve to be celebrated at every age.

Because getting older doesn't mean becoming invisible. And being seen shouldn't require being perfect.
