This week, Cherry Dana and Chloe Pillans sit with motivational speaker and athlete James Hackney to dismantle stereotypes about Cerebral Palsy and intimacy. James shares his childhood accident, rehabilitation journey, and how confidence, communication and safety planning shape his relationships. We cover ableism, accessibility, emotional regulation, consent, and why respectful, trauma-informed care matters in adult decision-making.

Topics:

Growing up with CP after a childhood car accident Daily logistics: mobility, independence, home support From ego to empathy: the athlete era and mindset reset Safety, consent and clear communication in intimate settings Accessibility gaps (venues, equipment, support) Confidence, companionship and reducing stigma Anti-bullying advocacy: the “Walk of Determination” (QLD, 2016) Follow our clips: @theadultscorner

🎙️ Episode 1 – Cherry Dana: Life Before Fame, Surgery & Success

Welcome to the very first episode of The Adults Corner Podcast with Cherry Dana and Chloe Pillans.

In this episode, Cherry opens up about her world before the spotlight—before plastic surgery, before internet fame, and before building her empire. It’s raw, it’s unfiltered, and it’s the start of everything.

What we cover:

• Why Cherry swore: “Nothing goes in my butt!”
• The night she was attacked in her hometown.
• Her life before plastic surgery and what really pushed her to take that step.
• Wild stories from her time living in Mexico—including friendships with ex-cons.

This is Cherry at her most unguarded—real stories, real lessons, and the kind of honesty you won’t hear anywhere else.

Chloe owns her past as a teen cyberbully, Cherry breaks down how bot farms throttle NSFW educators, and together you map consent—with traffic-light safewords—and gentle, beginner anal-hygiene basics. This week, we name what most creators won’t: coordinated reporting, bot-farm fakery, and the mental load of being visible online. Chloe shares why she used to bully (and how she made amends), Cherry dissects the pattern of mass-reporting targeting sex educators, and we end with consent tools you can actually use—traffic-light safewords and non-verbal signals—plus a calm, beginner guide to anal hygiene for light play. Mentions: “Hiprex” (urinary antiseptic; talk to your GP first). Content notes: Cyberbullying, Partner boundaries, Drug mentions, Sexual health education. This podcast is educational and adult-only. Nothing here is medical advice. For health decisions, talk to a qualified clinician. We do not condone harassment or doxxing and we don’t name private individuals.
