SO excited to be sharing this with y'all!!! 🌈 In today's episode we dive into my journey of coming out as a lesbian at 25 years old after dating men my entire life, navigating questioning your sexuality, feeling confident as a femme lesbian and not "looking gay," coming out to the grandparents and so many other lgbtq+ topics!
I'm so excited for this episode and to start sharing openly about these types of topics on the podcast. As someone who largely didn't realize her sexuality until my mid 20s, a big reason was that I didn't see myself represented in content - getting to share my journey with y'all now means the world to me!!
