In this powerful episode, Lauren sits down with Neno (she/they) for a candid conversation on dating, queerness, and connection in a world that often feels disconnected. 💬✨

From growing up in a conservative home with zero sex ed to coming out and claiming their queerness, Neno shares what it means to rewrite your own narrative.

Together, they unpack why inclusive sex education *matters*, how to resist censorship with compassion, and what it takes to build real human connection—especially when the world tells you not to.

What we cover:

💥 The loneliness of dating in a disconnected world

🧠 The gaps in sex ed & the impact on queer youth

🏳️‍🌈 Neno’s journey to self-love & queer identity

📚 Why LGBTQ+ representation in education is non-negotiable

✊ How we can fight back against erasure & censorship

Tune in and let’s get real about love, learning, and living out loud.
