This week on Itās Ben A Week, itās my birthday⦠and Iām officially coming out ā right here on the podcast. Surprise! Iām gay. š (Okay, not that shocking)
Iām turning 33, and this episode is a full reflection on self-love, Pride Month, and the journey of getting comfortable in your own skin. I talk about growing up closeted, internalized shame, high school bullies, my terrifying coming-out moment with my mom on the freeway, and how I finally got to a place where I can proudly say: I love who I am.
Then AJ joins me to recap my wild birthday pool party ā including:
This episode is funny, unfiltered, and fully queer joy
ā
PS: If youāve never had Fireball pour down your back and fry into your skin in 95-degree heat⦠donāt.
