For this week's episode, I am joined by a new guest: Mackenzie B!!!! She's a Virgo, a college student, an insta baddie, and she's happy to be here. Mackenzie is asexual and she's come on the show to share her experiences: coming out, embracing asexuality, being vocal on social media, and more. We also discuss the importance of setting boundaries and how to remove yourself from unproductive/hateful discourse. Since Mackenzie is new to the pod, of course I have to guess her rising and moon sign! 

For this week's episode, I have a new guest on the show: Megan! She's a baddie, a plant mom, a Gemini, and she's happy to be here. Megan and I reflect on the beginning of our friendship when we worked at the same coffee place together in undergrad. We both share things we've learned about ourselves this past year and the little things that have helped us on our mental health journeys. Megan also shares Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and how it can apply to self-care. Since I already know Megan's sun sign, I guess her rising and moon sign (because obvi we have to talk about astrology). Tune in for some new content with a new perspective!

It's 2022 so of course, I'm ringing in the new year with the one and only, Davita Jo.

Of course, I also guess Sam's zodiac sun, rising, and moon sign. Tune in for some women-empowering-women energy!

On this episode, I have *three* new guests joining me. Please welcome to the pod, the wonderful trio of Justin, Grace, and Cameron! The three of them are roommates, and we know each other through Mackenzie (my lovely roommate). We discuss how LGBTQIA+ people can create a sense of community and how gaydar can factor into this as well. We talk about bisexuality and the harmful assumptions people make about it. Also, we discuss the stigma surrounding marijuana usage. Additionally, we talk about how it can treat panic disorder, chronic pain, etc. Tune in for some chaotic gay energy (as per usual)!

For this week's episode, I discuss internalized homophobia: what it is, how it manifests, and how it affects LGBTQIA+ people. Internalized homophobia isn't always visible in the LGBTQIA+ community, so I wanted to make it visible in this episode. I share a recent experience that made me want to talk about this topic, and how I've combated internalized homophobia in myself over the years. In addition, I discuss the importance of calling people into the community and creating a safe space for people with internalized homophobia. Overall, the moral of this episode is to love yourself and accept all aspects of what makes you *you*—even if society doesn't accept you. 

On this episode, I am joined by the lovely, charismatic Iwona! She's a libra, she's a full-time working woman, she's outgoing, and she's happy to be here. We've known each other since middle school (can you believe) but we didn't start becoming good friends until this year! We discuss the wonderful nature of reconnecting with people later in life, and how so many people have blossomed post-high school. Iwona also shares her experience of being in a toxic relationship, and I share my experience as well. We discuss what we've learned from those types of relationships and how they teach you to look for red flags in the future. Since we're both single, we debate what makes a great date: great conversation or great experiences? The libra energy is strong in this episode so tune in!
