Queer Perspective

Andrew and Nom are determined to make this a therapy podcast! Next up is Parents. Andrew has been going through a tough transition and in a moment of grief, he thought it was a great idea to record a podcast episode. Nom, of course, obliged. As always, follow and like on Instagram and TikTok, and rate on apple podcasts.

In loving memory of Abiel Martinez (09/1962 - 09/2021).
