I LOVE THIS EPISODE! This week I got to sit with Sara Mitchell (she/her) who is the one and only person from my old big girl job that I felt I could truly be myself with. She is effortlessly cool and badass and has been on my wishlist as a guest on the podcast for a long time — so dreams DO COME TRUE Y'ALL!

In this episode:

-We speak about the Queer ways to sit! It's a thing! Trade in your office chair for an armchair!

-Imposter syndrome strikes again! We are here, we are Queer, and we are trying our best to believe it!

-I maybe laughed the most in this episode more than any other. Cry tears are real and magical and healing and I am so grateful to share that with Sara!

-There is a heterosexual surprise in this episode! A new (to me) term and I love!

-Sara understands things through Venn Diagrams and I can hard relate!

-This is a story about a family time capsule coming out and it is really special!

-Sara reflects on the layers from her childhood and how suppressing her sexuality festered. I am so grateful for her sharing with us!

-A haircut and a tattoo from a Queer person are more beautiful than we could have ever imagined!

-Sara unpacks how she overcame gay panic!

-Bird attacks on Queer people = a thing!

-We need to start treating ourselves the way we would treat others on their Queer journey! With love!

-Sara has the best advice on having a boyfriend EVER! Please take note!

-Australia made me gay!

-Hubba hubba! Awooga! Boing!
