Why do we keep trying with people who refuse to meet us halfway? In this episode of Soph, Say It With Your Chest, I dive into the emotional tug-of-war of holding on to a parent who constantly leaves me feeling unseen and unheard.

I unpack the guilt, the hope, the repeated disappointments, and the hard truth that love without accountability isn’t really love at all. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop forcing peace where there’s only chaos.

If you’ve ever asked yourself “why do I keep trying with them?” — this episode is for you.

The only girl, the youngest — Soph opens up about sibling roles, expectations, and the quiet pressure of being the ‘emotionally responsible’ one when you never asked for that job.

Texting your ex again? Nah. Soph breaks down how that craving for connection is really your inner teen crying for safety, validation, and healing.

Queer Step Parent Syndrome is the raw, unfiltered podcast unpacking what it really means to be a step-parent in queer relationships. Hosted by a masc-presenting Black lesbian navigating love, parenting, boundaries, and identity all at once, this series explores the invisible labor, awkward dynamics, and emotional weight that come with stepping into a role no one fully prepares you for—especially in queer families. Whether you’re co-parenting with an ex, setting boundaries with bio parents, or just trying not to lose yourself in the shuffle, this is the space where your complicated truths get to breathe. Honest. Hilarious. Healing.

A sensual, soft, and intimate episode where Soph gets real about desire, safety, and the tender moments between lovers.

Being masc-presenting doesn’t mean being emotionless. Soph exposes the silent pressure of being the strong one and the toll it takes on mental health, relationships, and self-worth.

An emotional reflection on what it means to grieve someone still alive — and how the absence of emotional support from a mother figure leaves a permanent bruise.
