Stirring The Plot

New year, new era, same unapologetic gay chaos. Today on Stirring the Plot Podcast, your host Dayna J. Francois sits down to spill the piping hot tea where she's been hiding (hint: somewhere between the trenches of finals, holiday chaos, and a few too many emotionally unavailable women), serving up her 2024 wrapped (the wins, the cringe, and the women she probably should’ve blocked sooner), and and unveiling her official list of what’s in and what’s out for 2025. But this isn’t just your average New Year’s check-in, it’s a full-on sapphic reset. Think of this episode as a soft launch: we’re setting intentions, stirring the plot, and seductively side-eyeing the year ahead. This is for anyone who’s ready to manifest queer joy, break a few hearts (even if they’re your own), reclaim main character energy, and set the tone for a year that’s as hot and unpredictable as a Hinge match who actually knows how to communicate. This episode may be short, so blink and you might miss it, but believe us when we tell you Dayna's got a lot to say. So grab your drink, dim the lights, and let’s dive into 2025 aka "the year of Stirring the Plot!"
