Welcome back to She’s Such a Lesbian, the podcast where we unpack queer identity, messy timelines, and the very gay art of surviving your twenties.

Today’s episode is personal.

We’re talking about:

What mental health looks like when you’re still a kid raising a kid

How teen motherhood collides with identity and autonomy

And what it’s like to come out when your life already feels like it’s under a microscope

I’m joined by K’Anne Meinel, a powerhouse author who never asked for approval—and never needed it. From spending two weeks but did not publish it until 8 years later which was her very first novel, SHIPS, to building her own publishing house, to creating awards that celebrate lesbian literature, K’Anne’s journey is a masterclass in patience, independence, and bold storytelling.

We get into what it really means to choose appetite over approval, why some stories refuse neat endings, and how humor, sarcasm, and double meanings can open readers up before hitting them right in the feelings. K’Anne shares how short stories shaped her longer works, why she started Shadoe Publishing to remove barriers for queer writers, and what inspired the creation of the Lesfic Bard Awards.

This episode is for writers, creatives, and anyone who’s ever wondered what might happen if they stopped following the rules and started trusting themselves instead.

So grab your coffee, tea, or wine, get comfortable, and press play.

From a Stud’s point of view, Dyse takes the solo mic and breaks down one of the most controversial relationship questions: can exes really stay friends—or is that a hard no?

Speaking as a happily married stud of 2 years married to her wife and co-host Katz), Dyse delivers a raw, funny, and sarcastic take on boundaries, emotional access, and the lies we tell ourselves in the name of “maturity.”

If you’ve ever heard “I’m not ready for a relationship” and replied with “that’s okay, I can wait” — this episode is about you.

In this episode of She’s Such a Lesbian, host Dyse breaks down the history and psychology behind New Year’s resolutions and explains why they rarely lead to lasting change. Instead of chasing unrealistic goals or reinventing ourselves every January, Dyse introduces a grounded 2026 approach: self‑affirmation through action. Listeners learn how identity‑based habits, small consistent steps, and compassionate self‑alignment create real, sustainable growth. This episode blends education, structure, and queer‑centered insight to help you step into the new year with clarity and intention.

In this powerful episode of She’s Such a Lesbian, host Dyse sits down with Caress Loftin for a raw and transformative conversation titled “From the Cellblock to Servanthood.”

Caress shares her lived experience navigating incarceration, identity, faith, and queerness—unpacking how survival shaped her and how purpose ultimately called her into a life of service. With honesty and reflection, she speaks on accountability, healing, and redefining freedom beyond confinement.

This episode is about resilience, redemption, and the complexity of becoming who you are meant to be—especially when the world only knows your past.

🎙️ Real stories. Real growth. Real truth.

Codependent, Toxic & Cheating — Why We Can’t Let Go explores the uncomfortable truth behind staying in relationships that hurt us. It dives into how emotional dependency, manipulation, and broken trust can become tangled with love, making it feel impossible to walk away—even when we know we should. Through honest reflection, the title examines fear of loneliness, attachment patterns, and the false hope that someone will change. It’s not about blaming, but about understanding why we cling to what’s familiar, even when it’s damaging, and how awareness can be the first step toward choosing ourselves.
