Courtney is back (!!!) as we dive deep into the viral Crave show, Heated Rivalry; not just as a romance, but as a story about identity, emotional safety, vulnerability, and queer visibility. As therapists (and fans), we unpack what made this story hit so hard, what felt affirming or complicated, and how our reactions were shaped by our own experiences, including perspectives from queer community members across generations. 

Joined by Noa's mentor, Music Therapist Wade Richards, we talk about attachment styles, masculinity, secrecy, emotional growth, and the power of representation, while letting ourselves fully nerd out about the moments that wrecked us (in the best way). Whether you’re here for literary analysis, queer joy, or feelings-heavy chaos, this one’s for you.
