You Had Me At Cheese

Building on the last episode, Venus and Eclipse continue their raw conversation about Eclipse’s journey with chronic pain. 

This episode picks up as Eclipse moves to Neverland, and explores how things changed over the years. How the pain intensified, how unspoken pressures piled on, and how the weight of mental load and emotional labour brought everything to a halt. 

It is a raw look at what happens when your body keeps the score, and starts to shut down to make you listen.

In this deeply personal episode, Eclipse shares her journey through the early days of her chronic pain. 

Throughout the episode, Venus and Eclipse talk about how it began, Eclipse’s first experiences with unexplained symptoms, her interactions with medical professionals around it, and how chronic pain slowly took hold and became a new norm. 

Through this vulnerable conversation, we unpack the ongoing struggles, the possible roots of the pain, and the complex link between physical symptoms and emotional distress.

Are queer love stories always tragic? Do all queer people have a coming out moment? 

In this Hat Roulette episode, Venus and Eclipse pull clichés from a hat and share their thoughts on everything from labels and love, to struggles, activism, and whether being queer necessarily means being political. 

Nothing’s off the table!

Loneliness can feel like a trap, but how do you break free?

In this episode, Venus and Eclipse open up about their own moments of deep loveliness, the factors that fed into them, and the challenges they faced.

Most importantly, they share what helped them find their way back to connection.

Coming out is one thing, doing it at work is a whole other ballgame. 

In this episode, we dive into the unexpected chaos of Tinder colliding with colleagues, the challenges of being openly trans at work, and what it is really like to interview as a trans woman.

The journey to self-discovery isn’t always clear… until it is.

In this episode, we dive into what led Venus to transition, the telltale signs, and the pivotal egg-cracking moment that you simply cannot return from.

We also explore the struggles of isolation, the search for connection, and what it means to finally see yourself.

What is it really like to leave everything behind and start over?

In this episode, Venus and Eclipse share their personal experiences with immigration, before diving into a game of Hat Roulette.  

From culture shock to identity, belonging, and whether we would ever return to our countries of origin - no question is off-limits!

Is the tribe we are born into more important than the one we choose?

In this episode, we explore how our upbringing shaped us, what chosen tribe means in our lives, and the qualities we seek in the people that surround us.

Does our blood tribe get a seat at the table, simply by being related to us, or do they need to earn their place?
