In this powerful follow-up to our debut episode, I sit down with my friend and ally Jessica to unpack the intense (and sometimes surprising) reactions I received after sharing my truth in Episode One. Together, we dive into the importance of LGBTQ+ allyship, how to handle negative feedback when speaking authentically, and the emotional toll and growth that comes with putting yourself out there.

We talk candidly about what it means to process public responses—both the supportive and the critical—and how I’m choosing to move forward with clarity, confidence, and community.

If you’ve ever struggled with vulnerability, questioned your voice, or wanted to show up better for your LGBTQ+ friends and chosen family, this episode is for you.

✨ Topics Covered:

• LGBTQ+ storytelling and identity
• Allyship in action
• Handling criticism and online backlash
• Growth through vulnerability
• Creating safe spaces for truth
