Pride Month: How Being Queer Changed My Life and Work

In honor of Pride Month, we're opening up about the raw, unfiltered reality of being a queer business owner in 2025. From navigating homophobia in both life and business to building Garden of, a sapphic community collective that’s grown faster than ever imagined, Eden shares what it really looks like to build a life and brand that’s radically aligned with who you are.

In this episode, we're talking privilege, politics, burnout, visibility, and the power of choosing courage over comfort. We unpack why silence is never neutral and how queerness has shaped Eden's journey as an entrepreneur.

If this conversation resonated with you, the best way to support is by following along, sharing the episode, or donating to Garden of. Every bit helps build something bigger.
