Acting Straight & Dealing with internalized homophobia
Let's get real. As a queer person, sometimes just being yourself can be scary, nerve-wracking and even downright dangerous. This week Emily and Karbon uncover their internalized homophobia and speak on the times they have felt like they should "act straight" in order to protect themselves. Today we get down to the root cause of why we experience these behaviours in ourselves and why you might be doing it too. Enjoy the episode!

Finally Sharing my Experiences with Sexual Assault
TRIGGER WARNING - after feeling guilt, shame, invalidated and fear for years and years Emily felt called to share her experiences with sexual assault on this weeks episode. This was the absolute hardest episode we have ever filmed, edited and released. We hope that Emily bravely sharing her stories can help make others feel less alone and perhaps move the needle on the ongoing conversation about consent. If you need support or someone to speak to after this episode, our email and dm's are open. We love you and thank you for watching this heavy but important conversation.
