Turning Pain into Power: MOTHERMARY

No, this isn’t about Anne Hathaway - we’re going straight to the source! When twins Elyse & Danielle escaped their Mormon religious upbringing, they turned to music as a way of deconstructing their faith, flipping it on its head, and finding their power - while dressed in latex! MOTHERMARY started in 2016 and delivers retro-futuristic electro pop while begging listeners to question what they worship and why. Named after the mother of Christ, the ultimate symbol of religious hypocrisy and the impossible expectations placed on women, Danielle and Elyse have made quite a name for themselves in the music industry. From Versace to Italians Do It Better, global tours and secret basement concerts, MOTHERMARY is the living embodiment of religious trauma turned rebirth.

Sappho: The 10th Muse (And OG Sapphic Icon)

When you hear the name Sappho, you probably think you already know the story. Ancient Greek. Lesbian poet. The end. But what if that’s just the headline version? In this episode of Sapphic Side Quest, we’re going beyond the textbook summary and into the woman behind the myth — the icon, the exile, the innovator, the cultural force who shaped poetry forever and then somehow became a footnote. We’re talking about what history remembers, what it erases, and why some voices survive only in fragments. And more importantly, what it means that hers did.

That’s the Good Stuff

In this first episode, I’m sharing my own journey — growing up queer, finding my identity, and realizing how often lesbian creators are overlooked, underestimated, or erased. I talk about why I started this podcast, what “side quest” really means, and how we’re flipping that narrative. This show is about art, activism, community, and the beautiful, messy magic of loving women. It’s about building something bigger than algorithms and louder than silence. We’re not a subplot. We’re the whole damn story. Follow Me on all the Socials & YouTube → @lesbiansidequest
