We’ll Get Better
Please welcome our guest Sophia on this special episode. She has carried a weight since she was a kid, and she’s finally putting it down. She came out at 16 after growing up in a traditional household where nobody was like her, and years of pretending, hiding, and censoring herself wrecked her mental health. This episode is real and honest and covers things that do not get talked about enough, including what internalized homophobia actually means, biphobia inside the LGBTQ+ community, how to be a real ally, and what it feels like when someone you love makes your coming out about themselves. Lead with love. This one is for everyone.
