Customer Reviews
so relatable!!
i’m currently listening to this podcast and it’s so helpful to find people like me and i love the representation in different gender identities! it’s super validating to find people like me and i HIGHLY recommend whether you’re ace or not!
affirming, funny, amazing — THANK YOU COURTNEY LANG
Even after 3 or so years of discovering my asexuality, I still struggle with self doubt and anger with my identity. After listening to this podcast, I always feel 1000% better knowing I am not alone hearing from so many amazing people. I also learned a lot about aromanticism which I have always struggled to understand before the podcast. Now I find myself relating a lot to aromantic experiences. It also helps that Courtney Lang (the host) has a super soothing voice and contagious laugh. Thank you so much for making this podcast Courtney, listening to it has been truly life changing. I wish I could meet everyone from the podcast.
Lovely
The interviews here are really heartwarming and wonderful. I love seeing how people give love and caring to one another in different ways. I hope this pod reaches all the ace and aro people out there who need support and affirmation.
To fellow sexual/romantic people: you should listen to this too. By listening and reviewing you can help get this pod to a a wider audience. Getting educated can also help you understand relationships better and help you be open to different kinds of connection.
