    Bound Bi Blood

    ***Trigger Warnings: Mentions of fowl language, homophobia/biphobia, use of a razor, and blood.*** Family...the final frontier! This was not an easy episode to put out. In it, Rob discusses some of the most formative moments in their relationship with their family over the years and their attempts at renewing and keeping those connections...ultimately leading them to choose what they will and will not accept from those in their life who would call themselves "family". Rob also chats about something incredibly poignant from one of their favorite podcasts, their mind being blown a bit by their partner's feelings of her connection to her gender identity, and geeks out over Heartstopper...as we all should.

    Step Bi Step - Being Out

    So much has happened since our last episode! In this one, we’re talking about the things that are pissing Rob off (including these ridiculous "Don't Say Gay" bills), the "definition" of bisexuality (as shared by the amazing Robyn Ochs), being out as bi, how you can do that, and what this might look like in the context of a committed relationship.

    Healing Bi Pandemic

    When the pandemic first hit, Rob (they/them) was able to spend some time practicing the art of introspective healing, leading to lots of thoughts and resulting actions. The choice to begin making healthier, more authentic choices was an easy one. Leading with queerness, though, can be a bit of a challenge. More to come on that.
