A must-listen show!

Anna is incredible. So smart and funny and insightful. I’ve learned so much from this show and am so grateful that it’s available in the world!

Sabu16 ,

First time I’ve listened to this podcast …five stars!

Warm, welcomimg, and news is informative…makes one think about getting involved, explore some ways to be there for younger, just coming out queer…I love the quiet jazzy music in the background as well. I was traditionally married 11 years before I figured it out and I’m 30+ years with my wife (legally married 11 years) and she is amazing, makes me a better human, and is always there for our children and grandchildren…she’s our rock. We’ll start listening to your show together! Strong work💪

Great podcast
