    In this episode, the Ex-Evangelical Queer Artist talks about coming of age in Colorado Springs and Florida with Evangelical Missionary parents.

    In this episode, I catch with the Friend Who Can't Let Go Of Love, and you know what? Thank God!

The Chip-Off-Her-Shoulder Bisexual Love-At-First-Sight Mother of Four's longtime partner, or as we call him, Captain America, answers the same set of questions . Through his lens we see how things aligned from his side, how they challenged each other, broke free of past expectations, and how the expectations of love, no matter what they saw growing up, surpassed what either of them ever imagined could be possible. W...

Insightful!

Super fun and insightful. Ever episode feels like peeping into a late night, 2-bottles-of-wine heart to heart with a close friend. Mom needs a spin-off podcast for sure.

So refreshing

This podcast is great. I love how varied each episode is. The moderator really gets different stories out of each person, and gives us a great view into the complexity of love and romantic relationships.
