    Episode 3: Beyond Pain & Productivity: Thriving with a Chronic Illness

    When Felicia Morris was diagnosed with MS in her 40s, she made a decision without realizing it: her life would be smaller now. In this episode, Felicia shares what it took to see that story wasn't true. She took on her own recovery, rewrote her relationship to her body, and changed her life from the inside out. And along the way, she discovered something she hadn't expected. The woman she'd been looking for in every man she'd ever dated was standing right in front of her. At 53, she chose Marjorie. Now, at 65, she's planning the wedding she never let herself dream about. New episodes drop the first Friday of every month.

    Episode 2: Family Beyond Divorce (Jen Pieracci)

    When Jen Pieracci's partnership ended, she was faced with a choice: let her hurt feelings write the next chapter, or honor the commitment she had made to her family. She chose her word. In this episode, Jen shares what it looked like to stand in the face of heartbreak and have a say in her life: writing separation vows with her ex, staying close when it would have been easier to walk away, and building a vision of queer family she had never seen modeled anywhere. What started as the worst thing that had ever happened to her became proof that queer family can look like something entirely new. New episodes drop the first Friday of every month.
