About the Episode:
In this episode you'll hear conversations about the show, The Queen’s Gambit, along with some personal experiences from both our guest and our host. In this episode of Love Narratives, we discuss being underestimated as a woman in male-dominated environments, and overcoming fear and facing discomfort to find beauty and power in fighting. We also explore how certain movements and behaviors can unconsciously come off as flirtatious, and the experience of intentionally exploring sexual connections in certain scenarios while intentionally taking it out of other contexts and how different bonds can grow as a result. And finally, our guest shares how she paved her own path when she realized the examples she saw growing up weren't necessarily aligned for her and her life.
