    29. Two Gay Grandpas Travel (Grandpa Scott and Grandpa Bobby) are life (and travel) goals!

    Grandpa Scott and Grandpa Bobby (Two Gay Grandpas Travel) did not set out to be YouTube sensations. But in December of 2023, thanks to a shout-out from a social media influencer, Scott and Bobby's YouTube travel channel took off!
    Their YouTube channel (Two Gay Grandpas Travel) now has 98,000 subscribers (and counting) and chronicles their many travel adventures. From hiking to cruises, the grandpas share personal, heartfelt videos in hopes of sharing their love for travel.

    Now, people from all over the world affectionately call them "Grandpas."

    Together 45 years, with two kids and six grandchildren, Grandpa Scott and Grandpa Bobby have given thousands of people gay role models to look up to and have shown everyone that age is just a number. As Grandpa Scott says, if your health allows, "get out there and travel!"

    From their coming out story to filling us in on their next adventure, listen in as Scott and Bobby discuss their newfound role as everyone's honorary (gay) grandpas.

    28. Charly Stoever (aka Traveler Charly) of Millionaire Unicorn podcast talks about top surgery, chosen family and personal and financial independence.

    Charly Stoever (he/they,  aka Traveler Charly, ) is a non-binary  latinx money coach, speaker, and host of the Unicorn Millionaire Podcast.

    On a recent post on their Instagram, Charly wrote about everything they wish they had known before getting top surgery and aligning with their true self. The post was honest and inspirational, and I asked them to join me for an episode to talk about it.

    From going to the hospital alone and not having the support of their family to carving out personal and financial independence, Charly shares some of the lessons they've learned along the way.

    27. Why a supportive family makes all the difference, with Surviving podcast host, David Keck

    27. Why a supportive family makes all the difference, with Surviving podcast host, David Keck

    David's family told him these words: we cannot fully love you if we  don't know all of you.

    Talk about unconditional love.

    Today's guest, David Keck (host of Surviving podcast), quite literally came out with the help of his family. Just as he was grappling with his religion and his sexuality, yet going through the motions of life (girlfriends, breakups, etc), his family sat him down and talked to him about the importance of accepting himself rather than trying to be someone he wasn't.

    David also experienced a life-altering moment when he was the victim of a hate crime.

    Significant moments, to say the least.

    In this episode, we talk about how his relationship with God has been challenged over the years and how, from day one, his family helped him love and accept himself.

    David reminds us of the importance of a strong foundation of family and friends or friends who are family.

    26. Solo episode: Awkward Conversations. Stronger Connections.

    26. Solo episode: Awkward Conversations. Stronger Connections.

    Welcome back to a new season of the podcast!

    Awkward Conversations. Stronger Connections. That's the vibe for this episode and this podcast season because, sometimes, good things come from uncomfortable conversations!

    When I came out to my family, it wasn't an easy conversation. But it definitely built a stronger connection. And, over time, it allowed us to recognize the similarities in relationships, in general. 

    As I get older, though, I've discovered that there are more uncomfortable topics to come out about (like MARRIAGE). Why am I uncomfortable with this topic? Why does the thought of proposing feel so awkward? Will my parents be as happy for me as they were for my (straight) sibling? Am I just freaking out for nothing?

    This episode is a solo episode where I dive into the awkward topics, hoping to build a stronger connection!

The gay podcast for all of us!

Angie is a great interviewer and is able to get her guests to participate in meaningful conversations. For those of us who love the queer folks in our lives, and for queer folks themselves, this podcast is an opportunity to talk about the joy of having a gay child, about the beauty of queer romance, about hopes and pain, dreams and love.

Thanks to Angie for giving space to LGBTQ+ folks and their families. The more we listen to the LGBTQ+ community, the better we we can celebrate their existence.
