The Gay Podcast for Everyone
The Gay Podcast for Everyone is a welcoming space for my LGBTQ+ community, our family, and allies. In each episode, you'll hear stories about everything under the rainbow - from hiding our truth to sharing it, and ultimately, being the representation we wished we had when we needed it most.
You don't have to understand the journey to choose unconditional love, and unconditional love doesn't mean you don't have questions, concerns, or fears. It just means we have to help each other through that conversation.
Whether you're in the LGBTQ+ fam or you're an ally, welcome! This is The Gay Podcast for Everyone!

In her book, Our Deepest Roots: Navigating Past Trauma to Build Healthier Queer Relationships, Dr. Jen Towns (aka Your Queer Therapist) discusses the intersection of trauma and relationships in the queer community.
In this episode (season 2 finale), we chat about:
- how our experiences shape our sense of safety and affect how we handle situations (like holding our partners' hands in public).
- how our past experiences directly affect our interpersonal relationships
- how to acknowledge our trauma(s) and better communicate it to our partners
Jen is an awesome example for our community and provides an amazing resource with her book. Get a copy of Our Deepest Rootson Amazon.
