In this episode, I dive into the messy, confusing, and sometimes hilarious reality of figuring out what it even means to be queer when you come out later in life. From questioning if there’s a “right” way to be gay to navigating queer spaces like a deer in rainbow headlights, I share my own journey of feeling like an imposter in my own community.
If you’ve ever wondered, Do I fit in? Am I doing this right?, you’re not alone. Spoiler: There’s no queer checklist, no standardized test, and no one’s handing out “official gay” badges. You belong simply because you are.
Join me for this deep-dive into identity, self-acceptance, and burning the script on what queer is “supposed” to look like. Whether you came out last week or last decade, this episode is for you.
