Are you a woman thinking about dating women? Maybe you’ve been swiping on both genders for a while, testing the waters, but haven’t been able to pull the trigger?

Making the leap to openly and actively engage in the Queer Dating World can feel super intimidating. I mean, coming out itself is a HUGE decision, and sometimes it can help to go out on dates first to confirm those curiosities radiating from your panties.

Girl, I’ve been there, and so have all three of my guests today. You’ll hear the raw, vulnerable stories of how they each navigated the transition out of straight dating and into living their most authentic love lives. By the end of this episode, you’ll feel less alone and inspired to honor your deepest desires. 

First, you’ll learn how Gen Z Kate went from ‘meh’ with her long-term boyfriend to blissfully enjoying women. Then witness how a millennial human, Kit, navigated their gender journey alongside embracing their sexual needs. And finally, be emotionally invested as Gen X’er Eliza shares how she found the courage to divorce her husband and start a new queer life as a solo mom, all while serendipitously intertwining with her future wife over a slow ten-year build.

While I love my journey and I have no real regrets, I often wonder how different my life would have looked if I came out earlier. My heart is truly and deeply honored to be able to bring these three beautiful souls together so that you don’t waste another moment stuck in a life that isn’t lighting you up on all levels.

“I have learned how to grieve the past without judgment, release it, and rewrite a new story filled with alignment, honesty, and strength. By sharing my own journey, I share my own truth of my humanness in order to see and show how it is actually my power, and I guide others — through intuitive readings, coaching, and Human Design — on their own paths as they learn about and value who they are at any stage of life and how they are designed to live. In my work and my life, I show up to show others it is okay to learn how to be themselves, by living messily and openly, and I walk and support by example, as this is where love, curiosity, and inclusivity thrive.”
