Hi Girl on Girlies! This week, we’re diving into the psychology of desire with Danielle Harel, Ph.D., and Celeste Hirschman, M.A. - intimacy experts, authors, and co-founders of the Somatica® Institute.

Trying to control how others see us is exhausting - especially in tight-knit queer communities, where it can feel like everyone knows everyone. In this episode, I dive into what happens when we finally let go - of control, of expectations, and of the need to manage how people perceive us. From social media unfollows to the bigger lessons in releasing control, this is all about finding peace in letting things (and people) be.

Let's talk about the queen herself: MOTHER MONSTER. That's right - I am dedicating an entire episode to one of my favourite artists, Lady Gaga.

From her dance hits to Oscar-worthy ballads, Lady Gaga has cemented herself as a once-in-a-generation icon. But beyond the fame and the fashion, she’s also been a beacon for the queer community, a champion for survivors, and a trailblazer in pop culture. In this episode, I dive into Gaga’s legacy. Her impact on music, activism, and the LGBTQ+ community. Put your paws up little monsters, this one's for you.

Ever wondered how your personality type plays a role in your romantic relationships? In this episode, let's dive into the world of Enneagrams and explore the dynamics of all nine types. From understanding your partner’s motivations to navigating differences, I break down how each type interacts in love, with a special focus on how my partner and I connect through our top Enneagram types.

Before there was Pride, there was Stonewall. In this mini episode, we're diving into LGBTQ+ history and exploring the significance of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising. I discuss how this pivotal moment ignited the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement and highlight two key figures who were instrumental in the fight for equality: Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera

In light of recent harmful comments denying the existence of gender diversity, I want to take this moment to celebrate the truth: gender is expansive, beautiful, and diverse. Trans and non-binary people have always been here, contributing so much to history, culture, and our communities. Let’s continue to honour and uplift these truths and stand together against narratives that seek to erase them.

This is a mini episode paying tribute to LGBTQ+ icon and trailblazer, Marsha P. Johnson. To the queer community: I see you, I hear you, I love you, and I am you. Don't let anyone silence you.

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including sexual assault and talks of suicide, which may be distressing to some listeners. Please take care while listening.

Signs I was Gay: Featuring some heartwarming listener stories. Plus, I share a sweet story about my elementary school crush (let's call her Ash).

Happy New Year! How are we already in 2025?

This week, I’m sharing what I’m manifesting for the year ahead—from a friends cleanse to prioritizing mental health and planning more trips.
