In our final episode, “Identity,” Rickie brings everything full circle—accountability, authenticity, mentality, and policy—to ask a bigger question: Who are we, who have we become, and who do we want to be?

He reflects on relationships, therapy, politics, career, mistakes, growth, and the messy process of becoming ourselves. Most importantly, Rickie talks about moving beyond simply surviving toward a life filled with queer joy, purpose, community, and possibility.

Thank you for being on this journey. For a final time, let's SPILL. THE. TEA!

Rickie and Maria unpack all things public policy in this wide-ranging interview-style episode with topics including Rickie's State Senate campaign, socioeconomic policy, health policy, and so much more. Put on some comfy clothes, grab a snack, and get ready to spill the tea with us.

Dive in with us as we turn the attention inward and discuss our mental health journeys, the systems in place, and things that bring us joy. Featuring Special Guest Jaclyn Richards, M.S. Applied Behavior Analysis.

Rickie & Everest come together again for their first full episode to discuss authentic relationships -- romantic, platonic, familial, and even the workplace fam.

Featuring comments from listeners like you!

Let's start the journey of unpacking, together.
