  • Embracing Bisexual Identity: Featuring Kaitlyn
    Feb 6 2025

    Message Joey!

    Imagine navigating the choppy waters of self-identity, where understanding your own sexuality feels like a puzzle with missing pieces. Kaitlyn, a treasured friend of mine and my partner's best friend, joins us to share her poignant journey of self-discovery as a bisexual woman. At just 18, she faced the daunting task of figuring out her attraction to both sexes and the societal norms that clouded her understanding of the future. Through Kaitlyn's heartfelt narrative, we unpack the challenges and triumphs of embracing one's true self, illustrating how curiosity and courage can transform confusion into clarity.

    From Instagram stalking *insert winky face* to lifelong love, their modern-day romance story unfolds next. Kaitlyn's fiancée, Celeste (or Cel, as she's lovingly called), and her found each other in the vast world of social media, and their connection quickly blossomed into something deeper. Their path to engagement was filled with moments of serendipity, from jet-lagged naps on first dates to the swift comfort of a shared home. They also touch on the stereotypes of modern dating and how breaking those molds brought them even closer together, revealing the beauty of finding love in unexpected places.

    But the journey of love doesn't come without its hurdles, particularly when it involves coming out to loved ones. Kaitlyn recounts the spontaneous decision to share my bisexual identity with her mom during a phone call, an anxiety-laden yet liberating experience. Kaitlyn also sheds light on the broader challenges bisexual individuals face, such as stereotypes and societal expectations. Together, we discuss the importance of authenticity and the support found in trusted friendships. This episode aims to support and inspire, encouraging listeners to embrace their unique journeys and to live truthfully, regardless of societal norms or preconceived labels.

  • Humour and Healing on the Path to Self-Discovery: Featuring The Chill Therapist
    Jan 22 2025

    Message Joey!

    What if the internal battles we fight daily are as insidious as external judgments? Join me, Joey, as I share my own unvarnished journey of coming out and the complex emotions that accompanied it on "I'm Not Gay, You Are." With Krisztina, the Chill Therapist, guiding our conversation, we address the fragmented path to self-acceptance, the spectrum of internalized homophobia, and the role humour plays as Joey's defense mechanism against fear and self-loathing. By giving a persona to his shame—"Helga"—we explore how labeling impacts identity and expression.

    Our conversation takes a deeper look into how shame influences public expressions of affection and the barriers this creates for many in the LGBTQ+ community. We explore the fear of both internalized self-criticism and external bias, leading to self-imposed limitations on genuine connection. Christina and I touch upon experiences from my past, including a painful incident where I was publicly humiliated with a homophobic slur, and how this moment fostered a long-lasting struggle with my self-esteem. These stories underline the ongoing battle with societal norms and the courage it takes to live authentically despite these pressures.

    We wrap up with a reflection on the therapeutic journey of understanding and embracing one's true identity beyond past traumas and societal expectations. Through candid storytelling, our conversation aims to be both reflective and healing, encouraging listeners to embark on their own paths of self-discovery. With humour, introspection, and support, the episode seeks to foster inclusivity and hope, inviting listeners to recognize and accept all parts of themselves as they navigate the complexities of identity.
