What’s the secret to lasting friendships? How does queer community show up through the ebbs and flows of life? And what’s the REAL story behind the “YMCA” song? In the first episode of Silver Linings, The Old Gays dive into an essential part of queer life: chosen family. They discuss the vital love, support, and sense of belonging that community provides, especially during life's toughest moments. They open up about what “queer” means to them, how chosen family has impacted their lives, and how to maintain close bonds over time–including their love for each other! “We’ve come a long way, baby.” Family isn’t just what you’re born with; it’s the people who show up, shape you, and stick around.

CW: In today’s episode we talk about themes of domestic violence and abuse. If these themes and conversations are triggering to you, please bypass this episode. As an adult who grew up in a home where it was more normal to put your hands on another person than to tell them that you love them, learning what safe love is was a hard lesson to learn. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the norm for me to feel safe in the home I lived in and in the relationships I had. In today’s episode, I share with you how I learned about safe love and what safe love even is. You, my beautiful friend, deserve safe love. A love that is safe, caring, and makes you comfortable. I hope this episode inspires you to make that happen if you don’t already have it. Click here to get information on how to get out of an abusive relationship. Need help?

Whether you have or have not, the flow state is an amazing state of mind that you can trigger intentionally to heighten your productivity, creativity and focus.

The flow state is a powerful frame of mind no matter who you are because it can help you make progress and change. Tune into today’s new episode to learn all about the flow state, how to trigger it, and why it’s important!

Content warnings for this episode: I am talking about some topics that can be seen as politically charged. While that is not the point of this episode, it is something to keep in mind. I personally identify with liberal views and values so if you do not, this episode might not be for you. Please practice kindness and understanding while listening to today’s episode. In 2024, there are many many things that we are facing as women that are *truly* spooky. In today’s new episode, I break down five things that are TRULY spooky to have to know and realize as a modern day female. You would think we are further along in most of these things but unfortunately we are not. I believe it’s important to stay informed in an age where false information is spread like wildfire.
