From setting boundaries with people you love to walking away from situations that drain you, this episode is for anyone who’s ever felt guilty for choosing themselves.

Episode 4: Am I OK?

It’s a simple question with a loaded answer: Am I OK? In this episode, Brandon peels back the layers behind the mask we wear when we smile and say “I’m fine.” From mental health struggles to moments of quiet breakdowns no one sees, we dive into the raw, unfiltered truth of what it means to be not okay — and why that’s more normal than most people admit.

This one is for anyone who’s ever sat in silence wondering if they’re doing alright… and needed someone to say, you’re not alone.

Episode 002: “The Look That Said It All”

They didn’t have to say it—you could feel it. The stares from across the room, the quiet tension at family gatherings, the subtle shifts in how people treated you once they knew. This episode unpacks the unspoken pressure to change, the silence that screamed louder than any sermon, and the emotional exhaustion of trying to shrink yourself into something they’d approve of.

Episode 001: “I Prayed It Away—But It Stayed”

What happens when you’re a kid, sitting in a church pew, praying to be someone else—because everyone around you says who you are is wrong? In this first episode, we dive into the early years: the sermons, the shame, and the small-town voices that shaped a belief that being gay meant being broken. This is the beginning of unlearning that lie—and reclaiming the truth.

Exit Only™ is a raw and revealing podcast about growing up queer—or questioning—in small-town America, where the silence can be louder than the sermons. Each episode dives into the complex lives of people navigating identity, faith, and fear in places where being different often feels like being damned. Through personal stories, interviews, and honest conversations, Exit Only™ creates a space where listeners can feel seen, understood, and less alone. Whether you're still in it, just made it out, or looking back, this podcast is your reminder that you were never broken—and you were never alone.
