Wow, what a week.

What started as a scandal on Summer House quickly turned into a much bigger conversation.

In this episode, I’m unpacking the situation involving Ciara Miller, West Wilson, and Amanda Batula — and why so many people are reacting so strongly to it.

We’re talking about hypersexualization of Black women and women of colour, the experience of being desired but not always chosen, and what it feels like to be “othered” in friendships, dating, and predominantly white spaces.

I briefly share my own perspective growing up in a small, mostly white town, and how moments like this on reality TV can reflect real-life dynamics that don’t always get named.

This isn't just a Bravo cheating scandal. It’s about who gets empathy, who gets labeled, and how race can quietly shape the way we experience relationships.

(Also: TEAM CIARA, always!)

Friends!! I can't wait for you to tune into this one. My two close friends Cayla and Tiff are a queer couple who truly embody vulnerability, honesty, and a really sweet kind of love. They joined me on the pod for an honest conversation about their relationship, how they met, and the story behind the creation of their social page and connection-based game show, A Chicken Named Paul.

We talk about communication, growth, healthy queer relationships, and of course, we had to throw in some astrology questions too.

A few minutes of movement each day can work wonders for your mental health, especially during the winter months, when snow, rain, and long hours indoors make it so easy to stay cozy. Unfortunately, that can also mean we aren't moving our bodies!

Daily movement is a reset for your mind, a break from screens, and a reminder to be present. Step outside and touch some grass friends! It'll do wonders xx

This episode explores what a healthy queer relationship can actually look like. From trust to open communication, and why not having butterflies all the time might be a good thing.

Inspired by my friends Eden & Jay ❤️

A short and sweet episode about my love for Hayley Kiyoko and how the Girls Like Girls music video became a defining moment for so many queer people when it came out in 2015.

I share my own feelings around the music video, and how watching it for the first time in 2015 (at 20 years old) had me reflecting on feelings I had for a friend back in high school.

PS: What a full-circle moment — Hayley Kiyoko’s directorial debut, the feature film adaptation of Girls Like Girls, hits theatres June 19. The gays are screaming.

Inspired by the novel We Breed Lions by Rick Westhead, my good friend Jess and I unpack the long history of silence, misogyny, and homophobia embedded in hockey culture and why change has been so slow.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault, hazing, homophobia, and abuse within hockey culture. Listener discretion is advised.

BENITO BOWL 2026 🇵🇷 🏉

I truly have no words. This performance made me cry, smile, and dance (and I’ve watched it at least 100 times).

In this episode, I break down the symbolism behind Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio’s powerful halftime show, with insight inspired by an article from OUT Magazine (linked below).

Enjoy xx
