Pride Edition: Balls, Boobs & Being Nonbinary

Monica and Sara

In this Pride Month episode, we’re getting personal.

We talk about what it means to grow up queer in sports—before there were Pride games, before there was language for nonbinary identities, and before we knew it was even possible to live out loud. From telepathic locker room vibes to being the only queer kid on the team (or so we thought), we reflect on how much has changed—and how much hasn’t.

We also get into:
 🏳️‍⚧️ The quiet power of queer community and the safety we find in chosen family
 🧠 Monica’s recovery journey, navigating gender and body feelings, and choosing a breast reduction over top surgery
 🏀 Why rec league hoops feels like the most affirming space we know
 📍 Sara’s big move to Florida, the reality of being queer in a red state, and finding connection anyway

It’s a conversation about identity, safety, joy, discomfort, and showing up for yourself—even when you’re still figuring it all out.
