This is the most nervous I have ever been to record an episode, y’all. It’s because my guest is a true idol of mine. Since I met Julia (she/her) in our early twenties and she and her other roommate Anna (who also makes an appearance in this episode) welcomed me into their home, I have adored them both so much. Julia is wise, kind, hilarious, and strong and these are some of the many reasons I look up to her. She also introduced me to the sriracha and avocado combo which ultimately changed my life for the better.
In this episode:
-We reminisce about living under a falafel shop!
-Our friendship has blossomed just like we have and that is so nice!
-These show notes will never do justice to Julia’s elegant and sage words and I am willing to say that now so that you can stop reading and start listening!
-Linguistic shifts are a gift, and we are so grateful!
-Julia wants you to know it's never too late to reconsider whatever preconceived notions you have about your identity; age and past experience don't necessarily box you into one finite understanding of who you are as an individual!
-Montreal is a character in this story! It’s here, it’s queer! And speaking French is hard!
-The guest clip in this episode is likely one of the best I have ever gotten for this podcast. I may be biased as I love them both dearly, but it is okay?
-How nice it is for people to see us for who we are, maybe even before we can?
-Julia is making “workshopping a breakup” a thing and I am here for it!
-Coming out via @wussymag memes is a vibe!
-Everyone deserves a friendship like Anna and Julia’s! These loves are the most important!
-Perfectionism is a huge blockade for coming out “later” in life and Julia is so generous in sharing her experiences in putting that aside to find her joy!
-After you listen to this episode, you will go and read Little Women immediately!
