This is a really beautiful, important episode. We dove into Jess' personal experience discovering her sexuality & coming out as a lesbian in high school where she didn't receive the full support she needed to feel safe being visible.
We ventured through her journey in receiving the support she needed to embrace her sexuality, allow herself to be more visible, explore her gender expression, & receive love for being herself.
