This week Rosie is joined by Nicole Coenen, aka the internet’s favourite lesbian lumberjack 🌲 to talk about how a podcast episode three years ago turned into a real-life friendship and multiple trips around the world together 💌They chat about the blurred lines between friendship and romance in sapphic relationships, from falling for your best friend to trying to figure out if you want to date someone or just add them to your friendship group. Nicole opens up about how fear and confusion once made her hesitant to form close friendships with women, while Rosie shares her own experience of navigating those same feelings 🌈The two also get into flirting styles, the unspoken language between women, and why something as simple as eye contact can send you into full gay panic. They reflect on dating men vs women, the difference between loving someone and being in love, and how your idea of relationships evolves over time 💞And of course, they dive into heartbreak, healing, and what it takes to untangle your life and choose yourself - even when it’s the harder option.
It’s double trouble this week as Rosie is joined by comedian, writer and all-round icon Rosie Jones to talk about coming out, challenging stereotypes, and what it really means to live life as a proud “professional gay” 🌈They chat about Rosie Jones’ journey from being in the closet ten years ago to finally feeling free and fully herself, and why she wouldn’t change the timeline that got her there. Rosie opens up about growing up without seeing disabled people in happy relationships, how that affected the way she saw herself, and why representation around disability, romance and sex matters so much 💌The Rosies also get into dating as public figures, the weirdness of being recognised on dating apps, and being a baby-gay in the comedy world. Rosie shares the heartwarming story of meeting her girlfriend and how they fell in love, and gives us insight to what it feels like to finally be in a relationship where she knows exactly what she deserves 💞
This week Rosie is joined by Hannah Lewis (aka Lesbi Mum) to chat about accidentally ending up on the lesbian side of TikTok, becoming the internet’s unofficial queer parent, and answering the questions people are often too scared to ask 📱They talk about Hannah’s journey to coming out: from growing up Catholic and having a boyfriend, to the moment she realised she was gay after kissing a girl at 15. Hannah shares why it took time to feel comfortable using the word lesbian, and how her content now helps people (and parents) feel more prepared for conversations around coming out 🌈They also get into life as a queer parent online, the scrutiny that comes with it, and why strangers on the internet feel so comfortable asking deeply personal questions. Hannah dives into the realities of dating as a content creator, getting ghosted by women, and learning not to accept the bare minimum in relationships 💌
This week Rosie is joined by Farrel Hegarty to chat about building joyful chaos on the internet, the solidarity of the queer comment section, and why making people feel seen actually matters 🌈They get into figuring yourself out a little later than planned, dating men before women, navigating heartbreak without turning your ex into a villain, and what it really feels like to finally feel secure in your queerness.And of course, they’ll touch on the green flags in women so you’ll know the subtle signs a woman’s emotionally available, makes you feel comfortable in your own skin, and won’t ruin your life (probably) 💚
