Hi everyone, it's Freya here. I just wanted to do a quick disclaimer before this episode. I actually

recorded this episode a little while ago now and I wasn't sure for a while if it was one that I was ever

going to post. But this podcast is all about having hard conversations and talking about difficult

things and this episode with my mum really reflects that the journey between me and my mom and my

sexuality since I've come out has been a long one and it hasn't always been easy and some days

there are still those sticking points of communication to be worked through however on the other side

of that I am so grateful for how far we have come and how I do truly feel so accepted for my sexuality now where my mom is

concerned and I think it's super important to share that. If you can relate to this, whether it be

you haven't come out or you're going through difficult times of family or like me, you've gone

through it and come out the other side. But of course, it's always going to be an ongoing conversation that

needs to be carefully discussed and worked through. You aren't alone and despite how difficult it can be

and sadly a lot of the time it will be if being able to live your truth is safe for you,

always choose that even if it's not always easy. Now let's get on with the show.

Thank you. choose that even if it's not always easy now let's get on with the show hello lesbians if you can see my mom's face right now she's acting like I'm Louis Theroux and she is sat in like a prison cell or something

Do you know what I mean?

Like the way that you're looking at me right now, you look terrified.

Why are you so scared?

I don't trust you.

That's why.

Okay, hold on.

I've got to introduce this episode. So I just put it on to the
