Summary

If you're an old school listener of the pod, then over the years you've probably heard Lauren and Nicole mention their SINGLE GREATEST SUCCESS STORY* as podcasters, which is the marriage of Episode 25 guest Vanessa Ravenscroft. Well, get ready for a lovey-dovey episode, because today Lauren and her guest co-host Vanessa are talking to the woman who made it all possible: baker, artist, and Vanessa's wife, Sarah Ravenscroft! Sarah hit the ground running by living every lesbian's dream (i.e., dating her best friend at an all-girls Catholic high school). But when that relationship had run its course, she found herself grappling with an all-too-relatable queer conundrum: how do you find potential partners; *especially* if you're considered "straight-presenting?" Sarah discusses the queer platonic relationship she entered into with an ace male friend (they had a dog *and* a house!), and the fateful night that Vanessa slid into her DMs. Squeal along with Lauren as Sarah and Vanessa share their love story, from that very first message on Twitter to the day Nicole officiated their wedding at Disneyland!

0:00.0	Hi y'all, welcome to Coming Out Pod. I am your host, Lauren. Okay, I'm excited to shout out today's queer root because it is, it is thematic. I will not always be able to tie these into current events in pop culture,
0:22.8	but when I can, I will. So very recently in Los Angeles, we had a hurricane slash tropical
0:30.1	storm, and it reminded me of a very specific queer root. Shout out to anyone out there who's
0:36.3	queer root is Helen Hunt in the
0:38.6	movie Twister, specifically wearing the white tank top. I think that was a formative moment for
0:46.3	many in our community. So if that is you, shout out to you. Folks, I'm so excited because I do have a guest co-host today. I am here with
0:57.6	episode 25 guest, Vanessa Ravenscroft. Hi, Vanessa. Thank you for coming back. Hi, Lauren. Thank you for
1:06.4	having me. It's fun to be on this side this time. I know, right? You're seeing behind the curtain.
1:12.6	Now, those of you who have been listening since the beginning might be like, that wasn't Vanessa's
1:18.5	last night back when she was on the podcast. Well, you are correct. Vanessa is married, as you know,
1:26.4	if you follow the lore of coming out pod. And this is, so this is
1:31.5	Vanessa's married last name. And I am so excited about our guest today, because our guest is Sarah
1:39.7	Ravenscroft, Vanessa's wife. Hi, Sarah. Hi. How are you? Oh, my gosh. I'm good. I'm so thrilled to have you.
1:48.8	Again, this is probably repeat information for many of you, but if you do not know,
1:54.2	so Vanessa was on the podcast way early in the process. Again, episode 25, we hadn't been doing it
2:00.2	that long. And as we noted in Nicole process. Again, episode 25, we hadn't been doing it that long. And as we noted
2:02.8	in Nicole's final episode, the pod led to Vanessa meeting Sarah. They are now married.
2:11.1	They are the first, and I say first because I'm hopeful that there will be more, but they are
2:16.4	the first marriage to come out of the podcast.
2:20.5	And so we are finally, at long last, going to hear Sarah's story
2:25.4	and perhaps Sarah's side of how the whole meeting and subsequent engagement in marriage went down.
2:33.9	As you may also know if you're a
