Caitlin and Lauren are happy queer adults, and in a world with not nearly enough stories about happy queer adults, they want to start sharing more of them. This podcast will explore the nuance, challenges and beautiful weirdness of navigating adult stages as LGBTQIA+ people, and share insights and tips from experts and queer folks who have been through them. Ultimately, these shared experiences bring our community closer together, and Lauren and Caitlin want to celebrate that and explore where our queer friends and experts found acceptance, love, support, and themselves in the queer community.

Sarah & Adrianna: Becoming The Old Lesbians At The Bar
Our guests today are Sarah and Adrianna from the Gay Women Channel. They are an incredible writer/director team who has been producing content together since high school.

Shannon Beveridge: Lesbian YouTube's Hannah Montana
You probably know Shannon Beveridge from her incredible work over the last decade as a creator and director on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, or even Tumblr as NowThisIsLiving. Shannon has made it her mission to create the content she wished existed as a queer kid, and has spent her career directing and producing videos that positively represent the LGBTQIA+ community. Shannon balances creating her own content with directing and producing. She’s directed narrative shorts, music videos for artists like Zolita, Joy Oladokun, Alyson Stoner, and Fletcher, and recently directed her first short film (!!).
In our interview with Shannon we dug into how she got started and developed her career as a content creator, the lengths she went to to meet up with internet friends 10 years ago, how her and her ex were almost on a reality TV show, and a whole lot more.

Alease The Embryologist: LGBTQ+ Fertility & The Effects of Overturning Roe v. Wade on IVF
We didn't think we'd be rushing to get out this episode recorded for an August launch a week after we recorded, but we also didn't anticipate the Supreme Court would be overturning 50 years of precedent with Roe v. Wade this past week either. We are angry, frustrated, and scared but want to get this information out there to people that need it.
In this interview with Alease Daniel, an embryologist and TikTok creator also known as @AleaseTheEmbryologist, we dig into all things LGBTQ+ fertility and family planning, from buying sperm safely to trans fertility preservation. We also discuss, in depth, the impacts overturning Roe v. Wade will now have on IVF in states where abortion is banned at conception.
This is an episode you don't want to miss!

Customer Reviews
Great Podcast
This was so great. I have been a fan of Shannon Beveridge (nowthisisliving) for several years now & that’s how i found this podcast. I really enjoy the content you guys put out. A different insight for Queer individuals especially people we consider celebrities in our community & Shannon is one of the most famous ones. Hope you guys can bring Kate Austin on here at some point as well Cammie Scott & some other outwardly lesbian creators that truly were part of such an important time for lesbian identifying individuals. You guys are great hosts, so excited to see what more comes next! Thank you for respresenting🏳️🌈
