I’m so excited to introduce you to my guests, Sam and Ali — aka The Wealthy Gays.

They’re newlyweds navigating their finances together for the first time, and in this episode we dig into what financial freedom really looks like for queer couples. We also get into how building wealth is a personal journey, and it looks different for each of us.

We talk about setting goals that reflect your own values, budgeting without shame, having open (and sometimes tough) money conversations with your partner, and unlearning the beliefs that hold us back. It’s candid, hopeful, and full of great takeaways.

Enjoy :)

Graduate school. Get a job. Buy a house. Get married. Have kids.

Society handed us a script — but Gen Z and Millennials? We’re are rewriting the whole thing.

And the queer community? We’ve been off-script from the start.

In this episode, I’m diving into love, timelines, starting over in your 30s, and why breaking societal norms is so much more common compared to past generations.

Welcome Ann Russo—an LGBTQ+ mental health advocate, educator, and founder of AMR Therapy, which has supported over 1,500 clients in the past four years.

With over 20 years of experience in mental health, Ann brings a blend of professional training and lived experience to the table. She holds a Master’s in Theology and has made it her mission to bridge the gap between faith, identity, trauma, and healing—especially for queer communities.

In this conversation, Ann opens up about growing up in a queer household in the 80s, the realities of mental health challenges queer people face today and what it was like attending a religious conversion therapy conference as a queer woman. Yes, you read that right.

She also shares many insights from her work—whether she’s training hospitals or therapists—on how we can all better support the queer community LGBTQ+ with care.
