What is neuroqueer? What is it like to find a space where you feel seen for all that you are? What gives us hope for the future?

In this episode, Sarah and Pk sit down with CJ DeBarra - author, journalist and marketing person for Undressing Disability at Enhance the UK. We explore what it was like to grow up queer and neurodivergent in rural Ireland, the lengths we'll all go to to find a place that feels like we belong and how it feels when we finally do.

We also talk about CJ's work on Neuroqueerness, disability and what gives them hope for the future.

You can get "Neuroqueer: A Neurodivergent Guide to Love, Sex and Everything in Between" at Waterstones, Blackwells or ask your local indie bookshop to order you a copy!

CJ is on pretty much all socials and you should definitely give them a follow.

For this Pride month we thought we'd celebrate by giving you a very special one-off episode!! In this episode we speak to a previous guest from way back in Season 1 and speak to Che Stephenson-Hunter, Sarah's wife who has recently come out as non-binary. In this episode Che talks openly about some of the challenges they've faced coming out later on in life and why they believe this time is the right time for them to embrace their authentic self. It may only be a short episode but there's a lot packed into it so grab a cup of your favourite liquid and listen on!
