Embracing Bisexual Identity: Featuring Kaitlyn

I'm not gay, you are

Message Joey!

Imagine navigating the choppy waters of self-identity, where understanding your own sexuality feels like a puzzle with missing pieces. Kaitlyn, a treasured friend of mine and my partner's best friend, joins us to share her poignant journey of self-discovery as a bisexual woman. At just 18, she faced the daunting task of figuring out her attraction to both sexes and the societal norms that clouded her understanding of the future. Through Kaitlyn's heartfelt narrative, we unpack the challenges and triumphs of embracing one's true self, illustrating how curiosity and courage can transform confusion into clarity.

From Instagram stalking *insert winky face* to lifelong love, their modern-day romance story unfolds next. Kaitlyn's fiancée, Celeste (or Cel, as she's lovingly called), and her found each other in the vast world of social media, and their connection quickly blossomed into something deeper. Their path to engagement was filled with moments of serendipity, from jet-lagged naps on first dates to the swift comfort of a shared home. They also touch on the stereotypes of modern dating and how breaking those molds brought them even closer together, revealing the beauty of finding love in unexpected places.
But the journey of love doesn't come without its hurdles, particularly when it involves coming out to loved ones. Kaitlyn recounts the spontaneous decision to share my bisexual identity with her mom during a phone call, an anxiety-laden yet liberating experience. Kaitlyn also sheds light on the broader challenges bisexual individuals face, such as stereotypes and societal expectations. Together, we discuss the importance of authenticity and the support found in trusted friendships. This episode aims to support and inspire, encouraging listeners to embrace their unique journeys and to live truthfully, regardless of societal norms or preconceived labels.
