In this episode, I'm joined by a guest whose story is a testament to the strength of chosen family and the resilience of the human spirit. Raised by his great aunt and godmother, he shares how powerful female figures became his anchors through an unconventional upbringing.

We explore the emotional complexities of sibling relationships shaped by being raised in different homes, and how those early dynamics influence connection and trust later in life.

He opens up about experiencing multiple devastating losses in a short period—and the trauma, perspective shifts, and personal growth that followed. Together, we discuss the vital role of coping mechanisms, the importance of mental health support, and how finding community can help pull us through life’s toughest moments.

In this week’s episode, we're chatting with the fabulous Ken Lambert, who takes us behind the scenes of his journey into the world of drag—from discovering his love for performing, to creating a fierce persona that lets him shine in every sense of the word. He spills the tea on what it's like to run a local gay bar, the highs and lows of owning your identity, and how stepping into heels helped him step into his power.

We talk relationships, chosen family, and the not-so-glam side of dealing with hate and stigma—and how he handles it all with grace and a good sense of humor.

Oh, and we’re not forgetting our history queens either! We’re shouting out William Dorsey Swann, the first known drag queen (yes, way back in the 1800s!), and UK legend Lily Savage, who brought sparkle and sass to the stage long before RuPaul hit our screens.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like behind the wig and lashes—or just need a reminder that being your true self is more than enough—this one’s for you. 💖

🎧 Tune in now and remember: you’re not alone, and it’s okay to take up space like the glittery badass you are. 👑
