🌈Jackie Hoffart
on getting access to the things we had barely let ourselves dream about
🧡 HEY FRIENDS! 🧡
Before we dive into this lovely episode, I wanted to share something special and important with y’all!
A pal of mine,
is looking for folks to answer questions about queer joy and positivity. He is writing a book for psychotherapists about working with queer clients and challenging the common narrative that queer lives are full of difficulties (he mentioned that he knows in many ways they are but thinks — and I agree — it needs more of a push towards a positive narrative too).It would be so great if you could anonymously take part. Tom is only keeping the questions live for a few weeks, so get to it!
