    For anyone wondering if these if leaving a happy marriage is worth it to chase this lifestyle you can tell these women are very unhappy and re leading very miserable lives. Trying to cover it with a facade of “it’s worth the price of admission”. Save yourself some heartache and regret and learn from the mistakes of these women.

  • Meh 🫤🫤

    I want to like this podcast. While very different from my own experience, I love hearing coming out stories. But…these women are so ungrateful to the women who cleared a way for them. They denigrate lesbians who are more stereotypical and have so little diversity in their guests. I often cannot make it through a full episode. Sigh. What a drag.

    I came out 3 years ago at age 47 and after two hetero marriages. Alli and Melisa have given me a support group and so much validation. They helped me navigate this big move in my life with confidence and integrity.
