Some conversations don’t stay on one topic.They wander through identity, friendship, community, mental health, entrepreneurship, queer joy, Dutch directness, chosen family, and somehow end with a little boy asking if trans people were abducted by aliens.This is one of those conversations.In this episode, I’m joined by one of my dearest friends, Val: massage therapist, founder of Peaks and Valleys Wellness, queer entrepreneur, and one of the safest humans I know.Together, we talk about what it means to build spaces where people truly belong, why no one person should be your entire world, the importance of community, and how embracing who you really are can quietly inspire everyone around you to do the same.Val also shares her deeply personal transition story; from writing a female main character years before understanding why, to surviving a stroke that completely changed her perspective on life.It’s funny. It’s vulnerable. It’s chaotic in the most ADHD way possible. And above all, it’s a conversation about becoming more yourself.If you’ve ever struggled to fit in, wondered where your people are, or simply needed a reminder that you’re allowed to take up space exactly as you are…This episode is for you.🖤 If it resonates, send it to someone who needs to hear it today.Follow Valeria:Click here for insta | Here for ThreadsFollow me:Insta | Threads | website | Medium | Or on Twitter (I refuse to call it the other one) as a... protest lol
