In today's episode Joe talks to social media influencer Heather Foy AKA Happy Heather.

Heather talks about her upbringing in a very strict, high control religion and religious household. She talks about her early marriage, deconstructing with her husband, the coming out of one of their kids and how all that played in her finding the courage to face her own sexuality.
