About this listen
Sav (she/her) is a proud lesbian and social worker living in Wodonga, Victoria.
In this episode, Sav reflects on her journey of self-acceptance after growing up in a small rural town of just 1,000 people in New South Wales. She shares how the fear of coming out deeply impacted her mental health and how leaving her hometown gave her the space to embrace her identity. Sav discusses the importance of safety cues in the LGBTQIA+ community, the role of events like the Rainbow Ball in fostering belonging, and the power of reconnecting with her younger self through self-love and healing. She also speaks about the urgent need for regional councils and businesses to show up for the queer community, particularly in the face of rising hostility.
Trigger Warnings: Internalized homophobia, mental health struggles, and discussions of suicide.
