Being the Black Sheep
Ep. 8 - Sheep Are Gay Too — Raised by a Rainbow Flock with Expensive Habits
Growing up in a rainbow household meant my family looked nothing like anyone else’s — I had a lesbian mom, a bisexual (okay, mostly gay) dad, and a childhood that could’ve been its own sitcom. The PTA wasn’t ready for us, and neither was my bank account.
From my mom’s secret partner to my dad’s quiet coming out, I learned early that love doesn’t fit into neat little boxes — and neither does budgeting.
In this episode, I talk about how being raised by a fabulously nontraditional family gave me resilience, humor, and a complicated relationship with money. Spoiler alert: emotional spending counts as cardio when you’re a black sheep with rainbow DNA.
