Swell
SWELL is a LGBTQ Well Being podcast presented by George and Ana. Both LGBTQ pracitioners in their respective fields and self confessed “glass half full”-idolites, George and Ana share their stories and experiences of growing up queer, the impact of homophobia, how they overcame their struggles with addiction, mental health and identity, and offer support to others in the community. Like Ant and Dec but gayer. Five stars said our girlfriends.
Do we truly take care of ourselves in the LGBTQ community or are we just living out our trauma and taking care of other peoples expectations? George and Ana discuss and overshare.
When trauma hits in the LGBTQ community, it hits big. But why? Is growing up LGBTQ traumatic? Or are our already existing traumatic experiences magnified by heteronormativity? Ana and George discuss and giggle.
It’s here, homos! Homophobia and its impacts run deep and can leave people seeking escapism. In Episode 2, Ana and George discuss their experiences with alcohol and drug addiction and how they came through it. Strap in. It’s a trip.
This is the first ever episode of SWELL. Meet George and Ana, two LGBTQ practitioners, and listen as we start to lift the lid on our stories of growing up facing homophobia.
