    Trauma, Beyonce, and a Flat Tire

    enSeptember 06, 2023

    About this Episode

    It sounds like Wes and Phillip had some interesting trips recently. Wes had a challenging experience going back to Austin for Pride, dealing with anxiety and trauma. It's important to acknowledge that traveling can sometimes trigger emotions and memories, and it's brave of Wes to open up about his struggles.

    On the other hand, Phillip seems to have had a more positive experience, enjoying Beyoncé's performance in Atlanta with his niece and nephew and celebrating Pride in Charlotte with his friend Omar.
