About us

Hello! Amanda and Allison here, and we're the hosts of the Simply Sapphic podcast. Thanks for coming to our about page!

Let's start with a little bit about us.

We're a queer couple currently living in Austin, Texas with our cat, Lily, and our dog, Ralph. We both grew up in Spokane, Washington, and moved around a bit until we both settled in Austin in 2020. 

Amanda considers herself to be a later-in-life queer person after realizing she was queer at 30-years-old, and Allison is a non-binary queer person who grew up heavily indoctrinated in church culture. Although our coming out stories are pretty different, one thing we had in common was that we both had a hard time finding information that could help us understand what it meant to be queer when we were first coming out.
 
We created this podcast because, while many spaces are dedicated to lesbians, few communities bring together every queer person born female or living as a woman—despite the many challenges and experiences we have in common. The Simply Sapphic podcast intends to educate and support all sapphic people the way we wish we were supported when we first came out to ourselves.

 

In each episode, we’ll talk about things like navigating hard family situations, sapphic dating and relationships, recovering from religious trauma, making queer friends, and everything in between.

 

So if you’re trans masc, trans femme, non-binary, or a cisgendered woman who identifies as queer, and you’re looking for community and conversations about everyday experiences as a sapphic person, tune in to our podcast!

 

WHAT DOES SAPPHIC MEAN?

If you haven't heard of the word sapphic before, no worries! The sapphic community includes cis and trans people who were assigned female at birth (AFAB) who date women as well as trans women who date women. The word sapphic in our title was chosen because we wanted the podcast to be inclusive of all sapphic identities rather than exclusive to only one group (e.g. for lesbians only), so come as you are 💜

We're excited you found your way here, and thanks for including Simply Sapphic in your journey.

Cheers!
