Hello all you beautiful humans out there listening!

I’m so excited to finally bring you the next episode of my podcast “You Are Not a Villain”.

Now first things first, I do have to apologize for the time it took to bring you another one of these. As you may or may not know I suffer from anxiety and it’s a bit crippling sometimes. I get into this thing I call the “couch lock loop” where I start procrastinating because I’m anxious and then I get even more anxious because I’m procrastinating, and it goes on and on like that. The last episode had a lot of feedback and was very emotionally draining and knowing my next guest I had to really get in the headspace to do it again. I hope you guys feel it was worth the wait!

Said guest is the absolutely brilliant Micah Hill, and we spent hours talking about life, queerness, a lot of trauma and everything that comes with it so be ready for a lot of laughs and tears.

Since recording this episode Micah actually came out as non-binary so everyone show them some much deserved love! They also very kindly said they’re happy to talk to you if you are going through any of the experiences discussed in this two part episode. I’ll leave his Insta handle on the description.

I’d also like to give a shout to Survivors UK for helping men overcoming sexual assault. They do wonderful work so please support them, donate or spread the word to friends, family and loved ones. And if you want to get involved, we mentioned in the episode mistakenly 28 hours apologies for that but please join us participating in the 26 hours of silence to mirror the 26 years of silence which is the average time it takes a man to tell anyone he’s been sexually abused. As of time of publishing there’s no fixed date for the next time they will do Silence for the Silenced but I’ll keep you updated on the podcasts socials.

Always avoid meeting strangers in places you don’t think you’re safe. And ALWAYS remember to let someone know your location if you go and meet a stranger.

As a final disclaimer all the opinions and views on this podcast are personal and I’m always open to be educated in any subject that you may not agree with.

Thank you for listening, stay kind.
