TAKE CHANCES IN LOVE: BOLD STEPS, BIG DECISIONS, AND EARLY LESBIAN CRUSHES

Hey y'all! In this cozy outdoor episode (complete with unexpected British weather and flight patterns), Ashley takes a trip down memory lane, reflecting on her childhood crushes, early inspirations, and the absence of visible lesbian role models in the 70s. From crushing on Cher and Olivia Newton-John to discovering the power of Cyndi Lauper and Madonna, Ashley reminisces about growing up with limited LGBTQ+ representation and how it shaped her.

Ashley also dives into her experiences with meetups, dating, and finding community, emphasizing the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone to find your people. She encourages listeners to take brave actions, whether it's starting their own events, showing up to meetups, or just being open to love in all forms. Don't miss her advice on overcoming fear and the importance of alignment with your true self.

For me it was Marlo Thomas, Elizabeth Montgomery, and Michelle Pfeiffer.

And later it was Meg Ryan, Marisa Tomei, Jennifer Beals, Gillian Anderson, and Julianne Moore.

I still haven’t found any venues to meet lesbians but I did show up to a new “sideshow” of my individual therapy which is group therapy. So I will be doing this for 2 months commitment. My celesbian crush was Whitney Houston.
She did have a lesbian lover btw. She was the most beautiful singer in my opinion….and that soulful voice……. Omg!

Preface: I'm a 75yo southern male with evolving perspective's. I totally understand your pseudonym and I must tell you, it really pi$$es me off that women are so oppressed by sorry politicians, preachers & all the haters including FAMILY MEMBERS. I have a niece in her 60's who has been treated terrible by her family simply because of who she loves, most of her life, punished by the "Love Penalty" Hang in there and know that we're not all haters, some of us actually love & support you.

Presently the women abroad have caught my attention thru GL series, in Thailand, Germany, Australia, etc -so much so, headed to Bangkok initially. Busy preparing my property in states to Airbnb out and ready to depart for a new chapter. My home is so lovely, set in nature here, yet Thailand is calling and the Buddha energy - I am letting go and letting God direct me in the love dept while I begin moving my feet in that direction. Cheers to all you have shared here, great content -keep the videos coming 🙏🏻

Another 70s girl here. I don't remember much from that long ago, but certainly Elizabeth Mongomery (and I'll still watch 'Betwitched' on YouTube), Stevie Nicks was, and still is, huge crush. My dad was a country music fan and had quite a few Olivia Newton-John albums before she becase a pop/film star :-) I Also had a bit of a 'thing' for Suzi Quatro, who I wouldn't really regard as my 'type'!

I love the meetups, but they all go quiet over August because everyone (apart from me) is on holiday. No dates yet, but a few chats on the apps that went nowhere. I keep going but sometimes it's hard work.
