In this week's episode I am joined by my friend Rachel Slawson. Rachel was the first openly queer Miss USA representing Utah. She joins me on the podcast today to talk about her mental health journey, what it was like growing up in the Mormon church and coming out as Bi while competing for Miss USA. Rachel is also in an open relationship so we dive into their specific dynamic and explore our differences in polyamorous relationships.    Our lovely sponsors this week are:   Click here https://bit.ly/cheex-rfr to get a 14-day free trial on CHEEX with code RECOVERING Promo valid for new customers when selectin the yearly subscription option.
