S2 E8: Sam Merryfull with Laura

Listen on

Episode notes

Lauren lives out her Sliding Doors moment with this week's guest, her childhood boyfriend and loved family friend, Sam Merryfull. Sam and Lauren reflect on growing up in their small town, and the significance of leaving to find their true selves. Sam and Lauren dated when they were in Primary School and have remained friends ever since. Listen for the juicy details of why they broke up...

 

Sam is a walking ray of sunshine, giving you daily doses of happiness and fierceness on his Instagram where he has posted fabulous queer joy every day of Sydney lockdown. Like Lauren, Sam spent some time living in Canada (Lauren may have been inspired to make the move in part by his) and they share the mutual feeling of the importance of that move and its relation to Sam's sexuality journey.

 

Sam is joined by his best friend and roommate Laura and they touch on following your heart, making selfless decisions for your friends (wow Lauren had some reflecting to do on this, so beautiful) and more.

 

Make sure to follow Sam and Laura for posts of isolation -- but make it hot.
