Pride 2025: A Personal Reflection

As we round out June 2025, we did not want to leave it without reflecting on what Pride month means to us and to the LGBTQIA+ community. Join host CH as she reflects on what Pride has ultimately come to mean to her, and some of the key lessons it has taught her - namely, the importance of standing up for kindness, acceptance, and understanding in a world often divided by differences. It seems Pride represents even MORE to us this year than in recent years past. And, it serves as an important reminder about embracing diversity, learning from different life experiences, and the enduring importance of being an ally to each other. Show Notes Key mentions from this episode: Outside with Pride is REI's annual campaign in support of the LGBTQIA+ community. CH participated in the very first of these when it launched in 2016. @OsloPride (via Instagram) is the organization that ran the campaign about the importance of showing LGTBQIA+ allyship. @kris.and.dave (via Instagram) are one of CH's faves for being a great of example of what allyship looks like in practical terms. The Stonewall Uprising of 1969 served as the catalyst to what is now the modern day Pride movement. Highly recommended read for those who may not know or be aware of how Pride came to be.
