Show notes

Alexis Caught is an award-winning podcaster, writer, rugby player, and all-around powerhouse. In January 2022, Alexis released the uplifting book "Queer Up," designed to empower LGBTQ+ teens on their journey of self-discovery in the modern age.
Ā 
On top of all this, Caught is also an activist, speaker, psychotherapist, and passionate advocate for positive mental health. On the surface he is the epitome of success, using his platform to inspire others to ignite positive change, however, in this conversation he opens up about his early struggles as an effeminate young boy in a close-minded community.Ā 

Throughout our discussion we talk about the mental health struggles LGBTQ+ folk are more likely to face, how to deal with chronic minority stress syndrome and touch on sex and consent within the community.
