Family Meeting

  1. “My wife’s gaming addiction ruined it for me. We got divorced but recently got remarried. I love her and I don’t want to hurt her but I’m hoping my feelings change so I don’t feel trapped in my choice to make things work between us.”

  1. “We have not had sex in months now even at our new place. I’m concerned that there’s a disconnection sexually. We have been together for 9 years so maybe time has a lot to do with that? Any advice on what I can do or how I can bring up the conversation to her?”

FOLLOW LES CHAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA/PATREON: 


There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when you're among friends who truly get where you're coming from-raw, honest, and often hilarious. That's the space Les Chat Podcast-LGBTQ+-Lesbian Latinas creates. Hosted by Jojo and Dayra, a queer couple whose dynamic is as engaging as their insights, this podcast feels less like a formal show and more like pulling up a chair at their kitchen table. Their discussions are grounded in the specific, vibrant intersection of being both Latina and part of the LGBTQIA+ community, drawing from their own life experiences alongside those of friends and family who are either in the community or staunch allies. You'll hear them dive into the messy, beautiful, and complicated realities of relationships, sex, and dating, while also unpacking topics like labels, the reclamation of slurs, and breaking down stereotypes. It’s storytelling with a point of view, where personal anecdotes open up into broader conversations about identity and culture. Tuning into this podcast means getting a genuine, unfiltered look into a world that is often misunderstood, all delivered with the warmth and familiarity of a long-overdue chat with your favorite people.
