| Episode 14: F*ck Elsa: Let's Spotlight Anna's Journey in Frozen 2 | 13 Nov 2025 | 00:14:54 | |
With the Frozen franchise, we focus on Elsa a lot. In this episode we look at what we can learn from turning some of that focus onto Anna so that we can learn from both characters at the same time. F*ck Elsa is not because there's anything wrong with her, it's just that we get a richer and more balanced view from considering her and Anna at the same time. Covering Frozen 2 in an episode was requested by a listener and I really hope they find something interesting and original in this. I certainly found a different narrative than I had been expecting! | |||

So join me, Carole (they/them), in this exploration. --- You can find more of my content over on my website https://www.caroledianecoaching.co.uk and you can always email me at office@caroledianecoaching.co.uk with any reflections, comments and questions | |||

| Episode 10: Can bisexual and pansexual people have gay, lesbian or straight relationships? | 13 Mar 2024 | 00:17:31 | |
Today we're looking at the language used to describe the relationships that bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, polysexual and other multi-attraction spectrum people have. Can we really have a gay, lesbian or straight relationship when we aren't gay, lesbian or straight? What should we call relationships where we don't know someone's sexuality but we can observe the genders of the people in the relationship? It's an interesting topic and one that has been cropping up a lot in the world around me lately. | |||
