This week, as per usual, The Lesbian Breakup Podcast is reporting from two very different lesbian frontiers: Elina’s finally back in ~Brooklyn~ after undergoing a cinematic reunion with an old lover in Miami, and Zara’s in the crystalline waters of French Polynesia and ~Hawaii~ having a mermaid rebirth (grief is strange, babes).
Elina recounts reconnecting with the ex who once moved to Saudi Arabia, accepting a little princess treatment at the World Cup, and realizing that sometimes the most grown-up ending isn’t a breakup—it’s evolving from lovers to friends.
Meanwhile, Zara swims with sharks, gets humbled by a boogie board, sheds her hair extensions, and slowly begins to feel joy after years of survival mode.
We yap about unavailable lovers, the safety of long-distance fantasy, writing people back into existence, and the strange, beautiful moment when grief finally makes room for laughter.
Plus: a very special announcement about our August break and our upcoming reunion in the South of France.
