Summary
This week's caller is queer, polyamorous, and on ADHD-related academic probation in seminary school. These are all fairly new developments in her life. She talks to Gethard about how opening herself up to exploration and possibility led her to a life she says the old her would have been "appalled" by and why–even if this new life is a little more chaotic–she's so much happier now.
Head to chrisgeth.com to check out Gethard's new and improved website where you can get tickets to all of his upcoming tour dates and watch his special Half My Life for free!
