Transferring Sucks

Hi everyone, there are conversations that challenge you loudly and then there are the ones that quietly rearrange how you think.
This episode belongs to the second kind. Sitting down with Ari, what began as a conversation about monogamy slowly unfolded into something much deeper: a reflection on queerness, intimacy, chosen structures, and the invisible rules we’re taught to follow when it comes to love. Not because they fit us, but because they’re familiar.
We talk about monogamy not as a default, but as a choice. About queerness not as a category, but as a lens. About relationships not as something to label, but something to experience honestly. This episode isn’t here to give answers or define what love should look like. It’s here to sit in the questions, the uncomfortable ones, the tender ones, the ones we don’t always say out loud.
If you’ve ever felt like the traditional relationship narrative didn’t quite fit, or if you’ve found yourself curious about what intimacy could look like beyond expectation, this conversation invites you to listen, slowly, openly, and without needing to decide anything at all. Enjoy listening to this episode and stay tuned for a new episode next week!
This episode explores blind hockey and the role of adaptive sports in expanding accessibility and inclusion in athletics. Through a conversation with Craig Fitzpatrick, a blind hockey player and disability advocate, the episode looks at how sports can be reimagined to serve a wider range of participants.
The discussion covers how blind hockey works, the challenges disabled athletes face in traditional sports environments, and why accessibility should be treated as a fundamental part of athletic design rather than an accommodation. The episode also addresses common misconceptions about disability in sports and the importance of representation in competitive spaces.
Craig is also the author of a book focused on his experiences and advocacy work, His book is available for purchase on amazon- https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Puck-Leadership-Lessons-Journey/dp/1637279108.

Keep On Rolling On
This episode goes into how the NCAA Mens Soccer Tournament went, the ket matchups for the upcoming Womens basketball game vs Louisville, and what to look out for headed into the 2026 Baseball and Softball seasons!
A new year, a new semester, and it only felt right to start this season with a familiar voice.
In this episode, I’m joined by our old and well-known friend Abdullah Najjar for a conversation that feels like coming home. We talk about approaching strangers, starting conversations, awkward silences, curiosity, fear, and the courage it takes to say the first hello, whether in a coffee shop, a classroom, or life in general.
This episode is less about having the perfect words and more about showing up as you are. It’s about listening, making mistakes, laughing them off, and realizing that some conversations are meant to last, and some are simply meant to happen.
If this new year has you craving connection, this episode is for you.
Welcome back to The Identity Library.
Let’s start the season by starting the conversation.
Julia and Kieran kick off this episode of That’s What They Said with a vibrant rebrand and a relatable look at the chaos of morning routines and the first day of classes. The duo shares a series of humorous personal updates, covering everything from Julia’s conversations with her wooden lobster to their experiences with scam texts, color-coded calculus notes, and the trials of returning to dating apps.
Hi everyone, The Identity Library is back, and I’m so excited for the semester ahead!
This episode is a personal New Year check-in. I share a few honest updates about the podcast, reflect on the past year, and talk about why I’ve started approaching New Year’s resolutions differently. Instead of pressure or perfection, I focus on choosing a theme for the year, something that offers direction without rigidity.
We talk about reflection without judgment, realistic intentions, long-term versus short-term thinking, and how growth doesn’t have to be dramatic to be meaningful. This episode is part update, part reflection, and an invitation to slow down, realign, and move into 2026 with clarity and self-trust.
If you’re entering the new year feeling motivated, uncertain, or somewhere in between, this episode is for you.
Thank you for listening and for being part of this journey.
