Vulnerability Is In

Christian doesn’t believe in right person, wrong time anymore…

Some people come into your life as a blessing.

Others come as lessons.

We learn and we grow.

We don’t always see it right away but once we remove the rose-colored glasses we can start to see things for how they really are - the good and the bad.

Be You, Be Proud, and Listen Now!

Whether you are a pessimist, realistic, or optimist…

We have a message for you.

“Dear 2022, I’m stepping into you with no resolutions. No preconceived notions. No long laid out plans. I have no expectations of you, only of me to love myself more.”

We love to set expectations for ourselves - in our careers, relationships, friendships, etc.

We’re breaking free from our great expectations to live a more fulfilling life.

Be You, Be Proud, and Listen Now!

We’re back and looking forward to 2022!

While Jan 1st is a great opportunity for a fresh start…

We can choose to do things differently at any point in the year.

This episode we’re sharing some self-love and motivation tips that we're doing to start the year off on the right foot.

Be You, Be Proud, and Listen Now!

That’s right.

We’re taking a break.

Don’t worry though.

We’ll be back on January 11th!

We have a lot of great stuff planned.

We hope this new year is your best year yet!

We’re talking about learning communication in a new relationship.

And who better to bring on the podcast than my very own girlfriend, Morgan.

We reflect on:

• How we met (it all started with meeting her twin sister),
• Working together to develop an open line of communication,
• Prioritizing your relationship,
• Working on yourself to work on the relationship,
• Our love of We’re Not Really Strangers,
• And more…

Whether you’re looking for a new relationship, you’re in a relationship and want to have better conversation, or you just want to hang out, then this episode is for you.

A year ago we took a trip to Jackson, MS and had no idea what would happen next…

We’ve spent the last year building the No Subject Apparel community.

And all we can say is thank you, thank you, thank you.

So much.

We look forward to another year of live events, live streams, and podcast episodes.

We’re sharing the story behind the brand, the podcast, our shirts, and more.

Don’t Miss Out On the Black Friday BOGO Sale Running Through Friday, December 3rd.

Sometimes we put up with people who don’t treat us right so we’re not alone.

We’ve seen countless friends accept less than they deserve in their relationships.

This goes for friendships too…

You are worthy.

You are enough.

Know your worth.

It’s Faith’s Birthday!!!

(She’s turning the BIG 3-0).

And it’s been a year since her record, “The Difference”, came out.

She’s going into the stories behind the songs and what that process was like.

What is the “difference”?

Tune in to find out…

It’s that time of the year…

The holidays.

When you’re LGBTQ+, it can be a great time with friends and loved ones but this is not always the case when it comes to families.

It’s so important to create boundaries for yourself and your family.

This is something you can really benefit from any time of the year.

We want you to have the “happiest season”!

We are so excited to have KAREGAN joining us for today’s episode!

If you’ve never heard her music before you should know she has the voice of an angel.

Her love of music and the beginnings of her music career came at a young age - 8 years old.

Now she writes with other artists and is even working on a number of songs she hopes to release in the coming year.

She steps out of her comfort zone and empathetically shares her stories through music.

Join us in conversation as we dive into her process.

Have you ever felt healthy love?

Do you believe you’re worthy of healthy love?

A lot of people want what they can’t have and chase what isn’t right for them.

A lot of times we end up repeating the same patterns we’ve seen reflected by so many others around us.

The time to break the cycle is now.

Be You, Be Proud, and Listen Now!

Today we have a very special guest…

Nathan Childers fronts the Nashville band, Smallville.

Faith and Christian open up about the impact of social media on their mental health.

The good and the bad.

It truly is a balance.

Especially when COVID-19 hit, we all turned online to feel connected.

While it can be harmful to obsess over the number of likes and followers you have…

Social media also has a way of educating people and bringing them together.

It brought you to us and for that we’re glad you’re here.

We’ve been talking about “Texas” (Delaney Runnels) for weeks.

Now you get to meet her.

We cover healing from past relationships, communication while long-distance, Christian’s history with Delaney, and how they’ve worked on themselves for the better.

You might be surprised how they met…

Delaney can be found on IG @Delaney.runnels and TikTok @delaneyr111

This is the final part of a 3-part interview series with former model, Camille Aimee (she/her).

Camille spent years modeling around the world.

She shares her stories from living in China and Paris to the vulnerability of casting calls and photoshoots.

After realizing the mental and physical implications of the industry, Camille decided to quit modeling, finish school, and live an authentic life that is true to herself.

Come behind the scenes of the runway with Camille, Faith, and Christian in this episode of Vulnerability Is In.

TW: There is some discussion of disordered eating, weight, and human trafficking in this episode. Please listen with discretion.

Communication is hot.

It’s not easy to be vulnerable.

And it’s not always easy to hear someone's truth.

You open yourself up to opposition.

It's okay if you don’t see eye to eye.

Because if you leave the space for the conversation…

It can be so rewarding.

When Faith and Camille met...

They were not fans of each other.

Even when Christian and Camille met it was under some tense circumstances.

That is until they learned how to work through their differences.

You can learn to love the people you think you dislike.

And they could even end up being one of your best friends.

At No Subject Apparel we have a saying…

STOP BEING IMPRESSED BY MINIMAL EFFORT.

Sometimes we accept the love we think we deserve.

And often we deserve a lot better than we think we do.

Do you remember how it felt when you came out?

Who did you come out to?

We’re talking about coming out…

As members of the LGBTQ+ community, you don’t come out just once.

You come out throughout your life, over and over.

Here are a few of our coming out stories and how vulnerability was a key player.

As ex-vangelical, now-proud lesbians, we’re talking about the new Netflix documentary, Pray Away, which chronicles the ex-gay movement.

We’re discussing our experiences with the Church, our coming out stories, and how we overcame “Gay Shame”.

Be Out, Be Proud, Be You, and Listen Now!

Have you been ghosted?

Have you fought to get their attention back?

We’re here to tell you it’s not a competition.

If you’re competing for someone’s attention and you’re clearly not their first choice…

Just walk away.

Stop accepting minimal effort.

Tune in to get our take on new relationships and (un)healthy habits.

Communication is the key to vulnerability in relationships.

The lack of communication is also the #1 reason most relationships fail.

While most relationships aren’t meant to last, there are healthy ways to foster conversations and create a safe, welcoming environment for your partner.

You have to be vulnerable to earn trust, but you have to have trust in order to be vulnerable.

Tune in to get our take on establishing healthy communication in relationships.

Vulnerability in friendships is just as important as vulnerability in your relationships. We reminisce on meeting at Bonnaroo, what it was like living together, and how it’s impacted our relationship today.

(And Christian didn’t even think I liked her when we met.)

We haven’t always gotten along, but we have fought and cried and it’s made our friendship even stronger.

On a bigger picture, we discuss what it’s like to be in a (gay) friend group and how to set boundaries. Trust us, you NEED to be doing this.

If you want to learn more about the “One-Turd-Wonder” and diving deeper into your friendships/relationships, tune in to this episode!

It's here. The FIRST EPISODE of Vulnerability Is In! We’re talking about what we perceive vulnerability to be, what society thinks, what our friends think, and the misconceptions of vulnerability. Communication and courage are MAJOR steps to keep the conversation open and bring us closer to the people in our lives. We have definitely tried and failed along the way, and we're still learning! That's totally okay. Brene Brown has come to our rescue more than once. Listen in and get in the arena! 

Welcome to the podcast! Vulnerability Is In explores queer culture while promoting self-love and expression of identity. Join Nashville residents, Faith Holt and Christian Lingle, in fun and often powerful conversations on today's understanding of what it means to be vulnerable.
