    <description><![CDATA[In What To Expect, I will discuss stories from real members of the LGBTQ+ community about healthcare. The name is a play on the common phrase what to expect when expecting but it addresses a much broader topic of what to expect when facing healthcare as a queer individual. While the experiences explored  in the podcast will be broad, any profit that is made from the podcast will be donated to the non-profit. The non-profit entity will be putting the money into funds for costs related to family planning for members of the LGBTQ+ community. This can include cost of purchasing sperm, storing it, and paying for real procedures like IUI, along with many other often costly expenses. The hope is to be able to bring light to real life instances of mistreatment and to celebrate the wins in healthcare when they come as well. By using real stories I aim to uplift voices within the community in order to be an effective ally. Please feel free to send messages on related platforms to share your story. 
Enjoy! ]]></description>
