For years, she describes living in a \u201cgrey area\u201d &#8211; dating boys, going along with what was expected, and feeling like she was always holding something back without knowing why.<\/p>\n<p class=\"indo-ebe0ecc6_root indo-ebe0ecc6_paragraph indo-300db776_none indo-91174671_primary indo-1d70522a_marginbottom5 indo-1d70522a_margintop0 indo-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">Sarah opens up about how moving to Dublin helped unlock a new world, how friendships made it feel safe to explore, and why the internet became a lifeline (even when it wasn\u2019t always the safest place to go looking for answers). She talks about the apprehension of opening up to her family, the pressure to be \u2018sure,\u2019 the impact of internalised homophobia, and ultimately the joy of feeling accepted and living openly and honestly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"indo-ebe0ecc6_root indo-ebe0ecc6_paragraph indo-300db776_none indo-91174671_primary indo-1d70522a_marginbottom5 indo-1d70522a_margintop0 indo-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">Just Between Us is the Irish Independent\u2019s sex and relationships podcast hosted by Jennifer Zamparelli.
