'I was straight when I met my girlfriend' with Riley Armitage

About this episode

Riley Armitage discusses her relationship with Tessa, her coming out experience, and her journey in content creation.

Hello! Today I’m joined by Riley Armitage. Riley is a Melbourne-based content creator known for her daily vlogs and, more recently, sharing glimpses of her relationship with her girlfriend, Tessa. In this conversation, Riley speaks candidly about love, her relationship with Tessa, her experience coming out to her mum, and how her understanding of relationships and identity has changed over time. She also reflects on her upbringing and family dynamics, including her close relationship with her sister, Izzy Armitage. Riley also opens up about the mindset that influenced her confidence and helped her make the decision to quit her corporate job to do content full-time.
