It’s So Hard is the podcast about life in and around the Ȿ ₃ * industry. Listen in as we unpack the news and politics affecting Ȿ:/ 𝒲₃ᵣs and the people around us.
I’m Tess Lyrez, a Western Australia–based and touring Ȿ:/ 𝒲₃ᵣ. In 2020, I launched It’s So Hard podcast with Jenn Brown, a social worker and my childhood friend.
In 2024, Jenn sadly took a step back from the platform. But I’ve kept the mic on, and guests continue to share insights into Ȿ:/ 𝒲 and its intersections.
I initially co-founded It’s So Hard for visibility. Due to the online surveillance of Ȿ:/ 𝒲₃ᵣs, I was concerned that my ads and social media accounts could be deplatformed at any time.
On record, industry guests and I worked to demystify Ȿ:/ 𝒲, while Jenn openly shared her mental health journey and research into social inclusion. Over time, It’s So Hard evolved into a platform for political discourse.
Thank you, Jenn, for turning this concept into a reality with me. And many thanks to the Ȿ:/ 𝒲₃ᵣs, guests, and listeners who continue to collaborate on this project, both on record and behind-the-scenes.
All opinions are our own; we don’t represent broader communities. It’s So Hard podcast is an independent platform. This podcast contains €xpł!₵it descriptions.
Softer Media platforms and promotes long-form discussions about Ȿ:/ 𝒲 and its intersections.
