Early access & extras

Hello fellow romantics, I hope you are doing and feeling well. It’s been a sad week here in Belgium with the flooding killing many. It was a stark reminder of nature’s power and the need to act urgently to slow down climate change. I am grateful I was able to work on this episode in […]

Hello friends, How are you doing today? It’s been stormy here with lots of rain. I guess it just makes it easier to submerge myself in Raven and Nathalie’s story. 😉 Love, Sigrid UPDATE: Added some extra excerpt! Raven stared at the tiny flowers in Nathalie’s garden. Drops of rain still glistened on the petals. […]

Hello, fellow romantics! Spotted the link in the newsletter, huh? Hooray! By the way, I will add some more excerpt on Wednesday so don’t forget to come back. UPDATE: Updated the post so everyone can see it and added some extra excerpt! ANOTHER UPDATE: Some more excerpt available! Love, Sigrid Nathalie reached for her neck. […]

Hello, fellow romantic! It’s officially summer now! 🙂 I hope you can enjoy the season this year. To the fellow romantics in the Southern hemisphere: I hope you are having a good winter. I get to share a written, extra scene with you today. I was able to work on it thanks to the recurring […]

Hello, fellow romantics I’m so excited because today I get to share the first extra scene that was specifically funded by you, my recurring supporters on this website and Patreon. You voted to revisit El and Louise this time! (There will soon be a poll up for the next extra scene.) Here’s my heartfelt thank […]

Hello, How are you doing today? I just started writing the first script of the new story. I thought we could also use some extra moments with Lex and Mary, though! Ready to get dress up and join them at a party? 😉 💜 Sigrid   “Damn, I really hate wearing dresses,” Mary muttered, pulling […]

Hello, my friend, The Lesbian Romantic is about romance all year long and I wanted to do something different on this Valentine’s Day. Today, I want to celebrate a different kind of love: friendship. We’re joining Lucile and Christine for coffee today. Grab something to drink and enjoy the read! Big hug, Sigrid   Lucile […]

Day 1: Hannah   Hannah pulled the small box out of her pocket. Her eyes flicked to the door. She locked it before sitting down on the toilet lid. It was a bit silly to hide in here, she knew. Milly wasn’t home after all. Her mother was, though, and she often followed Hannah around […]

Ho ho ho! It has a become a bit of a tradition to release an extra scene for the holidays. The last 2 were Christmas dreams so I decided to do another one this year. I guess this has also become part of the tradition. 😉 Releasing it a few days early here for all […]

Hey! I started writing this scene last year but got too busy to release it. This morning, I decided to have some fun and finally finish it. Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 Sigrid   A loud honk rattled the windows of Milly’s car. Her eyes widened and she looked for the source of all this noise […]

Hello hello, Hope you enjoy this small Easter gift 🙂 After seeing a young mezzo sing beautifully last night, I just had to pay Milly a visit this morning. Make sure to eat lots of chocolate today! Sigrid     “Honey, I need to talk to you about something,” Milly said. Hannah looked up from […]

Hi there! As I was editing this morning, I decided to do a little extra today 🙂 I’m taking you into the editing process and showing you one of the things I enjoy doing the most. Now, don’t share this with other podcasters. *wink wink* This is my secret ingredient to making this podcast very […]

Ok, this is something I’ve been wanting to try for a while now. I just re-listened to the episode I published here yesterday… and added some commentary. It’s just me talking, not performing, and it’s kinda refreshing to address y’all as if we’re just having coffee together. 🙂 So, for all you re-listeners out there, […]

Hey fellow romantics, We’ve had a rough week and it was wonderful to sit down in my home office and answer your fun questions! Thank you for sending those in! 🙂 Hope you enjoy listening to this 11th ‘very real’ (and a bit raw at times) Q&A. Love, Muriel & Sigrid PS: This is the […]

Hello everyone, It’s Q&A time! Thank you so much for all your fun questions for this Q&A! Our weeks have been very chaotic and the recording of this Q&A was not any different. 😉 Apologies to Sherlock & Watson: we forgot to answer a question again… It was Gertrude’s fault! A big thank you to […]

Hi, It was high time for a sitdown in the library with our makeshift studio. Our minds might not have been all that sharp in 32C, but we really enjoyed answering your questions! Hope you enjoy! Sigrid & Muriel Accessibility Link

Hello hello! You sent in some awesome questions and we had a lot of fun answering them. Hope you enjoy the 7th Fellow Romantic Podcast. Lots of 💜 Sigrid & Muriel Accessibility Link

Hello hello! Muriel and I set up shop in a new location for this extra podcast. Why? I’ll explain in the Q&A. 😉 Here’s what our improvised studio looked like!

Hello, It’s time for the fifth Fellow Romantic Podcast! We have 3 awesome voicemails from fellow romantics and 7 questions to answer! Grab some coffee, tea, beer or wine and join Muriel and me in the pillow fort. 🙂 Some of the questions in this Q&A:   “It’s been a while since you’ve had to […]

Hey everyone, After a bit of a delay (ahem), we finally found our way back into the pillow fort together! Hope you enjoy this community podcast with the 4th Q&A! Sigrid & Muriel PS: Want to leave a voicemail to say hi or ask a question? You can do that here. 

Helllooo, Wowza, we had a lot of fun questions this time! Join us and have a glass of wine while listening! Warning: we might have had a little bit too much while we recorded. Careful with the volume: lots of loud laughter and more… Hope you enjoy this 3rd Q&A!  I’m going to click publish […]

Hey there! On Saturday morning, Muriel and I usually sip coffee on the couch and have a chat. This week, we moved the coffee and our discussion to the pillow fort. Inspired by your questions, Muriel and I talked about the podcast, the new story, storytelling and writing. We might have gotten a bit too […]

Every single contribution […]

Hey everyone, A quick video update about why the next episode has a delay… Sorry for the unexpected delay and thank you for your patience! Love, Sigrid

Mostly saying ‘hi!’ but also have a small scheduling update. And testing the new sound again. What do you think? 🙂

Hello, fellow romantics, When I started The Lesbian Romantic almost 5 years ago, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted it to sound like. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the equipment or knowledge to create that sound. In the last 5 years, I basically bootstrapped my podcast. I made it work as best […]

Hey, fellow romantic, I have some important news: I am launching a Patreon fundraising page. That means there are now several ways you can support my work: directly on this website (the old way) or through Patreon. Or both. 🙂 I know: I’ve been saying I don’t want to join other platforms, such as Patreon, […]

I’m leaving Twitter, Facebook and Instagram today. I want to explain why without writing a long rant. 😉 Here I go… *draws in deep breath* I believe social media platforms are destroying everything that brings out the best in us: empathy, human connection and the ability to see things in context. I believe the corporations […]

A wonderful email I received tonight made me realize it really was time to post a vlog update! Check out the other Shitty Stuff PS: I’d love to send you a postcard!

Hello! I ended my last post with (among other things): I want to contribute to a world in which people feel less alone. It took me quite a few days to realize the irony of my statement. The thing is: I have felt alone myself way too many times in these last years. I want […]

Hello, my dear friends. Opening a post to start writing here feels a bit like opening a diary now! Today, I want to reflect on the meaning of my work. Defining what my work is about has been a frustrating experience for me these last 4 years. I felt like I had to be able […]

I was lying awake last night and kept thinking about this paragraph I wrote yesterday. The second reason is that I think I had become too dependent (financially). Being so extremely invested in one thing made it hard for me to separate what I wanted to do from what I thought my audience wanted me […]

I always knew going back to consultancy work wasn’t going to be easy. I thought I’d still find a way to cope, though. And I sort of did. But I find myself no longer willing to contribute to things I believe are doing great harm. Things like throwing money at Facebook, or Twitter. The irony […]

Correction! About 2.5% of listeners gives back. I said 1% out of habit because that was the number for a long time.

Okay, I need a nap now!
