This episode pushes the envelope and opens the door to a conversation that’s long overdue: Sexuality and Religion.

For so many of us who love God but live outside the heterosexual norm, finding a safe space—spiritually and emotionally—can feel nearly impossible. We've been told we don't belong, asked to shrink ourselves, or forced to choose between our faith and our identity.

This episode is the beginning of something different. A space where honesty lives. A space where questions are welcome. A space that holds both reverence and realness.

In Part One of this two-part series, we begin peeling back the layers of fear, silence, and shame to talk about what it means to be queer and believe, to hold onto faith even when the community of believers haven't always held us.

This isn’t just a conversation—it’s an invitation to be sacred and seen.

Let’s begin.

Somewhere along the way, we were told to grow up—to put away the playful, imaginative things that made us feel brave, joyful, and free. But what if the parts of us that loved pretend adventures, imaginary friends, and childlike wonder are still holding keys to our courage and confidence today?

In this episode, we’re revisiting the beauty of the youthful things that shaped us—the innocent moments that required little thought and gave us so much life. From building forts and pretending to move to new worlds, to having imaginary friends who made us feel understood, these experiences mattered.

I’ll share my own story about my childhood friend named Charlie—and why reclaiming the magic of that friendship still inspires me to this day.

Because growing up doesn’t mean we have to abandon the wonder that made us who we are. Sometimes, going back is exactly how we remember how to move forward.

Let’s talk about it.

Grief has no timeline—and healing doesn’t happen by accident. In this episode, we dive into the raw, necessary, and often uncomfortable process of doing the hard work after losing a loved one.

We talk about what it means to feel your way through the pain instead of avoiding it, and how healing requires intentional effort—whether that’s therapy, prayer, journaling, or just allowing yourself to break down without shame.

Loss changes you. But in the deep work of grieving, there’s also room to rebuild—slowly, honestly, and on your own terms.

This episode is for anyone walking through the fog of loss, learning to breathe again, and choosing to show up for the healing, even when it hurts.

You're not alone—and healing is possible. Let’s talk about it.
