What does Pride really look like when survival, rest, and self-protection come first?

If you’ve ever felt pressure to fully embrace your LGBTQ identity before you felt safe or ready, this episode is for you. In this reflective follow-up, Stef slows things down to revisit a deeply human conversation and share what it truly taught us about identity, Pride, and resilience. This isn’t about perfection or performance, it’s about honoring where you are right now on your journey.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. Why embracing your LGBTQ identity with Pride can be an act of survival, not just self-expression
2. How representation and chosen family shape identity, healing, and hope
3. How your lived experiences can become tools for growth, meaning, and change

Ready to embrace your LGBTQ identity with Pride in a way that feels honest, safe, and sustainable? This episode will remind you that moving forward doesn’t have to be rushed, it just has to be true to you.

New episodes every Monday and Thursday morning, Eastern Time (ET).
