Season 4 Episode 3: “Coming Out” with Olivia Meeks

Update: 2021-05-31

Description

On this episode, we are bursting into pride month with a conversation about coming out. That journey of moments in the lives of LGBTQIA+ individuals where we come into our true selves in our own way and with our own story. Each coming out journey is very different. Some are filled with joy and acceptance, others are unfortunately terrifying and confusing. Thankfully we have our resident therapist to kick us off with some affirming and protecting info to remind us that while coming out is wonderful and important, the MOST important thing to do is take care of and be yourself in your own way!

We are lucky to have Olivia Meeks with us to share her coming out journey. Olivia is a writer, teacher, and a content creator who centers her work around helping everyone feel a little more confident around coming out. She is not only helping those who are trying to find their way out or those who are there and facing new challenges, she is also graciously teaching LGBTQIA+ allies how to give their support in the strongest and kindest way possible.

Olivia shares her coming out from the first person she told all the way to today as she navigates a world that is still working to understand and accept her. In each moment of her journey, she has faced the world with kindness, patience, and doing what she can to take care of herself. Everything she shares will inspire you in so many ways! In this conversation and beyond, she is providing advice, support, and so much love.

Be sure to tune into the end where you get to hear a little bit of how Liv helped me on my own coming out journey. I am so grateful to have her as a friend who I got to share this moment with. And I am so grateful to share this conversation with all of you.
