My friend Tali comes on the pod to tell her story about growing up in the LDS church, realizing she was queer, reconciling being her true authentic self with her love for her church and her community, and falling in love with one of her very best friends, Bella. Tali and Bella have found joy in some dark places and are a testament to the fact that even in the worst of circumstances, life can be so sweet with your best friend by your side.

I've dreamed of this podcast being a safe space to hold stories that feel hard to talk about with loved ones, and I'm so grateful to Tali for being willing to share this part of her life!
