We are all on our own journeys. Some of us blessed beyond measure to be traveling beside the most badass humans on this planet. Others haven’t quite found their tribe yet, and that’s okay, YOU WILL. Tribes also evolve over time and sometimes change completely. Ride the wave. You are exactly where you are meant to be.
In this episode, Staci and Melissa discuss their own experiences growing up queer in a small town. From representation to lesbian culture to self discovery. They find light and humor in some of the darkest places of their past.
Anyone that may be struggling or feel like they just don’t belong, know that you are not alone and YOU ARE HERE ON PURPOSE! All of our stories look different. We just need to meet each other with love and kindness and do our part in dissolving the stigmas and prejudices that surround us.
Sending you all the LOVE you need and then some to spread around!
