In this deeply personal kick-off to LGBTQIA+ Pride Month episode, Mandi shares her coming out story—from childhood clues and early experiences of attraction to navigating divorce, faith deconstruction, church hurt, and finding love.

Through stories of grief, authenticity, and transformation, Mandi reflects on growing up as a disabled Latina in a culturally Catholic family, the challenges of reconciling faith and sexuality, and the ways God pursued her long before she had language for who she was.

This episode isn't just about coming out. It's about becoming more fully yourself, trusting God's presence through uncertainty, and discovering that authenticity and faith were never meant to be enemies.
