About this Episode

In this episode Britt East, Author of: A Gay Man’s Guide to Life shares how the actions of a former romantic partner lead to his own self-discovery, self-acceptance, and self-love. When your authentic self is something that is deemed unacceptable to even your closest family it becomes critical to own your truth. Britt talks about the well build walls he constructed to shelter himself from the hate of the outside world. Finally, through the help of a 12-step program Britt discovered that those walls were his alone to dismantle and that he must take action in doing so if he wanted to step into his full potential.

About this Episode

How do you become truly Inclusive? In this episode we discuss our own personal struggle with how what others identify as seem to challenge how we identify. While we agree that we shouldn’t feel threatened or challenged the fact remains that true feeling surface when our personal ‘norms’ are challenged. Gender norms and standard language is so deeply ingrained in how we interact with others. Our guest Jen O’Ryan, author of Inclusive AF shares how she became an accidental expert and is now a fierce advocate for LGBTQIA+ inclusion. We talk about some key areas where many hold unconscious bias and how we can personally work to dismantle our own bias to become more inclusive in everyday interactions.
