In this episode of Joyously Free!, Joanie Lindenmeyer talks with interior designer Daniel Perry about living authentically as a gay, spiritual man. Daniel recounts sensing his sexuality in sixth grade, delaying labels until after high school, and even marrying a woman under social pressure and limited resources. A turning point came when Joanie’s partner, Carol, asked why he couldn’t be both gay and spiritual. He views three decade-long relationships as meaningful lessons, describes leaving tech to pursue design, and stresses that lasting fulfillment comes from giving back.
