Building your family

Former Secret Service agent protects the Pope but struggles to become a gay dad


Listen Later

Join us for an inspiring and heartfelt episode as we dive into the extraordinary life of Corey Allen, a former Secret Service agent who has protected everyone from the Obamas to the Pope. Corey’s journey is one of self-discovery, surrogacy, donor conception, gay marriage, and above all, love.

In his newly released memoir, Breaking Free: A Saga of Self-Discovery by a Gay Secret Service Agent, Corey shares the challenges he faced as a gay man in a traditionally heterosexual and masculine profession. Despite these obstacles, he rose to the top of his field, all while maintaining the sensitivity and care that define him as a husband and father.

Corey’s story is a powerful testament to resilience, love, and the courage to be true to oneself. Tune in to be moved, inspired, and reminded of the strength it takes to break free and build the life you truly want.
