TW: Childhood Sexual abuse, drug use, suicidal ideation, mental health challenges and accusations of sexual assault.

He spent much of his childhood and adolescence questioning his sexual identity and so did those around him, carrying the reason why deep beneath the surface. In this episode, our guest opens up about finding the courage to speak his truth and release the heavy burden he had carried for so long. He also reflects on the devastating experience of being charged with a crime he did not commit. This is a powerful journey through sadness, confusion, anguish, isolation, and fear—ultimately leading to resilience, recovery, and hope.
