June 29, 2023Unconscious Bias
Unconscious bias refers to the internal biases or attitudes that influence our interactions and behaviour towards others.
We all have these deeply ingrained biases that unfortunately can hinder our efforts to build a more diverse and inclusive community.
In today's episode, we are sharing our experience with Unconscious Bias in hopes that it will help contribute to embracing greater acceptance and belonging. Some of the questions we'll be unpacking:
What are some unconscious biases you currently have or have had in the past? Where did they come from?
How do you discern between preferences and prejudices?
How can we become aware of these biases and change them to be more inclusive?
By acknowledging unconscious bias and working to mitigate its impact, we can celebrate a more inclusive queer community that values the diverse experiences of all individuals.

May 18, 2023Healing Shame
Shame is that terrible feeling that arises when you get the sense that something is fundamentally wrong about you. It is often accompanied by inadequacy and self-doubt. Shame convinces you that you are not enough.
Like it or not, shame plays a key role in the gay man’s life. Born into a straight world, we must contend with the fact that we are different. While we all have a unique way of dealing with shame, healing it is necessary if we want to develop an authentic sense of self and truly connect in our most intimate relationships.
We’ll be exploring 3 key questions:
How shame affect us as gay men, specifically
How do we identify shame
What are some ways we can start healing shame?

May 11, 2023External and Internal Validation (Part 2)
Having a healthy sense of self-worth means balancing both external and internal validation.
In part 2 of the two-part series, we are focusing on internal validation, the skill of fuelling your self-worth from within you, rather than seeking it through external sources.
Developing your sense of worthiness from within you is fundamental to living authentically as you become less attached to the opinions of others, and more focused on living in integrity with your personal core values.
This episode covers topics such as:
What gets in the way of feeling internally validated?
How exactly do you do it?
What does your self-worth come from?
What makes you feel valued?
Join us for this discussion that will help you start feeling more worthy right here and now.
