InseQueer: The Podcast

For some reason I wanted to share "The Mask" by Dr. Maya Angelou which she penned in response to Paul Laurence Dunbar’s we wear the mask. I don't remember it having a huge place in this episode, but I have been talking a great deal about removing masks and telling my truth which is what I hope Season 4 will allow. Either way, I am continuing to unpack my way to peace. This one didn't have tears, I promise. Anyway,  Dr. Angelou's poem can be seen here. 

I am grieving and I am growing. I am okay.

Dear God,

I know you have given me the ability to be vulnerable and the gift for wanting to share my story and most authentically my truth.  I am so grateful for this season in my life God. I have to thank you. I am so grateful that you’ve ordered my steps to a therapist that I trust. To not just talking about being a vulnerable person but actually being vulnerable.

Thank you for this project as it has become my therapy and my salvation. I’m grateful for what is in season 4 of InseQueer: The Podcast. I know I need this space. My own safe space. A place where I can be me authentically. I won’t run from my nudge this time. Thanks Oprah. 

***To my listeners, I am trusting myself to know that my story is to connect us with  a safe space to lean into honesty, vulnerability and authenticity.      

My voice. My vulnerability. My vessel.

I found out I was bipolar about two months ago and well these are just my thoughts on my diagnosis.

It felt beyond freeing to record a more streamlined and honest episode. I only edited one tangent out and removed about 8-10 mins of a poignant but not succinct attempt at trying to also observe Dr. King, I’ve spent a day researching him for another assignment and accidentally got invigorated to want to revisit him, I also accidentally got inspired too, I’m grateful...This episode was also inspired by Brené Brown’s recent conversation with Oprah on Super Soul Podcast. The conversation centered on Brené’s book,  Atlas of the heart.  She talks about the power of choosing the word that BEST describes what you’re feeling. This unlocked some new things for me, please take a listen and I’d love to hear what you think in however you choose to share with me. I personally appreciate comments, reviews, DMs and for some of you, text me!

In this episode, Chloe offers a disclaimer on something mentioned in the episode pre the heinous shootings that occurred in Atlanta. Chloe stands against #AAPI hate. Stop Asian Hate. Stop POC hate. Stop Brown Hate. Stop Black hate, Stop. Hate. 

Chloe's depression came to the microphone and spoke directly about Chloe's #insequeerity around life starting over "post covid".  Please know that while this episode is honest, vulnerable, and at times heartbreaking, Chloe is in therapy and is happily navigating these very conversations with a trained professional.  

If you are looking for a therapist please see options that Chloe endorses:
