'A story so relevant and real, it has been hailed refreshingly beautiful.'

In this episode, we interview a Special guest, Zac Hodge. We interviewed Zac last year where he shared his story with us, expressing his identity crisis, steps he took to confront his crisis and strategies that helped him through his journey. He also introduced his book, 'Come Undone', which has now been published and released under the pen name Xavier James.

In this episode we discuss with Zac, individuality, what it means to him, the influence of social media, the barriers to expressing yourself and strategies to express your individuality. This topic is a prominent theme in his book, expressed through his true story of delicately revealing the boy that he was forced to bury.

Zac’s book is raw and raunchy, provides insights into sexuality uncertainty, parental divorce, mental health battles, religious freedom, marriage equality, coming of age, sexual assault, and young love that is forbidden to shine. All must be navigated to unlearn who he was taught to be, and embark on the terrifying journey to discover who he authentically is.

The book is available at comeundonebook.com, the ebook available via Amazon Kindle, where it hit #1 on the LGTB Memoir Chart and you can learn more about it via his Instagram page @comeundone.book.
