When your faith tells you your identity is a sin—where do you turn? In this deeply human conversation, Sean Hemeon shares what it was like to grow up gay in the Mormon Church, find temporary relief in alcohol, and eventually reclaim his spirituality, creativity, and SELF.

We talk about:

• Growing up gay in the Mormon Church and the shame that shaped his early years

• How alcohol became both a mask and a form of relief

• Losing faith—and finding a deeper spirituality beyond religion

• Sobriety and self-acceptance as acts of radical love

• What it means to be a sober actor in Hollywood

• Why creativity without substances is the truest expression of the SELF

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt “different,” hidden behind a mask, or searched for belonging in all the wrong places.
