Manage episode 331658454 series 2844422
🏃♀️Running away from where it hurt? We all have done that. But walking back towards it? 🚶♀️
Being rejected for who you are takes a toll on a soul. Especially so if the ones rejecting you are the very people you love most - your family, your community. 💔
This happened to Meagan after being outed as a gay woman 👭. One day she is a valued member of the local athletic and Christian community ✝️, on the next her “choices” are condemned as sinful and appalling.
She left Mississippi. 🧭 But after years of seeking a sense of self-worth away from home, Meagan decided that healing could only be done where it all had begun: home.
In this episode, writer and speaker Meagan O’Nan shares her journey towards self-love, reconnecting with her community, and raising a child 👩👩👧 of two moms there. You’ll learn about Meagan’s take on the differences between authenticity and vulnerability and find out why she says: “Speaking vulnerably has changed my life."
