Breaking Free: A Journey from Restriction to Authenticity

We're getting real personal to kick off our first episode. We're talking about authenticity, about being true to yourself, even when the world around you doesn't make it easy. We're sharing our story, mine and Nancy's, about how we found our way out of a restrictive religious community and into a world where we could finally be ourselves. It's a journey of resilience, questioning, and courage, and I can't wait for you to hear it.
