In the third episode of "10 Years Out: Stories from My Queer Community," your host Sam Fagan welcomes Stacey Chomiak, a queer woman. Together, they delve into the personal journeys that led them to trust themselves and embrace the goodness in their identities.
Sam and Stacey open up about their experiences within the evangelical church, discussing the challenges they faced while navigating the expectations and pressures placed upon them by a rigid religious environment. As they recount their respective paths to self-acceptance, they explore the importance of finding belief in their own inherent goodness.
During the conversation, Stacey reflects on her transformative journey as an author, sharing insights from her book, "Still Stace." She discusses how writing became a powerful tool for her to hear and trust her own voice, ultimately leading her to a place of authenticity and self-assurance. Stacey's story serves as an inspiration for others who are seeking their own voices and discovering the strength to overcome the limitations imposed by external influences.
Join Sam and Stacey as they navigate the complex intersection of faith, sexuality, and personal growth. Through their candid and heartfelt conversation, listeners will gain valuable insights into the importance of embracing one's own truth, learning to trust oneself, and finding solace within a supportive community.
