In this episode of Bee Balm Presents, Julia Paganelli Marín talks with author Jane Blunschi about her novella Mon, Dieu, Love, and its exploration of complex queer identities and romantic choices. 


The conversation weaves through the narrative threads of the novella, discussing its portrayal of queer identities and the complexities of love. Julia and Jane talk about how their personal experiences have shaped their journeys of self-acceptance and spirituality, all while highlighting the power of authentic storytelling. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that’s as much about the art of narrative as it is about finding one's true self amidst life's emotional tapestry.
