In the eleventh episode of "10 Years Out: Stories from My Queer Community," host Sam Fagan welcomes Nancy Shadlock, a queer woman. Join Sam and Nancy as they delve into the multifaceted aspects of Nancy's life, from growing up as a missionary kid to finding her true identity later in life.

Nancy opens up about her experience of coming out at the age of 33, a pivotal moment that led her to embrace her authentic self. As a spiritual director, she realized that in order to help others, she needed to live her truth unapologetically. Through her podcast, the "Coming Out Chronicles," Nancy aims to foster empathy and understanding by sharing diverse coming out stories, recognizing that the process of coming out extends beyond the LGBTQ+ community and resonates with various life changes.

Together, Sam and Nancy explore the concept of coming out as a universal process of growth, encompassing everything from personal transformations to major life decisions. They discuss how living authentically allows individuals to challenge societal norms and embrace alternative ways of being, thinking, and loving. Nancy shares her vision of a commune, a place where chosen family ("framily") can come together and support one another in a queer-friendly environment, breaking away from the confines of heteronormativity.

The conversation delves into the unique dynamics and intricacies of queer relationships, highlighting the ways they differ from traditional societal expectations. By defying norms and embracing their own truths, Sam and Nancy exemplify the power of living authentically and inspire listeners to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery.
