Growing up, Ryan Makely-Phillips always knew he was different but it wasn't until he was about 13 or 14 that he could identify what that meant. As a gay son in an Italian Catholic family from Long Island, Ryan struggled to find his identity and never felt like he measured up to his family's expectations. In this episode we hear how Ryan "found his people," how he pursued his passion in music and theater and how he fell in love with fitness. We also learn about Ryan's struggle as a COVID-19 long hauler and how his physical and mental health have been affected over the last year. @makelymagic
