Ep 18. You're My Little Secret: Coming Out to Family as LGBTQIA+ and Navigating Disapproval
Listen to full episode:
We've all struggled to stand up for ourselves, our love, and our relationships when faced with disapproval from our families. This episode is close to our hearts as we, Moe Ari and Tiffany, share our journey of defying expectations and overcoming family disapproval in our relationship. We discuss the pain of feeling like a secret in our family and how that can lead to a sense of invisibility within relationships. We reflect on the need to protect ourselves, both from potential negativity and from the process of hiding a relationship and offer encouragement to anyone who is struggling with acceptance from their family.
Living authentically and true to ourselves is vital in any relationship, and we delve into the importance of showing who we are, even when faced with disapproval. Understand the power of declaring our identity and intentions to those around us and how it can create space for mutual understanding and respect. We also address how to navigate expectations and patterns that often accompany relationships and the importance of trusting ourselves to make the right choices for our own lives. Join us for this heartfelt and empowering conversation, and discover how you can defy expectations and honor your relationships with strength, courage, and love.
