EPISODE 22 - Part TWO

Update: Jillian's book is out! 

Perfectly Queer: Facing Big Fears, Living Hard Truths, and Loving Myself Fully Out of the Closet

This humorous, heartwarming memoir follows a wife and mother's journey of self-discovery and acceptance as she comes out as a lesbian in her late 30s.

Jill had a happy, healthy 20-year relationship with her college sweetheart, two wonderful kids, and rescue cat from the Humane Society. They lived in a nice suburban home with a white picket fence and owned a small bar that was rated one of the “Best Mom & Pop” businesses in Tampa Bay. From the outside, everything looked perfect.

This is a story for anyone who is hiding a piece of themselves and wants to know if it’s safe to be revealed. It’s for the parent who must choose between their own happiness and the stability of their family, wondering if prioritizing themselves is selfish. It’s for the person potentially facing a major life upheaval filled with unknowns in the future who is seeking reassurance that everything will work out just fine.

A two part podcast interview with Jillian Abby aka QueerAbby.com - Jill shares her story with us as she helps to humanize the struggle within the LGBTQIA2S Community for recognition, acceptance and equality.

 People can contact me with questions or for bat mitzvah appearances at [email protected]. I would love if they’d sign up for my newsletter (that I’ve never sent) at QueerAbby.com.

Jill is launching her own podcast called “In the Q” in July with Dr. Treisha Peterson (Mama phD) where we discuss that messy middle transition space for the LGBTQ+ and those who love them (but maybe don’t always know how to support them).
