The Mountain I Didn't Name [Celebrating Pride 🏳️‍🌈]

Embracing Authenticity: A Journey of Self-Discovery Beyond Religious Guilt

Growing up in a Catholic family while hiding your true identity can feel like living in a carefully constructed cage. In this powerful episode, we dive deep into a transformative journey from shame to self-acceptance. Milo bravely shares his experience of breaking free from toxic relationships and religious constraints to embrace his authentic self as a gay man.

Through raw and honest stories, this episode explores the challenging terrain between survival and truth, revealing that coming out isn't always a celebration - sometimes it's a painful yet necessary step toward freedom. Milo's message resonates beyond the LGBTQ+ community, speaking to anyone who has ever felt broken or "behind" in life.

Whether you're struggling with your identity, wrestling with religious trauma, or simply seeking inspiration for your own journey of authenticity, this episode offers hope and healing. Milo reminds us that we are all worthy of love exactly as we are.
