I can’t wait for you to hear the rest of my conversation with my dear friend Marcos. This time, we get into how Marcos’ life has blossomed since he made the decision to honor his true self, even when that self conflicted with the teachings of his faith. In the second half of our dialog, we discuss what’s happened since Marcos left the LDS church. We’ll learn about the journey toward embracing his full self, how his relationship with faith and spirituality has changed, and the lessons he’d share with his younger self if he could. It’s a moving story that you’re sure to find inspiring.

Our conversation was too important to cut short, and too big for just one episode. If you haven’t already, check out the first half of our discussion at https://leaving-in-color.captivate.fm/episode/finding-truth-in-yourself
