About this listen

What happens when religion collides with shame, addiction, and redemption? In this episode, Manny Rodriguez sits down with actor, artist and author Sean Hemeon, who grew up gay in a Mormon household and was asked by his mother if he had AIDS when he came out to her. Sean spiraled into drug addiction and federal trafficking. He shares his journey from the depths of addiction to sobriety, his unlikely role working with the feds, the powerful healing of his relationship with his mother and his thriving life. This conversation explores LGBTQ+ identity, addiction recovery, family reconciliation, and the resilience of the human spirit.
