Welcome to the season 3 premiere of On the Cusp of Something Beautiful!
For this very special episode, I'm joined by Minister Lauren E. Boone of Lovewell Ministries and singer-songwriter and creative, Tim Victor. In honor of Pride month, I couldn't think of two people I wanted to be in conversation with more around embracing our whole authentic selves as it pertains to our sexuality and our spiritual practice.
More than that, the intention of this conversation is to also encourage you to both embrace and transcend your sexual identity as a way of coming into wholeness with your humanity. Not just your sexuality.
In this very candid conversation we discuss:
- What Pride means to us
- How we've navigated embracing our sexualities
- Giving ourselves and others space to process these parts of ourselves
- Creating space to be seen and heard
- The importance of being vulnerable
-
Cultivating self-acceptance and confidence, and so much more!!
You can connect with Tim and Lauren on Instagram at @MrTimVictor and @ItsLaurenEliz / @Lovewellmin.
