Join me for a heartfelt conversation that explores the journey of self-discovery and deconstruction of beliefs. My guest, Britt Sandoval, shares their transformative experiences, from navigating the challenges of parenting three daughters with a rare genetic disorder to questioning their identity in a heterosexual marriage. As they reflect on their upbringing in a traditional religious setting, they candidly discusses how pivotal moments, including the impact of COVID-19 and societal events, led them to embrace their pansexuality and challenge long-held beliefs. The episode highlights the importance of fostering open conversations about identity within families and the empowering realization that authenticity is key to personal fulfillment. Tune in as we delve into the complexities of identity, love, and the journey toward living authentically in a world full of expectations.

Takeaways:

• The journey of self-discovery often happens later in life than expected.
• Facing significant life challenges can lead to questioning beliefs and values.
• Navigating identity can be complex, especially within traditional family structures.
• Open communication about gender and sexuality is vital in modern parenting.
• Creating safe spaces for authenticity can greatly enhance interpersonal relationships.
• Deconstructing past beliefs doesn't mean discarding them; they can be rebuilt meaningfully.
