Nexus of Narratives
Nexus of Narratives models healthy ways to have vulnerable conversations with people of different belief systems as a mechanism to bring togetherness in a world that is feeling so deeply divided. We share stories of everyday people who have faced an obstacle in their life that forced them to face their beliefs about themselves, and/or the systems, people, and communities around them. This will be a safe space to have conversations about how messy life is while demonstrating how resilient we are as people. The Nexus of Narratives is what we will uncover through this story exploration; it is the common thread that exists between all of us when we uncover what it means to be deeply complex humans seeking belonging in a chaotic world.

In this episode, Sabene and I dig deep into the importance of living an authentic life and the prices she has paid my living inauthentically. We explore how she navigated a world that has been unkind to people who share her identity and what it took for her to still choose authenticity over hiding who she is.
CW: While Sabene covers topics that may be difficult for some to listen to, she does so with tremendous grace. Her story includes discussion on gender dysphoria and anti-gay/trans themes that have impacted the cultural narratives toward the LGBTQ+ community.
