Episode 21

Connor Shares His Story - Part One

Heather's son Connor has returned to the mic for a three-part series! In this episode, he shares the first part of his story with humor, vulnerability, and the ability to recount what happened then, why, and what he has learned since. Heather and Connor experimented with a new format in this episode which allowed Connor to share his thoughts and reflections with Heather responding toward the end of the episode.

Connor shares:

  • Who he was and how he felt in the years before he came out
  • How he came out to friends and family and what it felt like
  • What it felt like the first few months and the different struggles he encountered

**TRIGGER WARNING - Connor shares his suicide attempt, so please do not listen if this is a trigger in any way for you**
