The Gay Podcast for Everyone
When I came out to my family, I was essentially asking them to come on this new journey with me. They were now the family of an LGBTQ+ person, and it was new to all of us.
In this podcast, I chat with parents who chose unconditional love over fear and whose supportive conversations are helping to keep the closet door open. I also chat with folx in my LGBTQ+ community, who share their stories so that parents, families, and friends can listen in and understand the journey more.
You don't have to understand the journey to choose unconditional love, and unconditional love doesn't mean you don't have questions, concerns, or fears. It just means we have to help each other through that conversation. Let's talk about it!

37. Tapping into the secrets of using our voice (loud and proud!) with Pam Covarrubias, host of the Café con Pam podcast
My guest today is Pam Covarrubias (host of Café con Pam podcast). She is a business coach, podcaster, and speaker, and she introduced a concept called Calladita Culture. Calladita Culture is based on a cultural expression in the Latino culture: "Calladita te ves más bonita" (you're prettier when you're quiet)
In this episode, we'll dive into what that expression means and its impact on sharing our voice. Although this is rooted in Latine culture, this is something that so many of us have grown up with - learning to be polite and quiet and not make waves. But sometimes living out and proud or being a proud allly means you're gonna make waves, and learning to be comfortable in that isn't easy when you've been taught the opposite.
Pam joins me on the podcast today to break down the term Calladita Culture as it relates to sharing our voice and to share some insight on the inner work we can do to break the cycles (and the narratives) we've carried throughout our lives.
