Message Joey!

Growing up in a conservative city like Edmonton isn't easy when you're trying to find your true self, especially if you're part of the LGBTQ+ community. Jackson joins us to share his inspiring story of self-discovery and resilience. Listen as we travel back to Jackson's first childhood crush at a preschool birthday party and explore the pivotal moment in ninth grade when he decided to come out. Jackson's journey is filled with challenges, but it's also a testament to the power of embracing one's identity even when the surrounding environment isn't always accepting.
The rollercoaster of coming out is filled with personal growth, and Jackson's story is no exception. We reflect on the complexities of navigating high school as one of the few openly gay students and the surprising relief of not facing bullying. Our chat brings back memories of shared experiences like working at McDonald's and the amusing drive-thru mishaps. We also delve into Jackson's heartfelt moment of revelation to his friend Naz, capturing the liberation that comes with living authentically.
As we explore modern dating's digital realm, Jackson brings a humorous yet insightful perspective on online dating, discussing the pros and cons of popular platforms and the diverse LGBTQ+ tribes encountered. From tales of awkward Tinder dates to ranking dating apps, this episode offers a comprehensive guide to online connections. Our conversation concludes with the importance of finding a supportive community and the journey toward self-love, reminding everyone that life improves with time and authenticity. Join us every Wednesday for new episodes as we continue to explore diverse stories and experiences.
