Ep 79: When Family Doesn’t Understand: Embracing Queer Identity Beyond Cultural Expectations

In this episode of First to Thrive, Nicole is joined by TR Deanon, who shares their journey of self-discovery and acceptance as a non-binary individual within the Filipino community. They discuss the challenges of navigating cultural expectations and the importance of finding support in chosen family. TR’s story serves as a powerful representation for others who may be struggling to embrace their authentic selves.

Listen now to hear and learn all about:

  • How to navigate the struggle of balancing family expectations with personal identity and self-worth.
  • The importance of chosen family and community in our self-healing journeys.
  • How shedding layers of cultural conditioning allows for self-discovery and freedom to thrive.
  • The transformative power of holding onto your truth, even when others don’t understand.
