  • How can each of us lead greater impact for good with our resources, access, and privilege? This is the question Miles Palacios and I get curious about in this episode.

    We also dive into:

    The importance of investing in youth and amplifying their voices and lived experiences.Why do we do what we do?Does injustice have to be personal to change?How self-leadership is self-care.Reframing open door policy to an empty office policyAnd the importance of questioning the self.

  • In May of 2016, I graduated from Fresno State as a curious and nervous newly out gay man.

    7 years later, on Saturday, May 20th, 2023 I led the keynote address at Fresno State’s 10th Annual Rainbow Graduation as a confident queer human who has so much freaking love for the LGBTQIA+ community and belief in all that is possible for them in their lifetime.

    It was a dream come true to share my story and an important message about authenticity with nearly 200 undergrad and graduate LGBTQIA+ students, parents, families, professors, university leaders, city officials, and community members.

    I am so excited for you to experience this true full circle moment in this episode!

  • Last December, I experienced the deepest depression of my life. In this solo episode, I share the small, slow, and challenging steps I took to move through sadness, anxiety, and apathy into hope, joy, and excitement for life again.

    Today, 4 months later, I now know, I was experiencing the death of an older version of myself. I was shedding beliefs, ways of thinking and being, and opinions that no longer served me to create space in my life for my highest potential and more love and abundance.

    In our lifetime, we experience many cycles of life, death, and rebirth, just like a flower does through the seasons. This is a normal part of growing into the most authentic and expressed version of yourself.

    I talk about this topic because I really wish someone told me everything I express in this episode. It would have helped me move through one of the darkest moments in my life more easefully.

  • This episode is with my college mentor, my amazing friend, and educator Mellissa Jessen-Hiser. We met when I was 19 at Fresno State, 11 years ago. We have a conversation about the power we each have to create affirming, nonjudgmental, and inclusive spaces wherever we go, especially for our youth. We also talk about the process of breaking the mold you were never meant to fit in and stepping into the freedom of who you truly are.

    Other topics we dive into are:

    The difference between listening to understand versus hearing to convinceWhat the both/and life is and how to live into it to access more freedom and authenticity Significant self-acceptance moments in our livesThe fat liberation movement

    Mellissa Jessen-Hiser has long been a storyteller, having written her first poem in a Hello Kitty diary in 1988. She earned an MFA in creative writing from Fresno State in 2020 where she focused on essaying about the things we inherit and the things we pass on.

  • Today, my friend Mark Fields and I have a very important and vulnerable conversation about pain, something we all experience in life. We talk about the understanding, resilience, freedom, and peace on the other side of pain if we choose to do the hard and intentional work of becoming aware of it, accepting it, and healing from it.

    We discuss the choice we have to heal from our childhood and adulthood pain, and to transform it into self-acceptance and love instead of transmitting it and hurting those we love.

    We also dive into how to break the cycle of toxic masculinity in our family and how Mark intentionally chooses to be a parent through the lens of unconditional love.

    Mark’s life mission is to remind the world that we are really family and God is much bigger than we've been told in most American Churches. He has been a part of Christian Community Development Association organizations, Latino church-plants, Black megachurches, White megachurches, Parachurch ministries as well as foreign and domestic missions organizations. He realized that there are many harmful understandings of God being communicated in the world. Many of the places people are going to encounter the peace and acceptance of God have become hallmarks of rejection, discrimination, and exile.

    Mark started The Kinship Collective to be a part of reminding the world that God is good, we are good and anything that doesn’t feel or point to that image-of-God-goodness is simply missing the point. He believes when we are oriented by these truths, we can experience the world as family in ways we’ve always wanted and needed.

    Mark also enjoys speaking, success coaching, and DEI consulting. He has journeyed with his partner Caryn for 15 years, and they have 3 incredible daughters.

  • Today, I have a conversation with my friend Matt Corker about living unapologetically yourself in all areas of your life.

    Matt opens up about his experience being a gay father and husband and how he had to become the queer role model and representation he needed to create a life he really wanted. He shares how he found the man of his dreams by following the 5 date rule for one whole year. We also talk about how vital it is to create healthy family boundaries with heterosexual family members if we want to living full expressed and free.

    Matt and I both have a deep calling to mentor the next generation of LGBQTIA+ humans and create a new future that truly benefits marginalized communities and all of humanity. We discuss the intentional steps we are taking to do this and how you can be a part of this movement with us.

    Matt is a proud gay dad to his precious 2-year old Sasha with the love of his life Chad, his husband of 5 years. He’s an inspiring coach and is passionate about helping organizations succeed by developing vision-led leaders.

  • The theme of this episode is gratitude. I've been really going through it lately and find myself being stuck in worry many times a day. I realize that worry doesn't serve my highest potential and the big goals and dreams I have for myself. In this episode, I make a commitment to let go of worry and welcome in more gratitude and trust in my life. I reflect back on a time when I really wanted what I now have. I talk about a huge dream of mine that is now my reality. Sometimes when I am in go, go, go mode, I am not present to the amazing things I have right in front of me. I hope this episode helps you become present to the incredible things you've created for yourself in your life and grounds you in gratitude.

  • People-pleasing is feeling overly concerned with pleasing others and earning their approval as a way to maintain relationships. It’s prioritizing others' reactions of what you do and say, and how you show up. It’s doing things because you fear rejection or want the approval of others in order to feel like you’re enough.

    Being a concerned and caring person is an important part of maintaining healthy relationships with loved ones. I believe the challenge arises when you are pursuing the happiness of others at the expense of your own emotional well-being and happiness. People-pleasers often hide their own needs, preferences, desires, and beliefs in order to accommodate other people. This can make it feel as if you are not living your life authentically and it may even leave you feeling as if you don’t know yourself at all.

    In this episode, my friend Kathryn Flashner and I dive into the concept of people-pleasing and how it has personally kept us disconnected from our authenticity and happiness in the past.

    We talk about the importance of honoring your authenticity and making it your first priority, instead of overriding it to please others and pursue their happiness.

    We also chat about how vital it is to give ourselves the space to actually define who we are, what we really want, and what makes us feel the most alive if we want to live a life of personal freedom, joy, and peace — and we give you space to do so in this episode if you choose.

    We share steps you can take today to stop people-pleasing, if you’re a recovering people pleaser like me.

    Kathryn’s north star is storytelling, and she cares deeply about establishing real connections with each community she serves. She has recently relocated to Los Angeles and is the VP of Licensing at Hello Sunshine, a company whose mission is to change the narrative for women. Outside of this role, Kathryn is a meditation and yoga teacher, who sees immense opportunity to infuse mindfulness practices into our corporate settings. She is also an actor and hosts a podcast called The Truth Is, which is dedicated to building a world where we all feel safe and empowered to step into and speak our truth- at home, at work, and in all facets of our lives.

  • I have the most heart-opening and vulnerable conversation with my friends Jenna Kim and Tristan Cabral about navigating the unknown, coming out, and family relationships as queer Christians with an evolving concept of and relationship to faith.

    It’s the longest podcast conversation I’ve ever had and one of the most impactful. Every part of it is so intentional and necessary to share.

    We talk about how challenging it was to grow up seeing zero representation of people who are like us, and how we bravely had to be the examples we wish we saw around us and create a life for ourselves as queer humans.

    Jenna and Tristan openly share the pressures they faced and still face of feeling like they need to be “perfect” as the oldest children in Asian households of faith.

    We also dive into why it was so hard for us to come out to our parents.

    In the last 20 minutes of this conversation, we share ways you can become a better actionable ally to the LGBTQIA+ community.

    Jenna is proudly Korean-American. She’s the oldest of four girls and a pastor’s kid. Jenna works as a production supervisor at Disney TV Animation.

    Tristan is a first generation Filipino-American working as a storyboard artist at Nickelodeon. He is very proud of his identity as a Filipino immigrant story teller and dreams to one day be a TV Director on a cartoon that heavily focuses on cultural intersections.

    This is a trigger warning. We do talk about suicide in this episode. If you’re struggling right now, please know that you are so freaking loved, and the world is more magical and vibrant with you in it. If you need direct support, call the national suicide and crisis lifeline at 988.

  • Generous love is the theme of this episode.

    Josie Ross-McCloud and I get candid about the complex relationship between a queer child and their heterosexual parents and family. Josie’s incredible child Salem is a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. They identify as non-binary trans masculine.

    In this conversation, Josie holds the most loving space for me to talk about one of the most turbulent and transformative times in my life — coming out to my mom at age 22 in 2015.

    I share a few vivid experiences from my youth that pushed me deep in the closet and made it seem impossible for me to come out — and I share the shocking way my mom found out I was gay.

    Josie kindly offers me the opportunity to go back in time and re-do the coming out conversation I had with my mom. This was extremely moving and healing.

    We also discuss:

    The need all humans have for belonging.How dark and light can co-exist.The challenges of being queer and transgender and how we can become better allies.And how you can create more inclusive, equitable, and affirming spaces within your home and community for the LGBTQIA+ community today.

    Josie has navigated a 30+ year career in textiles and apparel as a designer and leader of teams. She’s a wife and mother who loves and celebrates all humans. Her life mission is to continually choose love over fear, to be radically inclusive, and contribute to helping people feel acceptance. This is who she is to me as a friend and in this episode big time.

I also dive into why I chose to evolve my podcast Living in Your Passion Place to Free Be, what I’ve learned over the past nearly 5 years as a podcaster, and what you can expect in this season.

    I finish by guiding you through an activity to help you gain clarity of your wants, desires, and authenticity.

  • In this development chat, Lucca and his mother Dennise talk about the butterfly effect — defined as how a minor change or choice at one time creates a phenomenal change or choice overtime — and how it’s been alive in their family legacy over the past century, beginning with Lucca's great, great grandfather to his great grandma, to his grandma, to his mom and how it has led him to exactly where he is today. They also discuss how their imperfect and messy paths — full of ups and downs, tragedies and triumphs, unforeseen circumstances and small and big choices — are the most direct and empowering path to their destination, and how this is true for you, too.
