294: Unleashing the Monsters In Our Closets – Mark Julien

As gay men, there are monsters in our closets that are frightening and the comical. For most of us the monster of coming out is one that terrifies and terrified us the most. Capturing the essence of that journey, in comic book form, Author Mark Julien joins us to share about his desires to use his creativity to help us discover the nurturing power of love, and the belief in one's self, can act as a catalyst for healing and self-acceptance in his new graphic novel - Becoming Abel. Showcasing the importance of self-acceptance, this episode covers:
  • Ways to activate self-care and self-love
  • Candidly discusses the power of mental health therapy
  • How the love of what you do can be the catalyst for being a beacon of light in the world
