The Weight of Shame: Gay, Latinx, and Finding Your Way Back to Yourself – Lucas Saiter

As RuPaul sez, "If you can't love yourself, how the hell you going to love someone else?" But what many of us as gay men don't realize is when we love ourselves, all is well, all is coming, all is delicious. Our guest today, Jerome Braggs, guides, teaches, and illuminates ways for us as gay men to step into the powerful space of loving ourselves fully. About Jerome In 2004, Jerome checked into the hospital with what he thought was the flu, but instead got diagnosed with anemia, pancreatitis, giardia, pneumonia, kidney failure and AIDS. Then, doctors gave him seven days to live. Using what he knew about the Law of Attraction, he miraculously healed himself after three months, and thought he knew the answer to healing, manifestation, and wellness, until he found himself back in that same hospital, with the exact same diagnosis, a year and half later. But this time, doctors gave him 48 hours to live. On his deathbed, he had a Near Death Experience (NDE), where he was told by Source that the true key to healing and wellbeing was to: “wholly love yourself.” After that NDE, he began a mystical journey with self-love where he learned to heal himself, and miraculously transform his entire life into something more well and delicious than he could have ever imagined. Since then, he has heeded the call to share his miraculous story, and this sacred + transformative lesson: “When we love ourselves, all is well, all is coming, and all is delicious. But not a moment before.” Connect With Jerome Website Facebook Instagram Hey Guys, Check This Out! Are you a guy who keeps struggling to do that thing?

As the queen of soul sez: R-E-S-P-E-C-T. It is time to respect yourself and if you don't then that is on you, and only you. Because self-respect is where confidence grows. And as another queen sez (RuPaul) - If you can't respect yourself, how the hell you going to respect someone else. Ok I took some liberties with that one, but you know RuPaul would agree with those sentiments too. Now listen and learn how to R-E-S-P-E-C-T yourself.

Like it or not, all of us gay men are aging. It's a conveyor belt and there is nothing we can do about it. Nor should we feel pressure to do something about it. Yet, some gay men do choose cosmetic surgery and skin care regimes to make themselves feel comfortable in their aging bodies. Then others do what they do to ensure they take the best care of their bodies in a way that suits them. Rather than be judgy about men who choose skin care, botox, and cosmetic surgeries, listen and learn and you just might be surprised what you might be able to do to be more comfortable in your own skin, without being a cosmetic surgery horror story. About J. Shea Terry J.

Roles, roles, roles. Everyone wants us to play some role so that it makes it easier to relate to them. We all do it, and don't say you don't.

We're rolling out the roles and saying now more as we explore the sexual roles we play as gay men!
