Terry McHale shares his story of having highly religious parents and how unauthentically he lived his young life in order to survive.  Being who he really was...was anything but safe.  Even though he was well liked and respected in school, there was a painful emptiness because he was not able to be himself. That emptiness led him to attempt suicide, while in college.  This turned out to be a defining moment in his life and the road from shame to authenticity has been a long and challenging journey.  A vivid dream in 2020 turned everything on its head and changed the trajectory of Terry's life, for the better.  He talks about how gripping fear had held him back for so long.  And, once he finally fully came out, he realized that it was much bigger and more scary in his mind than it ever was in reality.  If you have ever felt like you can't go on, this episode will shed some warm light on your situation.Terry is a licensed massage therapist and in his free time he leads video connection calls as a volunteer for an online group for gay men.Terry's ProfileBe a GuestFollow Us on FacebookPower Moments With MaddoxAll Maddox's Links
