Rev. Erika Allison is an author, speaker, coach and ordained interfaith minister. Her award-winning book Gay the Pray Away helps people heal their hearts from what she calls "identity harm." Erika leads people to thrive as more whole and authentic versions of themselves, using spiritual practice as the doorway.   In this interview Erika shares her story of being a conversion therapy survivor. We hear about the identity harm it caused her and learn about her path to healing and self-love- the inspiration for her book! We also get into some juicy discussion about our shared ideas of how soul evolution works. Erika shares practical tips and tools for "building your inner compass" or cultivating more self-trust and connection to our intuitions. We also explore what it means to take back our spiritual authority and we look at the possibility that queer people are the leaders that humanity needs right now in this phase of our evolution. Hear more about her thoughts on that and in her inspiring love letter "Dear Queer People" : https://vimeo.com/liftedimagery/review/785093638/e03858f400 To watch the full interview go here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjiYGuvOp6w&t=2sSupport the show
