About this episode

Lia Childress shares her journey of coming out after marriage and the awakening of her sexuality.

Lia Childress is a licensed therapist raised in a deeply Christian environment. Lia spent years immersed in the beliefs and expectations of that world. In this episode, she shares how an unexpected season as a counselor at a kids camp became the beginning of awakening to her sexuality, and ultimately changed the course of her life. Lia also opens up about the courage it took to come out, leave her marriage, and build a life rooted in truth.
