I want to thank everyone from OUTStaged for joining me on the podcast. We discussed the OUTStaged drama group and their writing workshops beginning today February 23rd at 7pm in Gay Project, South Parish Community Centre, Sawmill St, Ballintemple, Cork.

Learning Self Love
Episode 3 of Season 2 introduces us to Marc, a listener to this podcast from Switzerland who reached out so he could share his life story and the struggles he experienced with coming to terms with who he is and the trials and tribulations he suffered to reach a point in his life where he could love himself and all who he is. Marc's story is layered in many ways, but this makes it a story that everyone will be able to identify with in some way or another. I connected deeply with Marc's story and it made me feel seen and less alone in the thoughts that swim around my head from time to time. I hope you all feel this same connection and know that there is always someone out there who wants to hear your story and wants to help you in any way that they can. Thank you for listening!
For our Swiss listeners, Marc has provided me with the following emergency numbers for those suffering through a mental health crisis:
147: Pro Juventute, https://www.147.ch/fr/
143: Suicide Helpline, https://www143.ch/fr/
144: Ambulance Service
117: Police
112: European Emergency Number

Season 2 Episode 2 has Aaron Cowming and I chatting about his life from coming out to where he is now in his journey to self discovery. This episode is very much a relaxed conversation in which we jump from topic to topic naturally as they pop up and is a nice listen for anyone who wants to feel like they're listening to two friends having a lovely queer chat whilst hitting on some important conversation topics in our community. Please enjoy this episode and like, follow and share so more people can discover this podcast. Thank you all. :)

Finding Happiness
Season 2 kicks off with my guest Cabhán Ó Duinn detailing his life and how in the past year he has been able to find happiness through being his authentic self.
Cabhán's story is heart breaking at times, but ultimately is a tale of hope and stands as an inspiration to us all as to the joy and happiness to be found when you accept and embrace your authentic self.
Enjoy the episode and welcome to Season 2 of Queer Tales.
*TRIGGER WARNING* Suicide is mentioned in this episode so please skip if this is a trigger for you.
