Coming Out + Beyond | LGBTQIA+ Stories

Anne-Marie Zanzal, M.Div is the creator and host of Coming Out & Beyond | LGBTQIA+ Stories. She deeply believes that in the hearing of another's story we can often here our own. Her podcast focuses on sharing the coming out stories of the Queer community, with an emphasis on folks who have come out later in life. Later in life is a subjective term and her guests range in ages 25-80+. Coming out stories is what connect everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community. These stories are compelling, heartbreaking and inspirational. But this podcast does not stop there. Straight media focuses so much on the coming out part, they often miss the "Beyond." Anne-Marie's guests have created lives of creativity, joy, authenticity and services to their fellow humans. She started this podcast because she felt the need to normalize exploration of sexuality/gender at all ages, plus visibility is vital to the LGBTQIA+ community. It is never too late to be who we were created to be. Her guests prove that. Anne-Marie is a graduate of Yale Divinity School, an ordained minister in the progressive United Church of Christ, bereavement counselor, a coming out and divorce coach, conversationalist, spiritual wanderer, later-in-life lesbian, change maker, blogger, author, a northerner living in the south and trying to figure it all out. Anne-Marie has been featured in print and digital publications including Oprah Magazine, New York Times, BBC, CBC and iNews.
