The Magic of Returning to Yourself with Anna Vos
On this episode of the pod we had the privilege of talking with Anna Vos. Anna is a fat queer human rainbow and artist based in Rochester, NY. She owns a small gift shop called Anna Parade and is a mom to two awesome elementary school kids. She likes to grow flowers in her garden and play board games with her loved ones.
In this conversation, Anna vulnerably shares with us some of the complexity and struggle of deconstructing her faith, discovering her queerness and liberating herself from body hatred.
