    The Star on the Other End

    This week on OUT Like a Light, John Scott returns from a starry retreat with a heart full of new story ideas. After a week away camping with his fiancé at a gay retreat, he brings us back to a tender childhood memory—pretending his bed was a space capsule drifting through the cosmos. That moment of imaginative comfort becomes the inspiration for tonight’s floating space meditation. Then, in our bedtime story, “The Star on the Other End,” we follow a quiet queer soul who rediscovers their inner light after losing their job and wrestling with the weight of a world that doesn’t always feel welcoming. Through a chance connection with what they think is a distant star—spotted through an old backyard telescope—they begin a silent friendship that reminds them: the light they needed was never out there. It was inside them all along. This episode is for anyone who’s ever looked up and wondered if they belonged out there more than they do down here. You are not broken. You are stardust. And you were never meant to dim. As always, we thank Chris Haugen and Jesse Gallagher for their beautiful music. While YouTube doesn’t require attribution, we believe in honoring those who make this work possible. ✨ Follow John Scott on Instagram: @out_like_a_light 🎧 Watch/listen on YouTube: youtube.com/@OUTLikeALightJS 💖 Share this with someone who needs help falling asleep feeling loved. #LGBTQPodcast #SleepStory #QueerHealing #BedtimeMeditation #OUTLikeALight #QueerVoices #QueerSleepStory #GuidedMeditation #LGBTQStories #MentalHealthSupport #GayPodcast #NonbinaryStories #TransJoy #QueerComfort #FallingAsleepSafe

    S01E12: The Long Road Home

    In this heartfelt twelfth episode of OUT Like a Light, John Scott invites you to slow down with a calming bedtime meditation and a fresh take on an old story. 🧡 The meditation centers around the sensory comfort of floating in orange goo — warm, soft, and safe — helping you ease tension and sink into rest. Then, in tonight’s story, “The Long Road Home,” we revisit the Tortoise and the Hare, long after their race has ended. Now middle-aged and changed by life, they reconnect not as rivals, but as companions on a shared path of healing. No finish line. No audience. Just the long, gentle road ahead — and the wisdom of walking it together. ✨ LGBTQ+ affirming ✨ No ads, no interruptions ✨ Just peace, reflection, and rest Music by Chris Haugen and Jesse Gallagher. YouTube doesn’t require attribution, but my heart does. Thank you, gentlemen.
