    Living Fully Integrated with Author of Perfectly Queer : Jillian Abby

    Perfectly Queer author Jillian Abby on Facing Big Fears, Living Hard Truths, & Loving Herself Fully Out Of The Closet. I'm Jillian Abby, and my life has been a journey of constant reinvention, weaving together a tapestry of diverse experiences. Originally from Buffalo, NY, I dared to step out of my comfort zone at the age of 15, venturing to study abroad in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Since then, my path has been anything but conventional, reflecting a series of roles that include Certified Public Accountant, Licensed Massage Therapist, craft beer bar owner, creative copywriter, homeschooling parent, and black belt martial artist. Embracing my most recent transformation as a newly-out lesbian and advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community has been both the riskiest and most rewarding change of my life. As one of Hay House Publishing's newest authors, I'm thrilled to share my teaching memoir, "Perfectly Queer," set to be released in April 2023. Beyond writing, I extend support to others navigating major life shifts through my blog, QueerAbby.com, my podcast "Life and Love in the Q," and engaging content on TikTok @AskQueerAbby. I also serve as a board member for the 501(c)3 Tampa Homeschool Inclusive Events and proudly contribute to the Tampa Bay LGBT Chamber of Commerce and Babe Crafted. I call Tampa Bay home, where I reside with my partner, Jen, our two wonderfully wacky children, and a rescue cat named Poe. I'm an open book, always eager to answer the most intriguing and intimate questions to foster understanding—just don't inquire about my favorite movie; I have a tendency to doze off during films. Feel free to connect with me through my various platforms, and let's continue this journey of understanding, growth, and shared experiences. Here is the link for Jillian's social media accounts, Substack, and where to buy Perfectly Queer.  https://linktr.ee/jillianabbyWant to be my next guest? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apply Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Want more from What's On Your Plate Podcast?

    Future of Aging: AI, Immigration, and the Fight to Preserve Human Dignity: Dr. Jacob Kendall

    Dr. Jacob Kendall advocates like hell for folks with chronic illness, chronic pain, and disability. Our health is 4-dimensional (or more), and so should be our healthcare. He has had 2 open-heart surgeries and has been a full-time caregiver for multiple members with heart disease. Jacob also is a candid metagerontologist with a broadly interdisciplinary background in biology, social work, public health, and theology. For fun (and also personal growth) he reads a wide range of literature, his favorites being quantum mechanics, animal behavior, early American history, religion, and Edith Wharton. Indeed, his lifelong goal since childhood has been to become a true Renaissance person, which also – in addition to the above – has included accumulating 25 passport stamps so far and learning and enjoying multiple musical instruments. He currently lives with his wife, son, and daughter on Mobile Bay in Alabama. LinkedIn The Smart Patient website The Versatile Professional website ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Want to be my next guest?
