    Embrace Your Emotions w/ Platinum Butterfly

    Embrace Your Emotions w/ Platinum Butterfly

    Father's Day Special :)

    This week's episode is for all my Alpha dominant people who have a hard shell, but deep down inside have a soft side too but are afraid to show it sometimes. Tune into the conversation that I have with Platinum Butterfly about being comfortable with your feelings (good and bad) and expressing them as well. We all have feelings and it's okay to show/tell others how you feel. 

    "Remember you loved and you matter."

    ~Black Butterfly

    To kick off Pride Month, I will be introducing my mom who is a part of my support system and love me regardless of my sexual orientation :) This week's conversation will be about her take on when I came out as a lesbian and the unconditional love that never faded. 

    Pride month isn't all about waving a flag and showing off your colors, it's about EQUALITY AND LOVE! No matter what your sexual orientation or gender identity, you are still HUMAN.
