Support Starts Here

You’re not broken. You’re not alone.

Okay, listen. I make jokes about lube, khakis, and Catholic guilt — but this part? This part is serious.

​

If you’re here because something in your own story feels heavy — whether it’s family rejection, church baggage, or just feeling like a glitter bomb in a beige world — hear me: you are not broken. You are not alone. And yes, there are people who will pick up when you call.

​
