Elizabeth Jarrett Andrew is a writer, teacher, and spiritual guide who has 'come out' in more ways than one—as bisexual, as contemplative, as creative, as fully alive.
She and Sheila explore the deeper meaning of coming out—not just as a sexual identity, but as a human act of truth-telling. Together, they dig into writing as spiritual practice, memoir as sacred text, and how loving ourselves back to life is both personal and revolutionary.
They talk about:💬 Coming out as bisexual, contemplative, and creative🖋 The power of journaling and writing as sacred practice🔥 Why owning our truth changes the communities around us🎁 The gift economy of creativity—and how the smallest acts ripple outward
This episode asks:
What truth are you hiding in plain sight?What closet—spiritual, emotional, creative—are you still living in?
