Cat Lessard's Journey: Faith, Identity, and Finding Community

I feel talking about the journey and me going from bi to lesbian is one that I kind of don't mention a lot, because I hate to play into this discord that bi people just eventually choose a side, when for me it was like a stepping stone because I was still reconciling my faith with my sexuality.
June is PRIDE month, and in this special episode of The Rope of Hope podcast, Kimberlee Plezia sits down with Cat Lessard to discuss her unique journey. As a non-binary lesbian and the daughter of a rabbi, Cat faced significant challenges reconciling her faith with her sexuality. She candidly shares her experiences of coming out, navigating adoption, and finding her place within the LGBTQ+ community.
Cat's story also touches on her transition from identifying as bi to lesbian, explaining it as a personal journey rather than a universal experience. This episode isn't just about Cat's story; it highlights the broader mission of The Rope of Hope podcast—providing a platform for voices that inspire resilience and recovery. Kimberlee and Cat delve into the importance of supporting podcast creators, especially during Pride Month.
If you're looking for a heartfelt narrative that blends faith, identity, and community support, this episode is a must-listen.
