Spirituality is what lifts me into who I am. From my earrings, to my tattoos, to my effeminate way and masculine moments.
Imagine waking up one day to find half of your face paralyzed. That's exactly what happened to Bonnie Violet, a queer chaplain, trans genderqueer spiritual drag artist, and a person living with HIV in recovery from drugs and alcohol. In this episode of 'A Queer Chaplain', Bonnie opens up about her unexpected diagnosis of Bell's Palsy and the rollercoaster of emotions that followed.
Bell's Palsy causes sudden weakness or paralysis in the facial muscles, a condition that can be both physically and emotionally challenging. But Bonnie's story is one of resilience and self-love. She didn't let fear take over; instead, she embraced her journey with a positive mindset, focusing on recovery and self-care. Bonnie shares the steps she took to nurture herself during this tough time, from seeing a therapist to taking necessary breaks from work.
Her experience became a powerful lesson in self-love and resilience, and she's eager to pass on what she's learned to others facing similar struggles. This episode also touches on Bonnie's upcoming projects, including a dragon spirituality forum and interviews with trans, queer, and drag artists about their unique spiritual journeys. Her message is clear: embrace your authentic self and find strength in your struggles.
Bonnie's story is not just about overcoming a physical condition; it's about finding hope and empowerment in the face of adversity. Tune in to hear her inspiring journey and discover how she turned a challenging experience into an opportunity for growth and learning.
