Together, the trio delves into themes of queer identity, wellness, spirituality, and the universal struggle to let go of shame and guilt.

This heartfelt conversation also touches on Paul’s debut novel, Together in a Broken World, the role of YA fiction in normalizing queer experiences, and the power of storytelling to heal and inspire.
