If you enjoyed this episode, I’d love to hear what you think in an iTunes review!

Our very FIRST guest on the creating meaningful work is Reverened Nicole Garcia. She is the first queer transgender Latina ordained as a Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America as well as a working therapist.

I first found out about Reverened Nicole from the Netfliex docuseries Coming Out Colton.

Yes, there's a lot of controversy surrounding Colton as an ex NFL player cis genered white man getting a Netflix series, while most are cast aside.

Reverened Nicole shows up in an episode about faith. Reverened Nicole shoots him straight. Telling him to own up to the pain he caused his ex girlfriend and figureout who he is. Her straightforward yet loving approach had me screaming at my TV... curious about this amazing woman and how I could talk with her.

I found out she was the first queer transgender Latina ordained as a Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America as well as a working therapist.

I gained so much insight from this conversation with Nicole. Her story of radically accepting herself is something we can all learn from, no matter what our experience.

It's never too late to own who you are. It's never too late to step into your true, authentic self. When we do, that is where our most genuine, creative and impactful work comes from and Rev Nicole embodies that to her core.
PS: If you have kiddos around, there is an F-bomb or two dropped in this one!
