Summary

In case you didn't know, we're still making episodes that are available exclusively on Nora's Substack! - Warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide and suicidal ideation. Nathan always knew he was different growing up. He also knew the LDS church had certain expectations of him: He'd do his mission, find a girl, get married and settle down. Being gay? Not part of that plan. Nathan does everything he can to be straight, including sending himself to "conversion therapy." It, of course, doesn't work. Then ... he starts to uncover his true self. And his true self is beautiful. This episode was originally broadcast in 2018. — The episode transcript can be found here. — We’re lucky to only work with sponsors and brands we know and love.

0:00.0	Um, how are you?
0:04.8	Most people answer that question with fine or good, but obviously it's not always fine and it's
0:13.1	usually not even that good. This is a podcast that asks people to be honest about their pain.
0:20.4	To just be honest about how they really feel, about the hard parts of life, and guess what?
0:32.0	It's complicated.
0:38.5	Hello, it's Nora. It is summertime and the team at Feelings & Co is not taking a vacation. We are
0:45.1	working on the next few months of episodes and planning out the next 12 months of work for our
0:50.3	team. So while we're out there finding and producing new stories for you, we are also going to be
0:55.1	sharing a few of our older favorites, including this episode. We'll be back with brand new episodes

1:20.1	I'm Nora Mcnerney, and this is terrible. Thanks for asking.
1:24.5	So no spoilers, but today's episode is about suicide, and there is also some strong language. I
1:35.0	think I remember some F's, some A's, some asses, and not even by me, I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty
1:42.8	sure this time they're not mine. There's also some graphic sexual content, and I think that's it.
1:48.4	I'm not trying to be a stick in the mud. I just know that a lot of you listen to the show with your
1:53.3	kids, which is so interesting. Hello children, and I just want you to be able to choose what your
1:59.5	kids do and don't hear. So here we go.
2:03.2	Step by step, oh baby, I'm gonna get to you girl.
2:10.8	The first time I knew I was straight was probably preschool. I had a crush on Joey McIntyre,
2:16.8	the cutest member of NKO TV, and I was like, whoa, I don't know what's happening inside of me,
