Hi friends, it's Celicia.

Lots of fun stuff is happening here in the Turekheim offices, and while you're waiting

for new episodes, I wanted to give you a little sneak peek of an incredible new Tenderfoot

TV podcast called Dear Alana.

The story follows a young woman who disappeared from Boulder, Colorado in 2019.

She left behind two dozen journals, chronicling her love of the outdoors, Ultimate Frisbee,

and her dream of becoming a nun.

She also kept a secret, one that put her dream at risk.

At 14 years old, Alana confessed to her priest that she was attracted to women, and then

she was instructed not to tell her parents.

Over the next seven years, Alana covertly received conversion therapy, which her family

believes played a role in her fate.

Rose Simon Kentfung explores Alana's life and the parallels with his own life experiences.

Simon also underwent conversion therapy for nearly a decade in his efforts to become a priest.

He's compelled to uncover the truth of what really happened to Alana, and finally, face

what happened to him.

It's truly one of the best shows I've heard in a long time.

It's a very, very powerful story, and I know you'll want to hear it too.

Your Alana is available now, and here's a sneak peek.

It was just like kind of showed up and...
