4. Safe Haven

Are you safe enough to consciously connect? According to Maslow's heirarchy of needs, a person must first have their physiological needs met before they can love and have a sense of belonging. After their physiological needs are met, then they must feel safe before they can consider being loved or loving.

Zita takes us on a journey of how her wife Waliyyah has always made her feel safe through cultural differences, shyness and self examination.

Special Thanks to our guests Waliyyah Muhsin and Zita Castillo

Topics discussed in this episode: Safety, exes, LGBTQIA and coming out, religious/cultural differences
