This week on Unpacked is chatting with guest Laura Gervais, a University Student majoring in neuroscience and a member of the LGBTQ+ community. We chat with Laura about coming out and learning about who she really is. Laura shares her experience growing up in a small town in rural Alberta in a Catholic school and navigating coming to understand her true identity in that context. She shares her coming out story, what was most supportive, what she wished more people know about the LGTBQ+ community and gives hope and advice for young people who are discovering their sexuality but more importantly who they were made to be.

Unpacked is a podcast exploring life as messy people. It’s conversations with counsellors, leaders, and storytellers discussing the experiences of being human. We talk about the strength that comes from big messy failures and vulnerable moments so we can learn to live more authentically. Subscribe and leave us a review!
