Returning Home To Yourself with Theron Olivar (Part 2)

HOORAY!  We made it to March and part two of Theron Olivar’s marvelously encouraging story.  In this week’s episode, Theron revisits his “Gold Star” Mormon mission, how coming out led to the loss of community and friendships and discovered that when allowing ourselves to let our deepest desires lead, we beautifully impact everything around us; love and support spreads through our family and community.  We also discuss interesting post Mormon shenanigans and his decision to run for tribal council. Theron’s story is definitely one for the books and too fascinating and hilarious and to cut short.  You can listen to the first part of our conversation here:https://leaving-in-color.captivate.fm/episode/returning-home-to-yourself-with-theron-olivar-part-1About our guest:Theron Olivar is an Arizona Native (Apache) who was raised Lutheran and converted to the LDS faith at the age of 18. He volunteers his time to support ALL (Arizona LDS LGBT), a cause that speaks to his heart. He works in compliance and has a long career in the world of finance. Theron now believes that he is who he's meant to be, that life is too short to over analyze everything and is excited to see what the future holds. He currently lives in Arizona with his long-time love and partner. Mentioned:ALL: Arizona LDS LGBT <a href="https://www.allarizona.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.allarizona.org/</a> LDS Mission Training Center <a href="https://provo.mtc.byu.edu/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://provo.mtc.byu.edu/</a>Connect with Leaving in Color:Instagram - @leavingincolor.pod Email - leavingincolorpod@gmail.comMusic by Tucker WintersArt by Jen Cagle GilmoreEditing by <a href="https://particulatemedia.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Particulate Media</a>

Returning Home To Yourself with Theron Olivar (Part 1)

My conversation with today’s guest has been in the works for some time and I am more than elated to FINALLY share it. Theron is someone who you meet once, immediately feel like he’s your best friend and this conversation definitely evokes that. In part one of this conversation, we’ll talk about growing up as a Methodist Apache kid who converts to Mormonism as a way to have more structure to avoid his inner knowing. The awakening that happens as Theron searches for his “people” is inspiring and brave. Theron is absolutely charming and hilarious, so much so that we will have part TWO of this conversation for you in a few weeks. About our guest:Theron Olivar is an Arizona Native (Apache) who was raised Lutheran and converted to the LDS faith at the age of 18.
