Joanna Whaley Podcast
Tune into the Joanna Whaley Podcast, a captivating and deeply personal exploration documenting the profound, real-time evolution of its host, Joanna Whaley. For years, Joanna served as a dedicated Evangelical Pastor and later came out as a transgender woman. This podcast chronicles the challenging and ultimately liberating process of her deconstruction of faith, leading her to step away from the pulpit and embrace a new, powerful calling: becoming a passionate and vocal LGBTQ Rights advocate.
This series offers listeners a candid, week-by-week look at what it truly means to navigate a complete philosophical and professional upheaval. Joanna invites you to listen in as she tackles difficult conversations, grapples with the loss of her former identity, confronts the biases she once held, and finds her new voice on the front lines of social justice. Experience the full scope of this transformative journey, the doubts, the revelations, the heartache, and the ultimate triumph of aligning her life with a message of unconditional love and equity for all. This is more than a podcast; it’s a living diary of radical change and courageous advocacy.
