About this listen

Living OUT Loud with Michele Flamer is a space for courage, truth, and belonging. The podcast celebrates Queer voices and the people in our communities who are living out loud with intention. Each episode lifts up authentic stories of self-discovery, purpose, and the moments that shaped who we become.

Michele welcomes a wide range of guests who are opening doors and extending their hearts. From everyday heroes to community organizers, from artists and authors to politicians and advocates, these conversations honor the resilience and bravery found in Queer communities across the country. Together, they explore what it means to lead with vulnerability, to create connection, and to stand firmly in our truth.

Through honest conversation, curiosity, and compassion, Michele invites listeners to reflect on their own stories and the power of showing up as their whole selves.

Because when we live out loud, we create space for others to do the same. Thanks for listening and sharing.

Stay Loud and Stay Proud!
