Join us as we take a journey through Ali's transformative story—a tale of navigating cultural expectations, family dynamics, and the complexities of self-identity. Raised in a Vietnamese Catholic family, Ali struggled with a sense of belonging and control amidst financial hardships and parental divorce. Dance and film became her sanctuary, while the pressures of adolescence led her down a path marked by eating disorders and a search for identity in a rapidly changing world.

As we follow Ali's path through high school and beyond, we uncover the intricate layers of her experiences with relationships and gender identity. Dating apps, polyamory, and her exploration of non-binary identity offer a window into her quest for authenticity. With the backdrop of a supportive yet tumultuous family life, she shares how platforms like Tumblr and TikTok influenced her perspectives on feminism and spirituality.

We delve into her experiences with new age practices and a significant encounter with the gospel, leading to a life-changing embrace of divine love and redemption. Join us as we explore the powerful message of hope and forgiveness that Ali discovered, not only for herself but for anyone seeking clarity and liberation in a complex world. Experience the heartfelt reflections, the lessons on overcoming pride and perfectionism, and the transformative power of embracing one's true identity in Christ.
