When Joey came out, he was met with rejection instead of the love and acceptance everyone deserves. He also battled depression and substance use disorder.\n\nBut Joey is so much more than the struggles he faced. He was a son, a brother, a friend, and a person deeply loved. His story is one of resilience, love, heartbreak, and the importance of compassion.\n\nAt Because of Eli Podcast, our mission is to help others feel seen, heard, and understood. We hope this conversation reaches someone who needs to hear that they are not alone.\n\nSometimes the family we’re born into isn’t able to be the support we need—but family can also be the people who choose to stand beside us, love us, and remind us of our worth.\n\nNo matter who you are or where you are in your journey, you are loved. You matter. 🫂❤️🌈","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/WvAoQ-cCYBEVh0jlCM0EgX1OGKPWDTf0pguWXUItoDU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85Mjg3/MDA2NzMyMjlhNzgw/ZmQxYmY1ODZkNzA4/ZThmMC5QTkc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
