<p>Welcome, to a special episode of the “Opening the Heart” podcast.&nbsp; “LIVING OUT LOUD” is the first of four podcasts dedicated to the North Idaho Pride Alliance.&nbsp; June is LGBTQ Pride Month, a month when we remember those brave LGBTQ elders who have gone before us to pave the way, and a month that we celebrate the victories and milestones of our community.&nbsp; We celebrate who we are are and our powerful truth!&nbsp; Today my guest is a dear friend of mine and one of those people who helped pave the way for the LGBTQ community in north Idaho. &nbsp; I am pleased to welcome Kathy Colton to the show.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

"Living Out Loud" with guest Lizzie Welker (NIC GSA)

Hey there, welcome to What’s On Top!&nbsp; This is the space where I get to share what’s been on my mind, in my heart, or just in the air around me lately.&nbsp; Each episode will be a mix of personal stories, trending topics, and things that just deserve a little spotlight.&nbsp; Sometimes I’ll be solo, and sometimes I’ll have a friend to talk with. &nbsp;What’s on top is a phrase I have used for a long time. It just describes the things that are sitting closest to the surface, whether they are on my mind or in my heart.&nbsp; Leave a comment if something resonates with you, or if there is something you want me to explore with you. I really hope you come back and join me for an episode of “what’s on top”. &nbsp;Until next time, take care of yourself. And don’t forget to pause once in a while and ask: What’s On Top?(What's on Top is the newest iteration of the former podcasts Inside Out and From The Heart. You can still access the former episodes).
