TOGETHER MOVING FORWARD PODCAST
Finally loving and respecting ourselves
A podcast for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, along with our friends, allies, and all human beings.
Welcome to the Together Moving Forward Podcast!
Join host Stef Vachon, a French-Canadian living in Montreal, as we create a safe space for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and our allies. This podcast is dedicated to sharing stories of resilience, love, and self-acceptance, empowering each listener to embrace their true selves.
Together, we will foster understanding, celebrate our journeys with pride, and unite in the belief that everyone deserves respect and love.
Through open dialogue and storytelling with special guests, we seek to inspire compassion, raise awareness, and promote an inclusive society where all differences are embraced.
Ultimately, we aim to connect with as many people as possible from all around the world, because at the end of the day, we are all equally human.
Let’s celebrate ourselves and uplift one another!


THE PODCAST
Even though my first language is French, I have decided to do this podcast in English so that we can unite as many people as possible from all over the world. I say “we” because this podcast is for us, together.
Hate-motivated violence targeting 2SLGBTQIA+ communities is on the rise. Our best response is to celebrate ourselves, support each other, and show the world how we respect ourselves so we can finally love ourselves.
This desire to take action motivates me to share and help people in our community improve as quickly as possible. After everything I’ve been through, I feel it would be selfish to just go on living my life without helping others. I have decided to transform a painful life experience into a positive and powerful force to uplift and support my community.
Together Moving Forward
I am not a psychologist, a specialist, or someone with a college degree. I’m just a regular guy sharing with all of you and being there for each other.
I won’t tell anyone what to do or how to do things. Instead, I will share my journey. We will all share our journeys and learn from one another how to move forward together. I will recount how abuse and bullying took away my childhood and a big part of my life, but more importantly, how I learned to overcome it and finally respect and love myself, something I thought impossible for a long time.
I want this podcast to be a place where people in our community, who are struggling in their country, family, or any other place in the world, can find hope and a sense of belonging to a supportive group, while also uniting the friends and allies of our community, and ultimately, connecting with as many people as possible, because at the end of the day, we are all equally human.
SHARE THIS PODCAST and spread the good news!
Solidarity beats hate. The more we unite, the stronger we become.
Because at the end of the day, we are all equally human, and we all deserve the same rights.
