In this compelling episode of Our Life Beyond, hosts Scott Dibben and Connie King welcome Nigel, whose life story is both deeply personal and universally relatable. Nigel’s journey through the complexities of family dynamics, marked by multiple divorces within his family and the challenges of growing up in a strict religious environment, has profoundly shaped his understanding of relationships and his own identity.

From his early years in a small Midwestern town, surrounded by the expectations of a traditional Baptist upbringing, to the emotional turmoil of dealing with five divorces within his immediate family, Nigel opens up about how these experiences influenced his views on love, trust, and self-worth. He also candidly discusses the impact of these challenges on his own personal journey, including his struggle with accepting his sexual identity in an environment that was anything but accepting.
