This podcast was so well done. It was a beautiful tribute to Alana and touched on very important issues that need to be spoken about. I was moved after listening.

The most beautiful podcast I’ve listened to. The empathy shown to Alana’s story is deeply honest. Make sure you have a box of tissues at hand. Thank you for sharing I feel honoured to have found you both.

I’m so moved by this podcast. It felt respectful to Alana, her family and Simon, himself. A lot of courage on the part of Simon, her family & friends, and his family to be so open and honest. Also really appreciated the voiceover actress’ thoughtful portrayal of Alana’s journal entries. I like to think that this podcast will have a ripple effect. It’s various themes, such as self-acceptance, mental health struggles and unconditional support, are all worthy of reflection.

Thank you Simon for a beautifully heartbreaking story, that is also full of hope. Your vulnerability and gentle storytelling was wonderful.

Simon, his team, and Alana’s family + friends poured their hearts into this. A testament to their love of her, and Simon’s growing love for himself. I hope everyone listens to this. Simon and Alana’s story are so closely aligned as they struggle with internalized homophobia and their devout catholic faith. This brought me to tears and I loved every second. My love to all involved in the creation of this.
