EP14 – Heather Hester – Therapist
This week on the GayPHX Podcast, we’re stepping into one of those moments where you can feel the energy building across the entire city — because it’s officially Mr. Anvil Phoenix Title Contest Week.
All week long, things are ramping up. From Thursday night’s kickoff energy to Friday’s meet-and-greet moments, and everything leading into Saturday’s main event — this isn’t just a contest. It’s a gathering point. A tradition. A space where people show up, stand proud, and represent something bigger than themselves.
And whether you’re planning to be there in person or tuning in from wherever you are, this is one of those weekends where community shows up loud.
We’ve been talking about it on the stream, keeping you updated, and making sure you know what’s happening and when — because this is exactly the kind of moment GayPHX was built for.
Then we sit down with Heather Hester, and this conversation hits in a completely different — but equally important — way.
Heather works with families navigating identity, understanding, and what it really means to support someone you love. And this isn’t surface-level. We get into the real stuff — the questions people are afraid to ask, the mistakes people make, and what it looks like to actually grow into acceptance instead of just saying the right words.
It’s honest. It’s human. And it’s the kind of conversation that sticks with you.
And as always, this podcast is just part of it.
Most of these conversations hit the GayPHX stream first — along with music, community updates, and everything happening across the Valley — so if you want to tap in live, find us on TuneIn, Radio Garden, Radio.net, and MyTuner. We’re streaming 24/7.
Thanks for listening.
Thanks for showing up.
And thanks for being part of something that’s still growing — together.
