Everyone has a coming out story.
When fear becomes courage
When Doubt becomes certainty &
When Shame becomes pride
I’ll help you discover yours.
Of course I have a coming out story and I’m willing to bet you do too.
Every coming out story is about you trying to come to terms with who you are, what you value and sharing that story with the world.
There’s a moment (or moments) in everyone’s life when they choose to break free of the fear, guilt, shame, doubt and judgment that has held their authentic self hostage.
It’s about identity and authenticity, whether that’s your gender identity, your beliefs, your passions and even about turning your life on its head to help you feel more alive and at peace with the life you’re choosing to live daily.
Discovering your coming out story gives you a lightning bolt size boost towards living in a life that is more in alignment with your values and your self-value.
You’ll feel increased confidence, self acceptance, self worth, self love, unlimited potential and amplified impact when you finally shatter the glass box that’s holding you back from being the person you want to be…the person you were always meant to be.
Are you ready to feel the full effects of progress, change, liberation, and a possible rebellion against the things that have been holding you back personally & professionally?
