| Okay, so… I talk a lot about my personal freedom to be and express my authentic self. And this is what I love to do for others: help them find the same thing! I love providing safe spaces where people can start experimenting with being their authentic selves. Because I’ve seen it over and over again: Once people get a taste of the liberating feeling of being free to be their authentic selves, it becomes necessary. I was raised in a home and Christian culture that I felt safer hiding my true self. Even after leaving home at the age of 18, it took years to learn how to practice authenticity. I’m still learning! It’s a scary and wonderful journey. So this is my encouragement to you: If you haven’t tried it, please do. And see what happens! I’m here for you. And you will find others who will gather around you to affirm you in your efforts to be you. |
