Walking Through Fear and Shame to Share Your Truth
Manage episode 410367198 series 3556271
You can fit in the box society gives us, conforming to expectations about how we should love, have sex, raise families, work, dress, and behave. Or, if you dare to step outside the box, and you continue accepting yourself when other people tell you to get back in the box, you might find that there’s so much more room to play, room for freedom, exploration and joy out here.
But that move can be terrifying and it’s no small feat. In this episode, I share instances in my life where I felt scared and ashamed about my identity and choices, and then eventually moved through the fear to be open about who I am. From choosing to become a solo parent through anonymous conception to becoming a hardcore porn performer, and more, I share the process of finding the courage to be honest about my life.
The episode concludes with three big lessons I’ve learned from these experiences of coming out that might help you on your own growing edge of sharing who you are with the world.
