2026 is the year you stop shrinking.

The year you step into rooms you once felt unqualified for.

The year you finally claim that you are visible, valuable, and chosen.

In this season kickoff episode of Empowered & Out, host Jonathan sets the tone for a powerful year centered on visibility, authenticity, and what prosperity truly means for LGBTQ+ professionals and leaders.

Prosperity isn’t just about money — it’s about identity, belonging, confidence, and making aligned decisions that honor who you really are. Jonathan unpacks why visibility is strategy (not vanity), how to stop minimizing your value, and what it means to choose yourself before waiting for validation.

You’ll also hear a practical “Coach’s Corner” exercise to help you anchor your year with intention and clarity:

“In 2026, I prosper because I choose ______.”

Whether you’re navigating career growth, rebuilding confidence, or learning how to show up more authentically at work, this episode will leave you feeling seen, grounded, and empowered to take up space.

✨ If you’re ready to prosper — not just financially, but personally and professionally — this season is for you.
