Ready for a raw, real conversation about self-acceptance, coming out later in life, and giving yourself permission to live authentically?

In this episode, I chat with Lisa Kirkman, host of Big Gay Overalls podcast, about her journey from feeling like she was watching her life in third person to fully owning who she is.

Lisa shares her powerful story of breaking free from the "shoulds," finding her voice, and creating a life that actually fits instead of forcing herself to fit into a life that wasn't meant for her.

We dive deep into what it means to accept yourself, set boundaries without feeling like an asshole, and intentionally design a life you love.

Whether you identify as queer or not, this episode is for anyone who's ever felt like they're living someone else's version of success.

On today's episode all about self-acceptance so you can live YOUR best damn life, we discuss:

  • Why self-acceptance is a manual process, not an automatic one
  • How to stop protecting everyone else at the cost of yourself
  • The freedom that comes from giving zero f*cks about others' expectations
  • Why tiny steps forward are more powerful than you think
  • The importance of finding your ride-or-die support system

Use Lisa's story as inspiration to get out of your own damn way and create YOUR Best Damn Life.

This conversation is your permission slip to start.
