We are all raised to think, act, and believe a certain way. What if you realize how you were raised does not fit who you are? Would you continue to pretend to be someone you’re not, or would you find a way to be authentically you? In this episode, I speak with a kind and accepting human who broke free from the rules of others and built a life of freedom and safety while helping others feel the same. Join myself and Krisa Gonna L’Whor as we explore freedom, building insight into our authentic selves, and the strength it takes to be that person, even when the world is telling you not to be.
