As a society – as a gay community – it's hard to not constantly compare ourselves to each other, to those who are successful and to celebrities.
For the gay man who’s experiencing loneliness and a lack of authentic connection, these comparisons can make us feel even more alone and that we don’t belong. It can make us feel like we need to work harder to project an image to the world so we’re also accepted.
Comparison really is the thief of joy.
Or is it? Join me and Jesse Elkins from Full Sun Fitness and Nutrition for a coffee and join our thought-provoking and inspiring chat about how we can turn these comparisons into sources of inspiration, joy and connection.
About Jesse
Jesse is the founder and owner of Full Sun Fitness and Nutrition in Charlotte. It’s a personal training and nutrition coaching service for Queer and ally communities near and far. It was born after too many years of experiencing and witnessing wellness challenges and access gaps for Queer Folx. He decided that if he didn’t feel safe or comfortable in many wellness settings, others might not either. Turns out, he was right!
