What does it truly mean to embrace your authentic self? Join Heather and Lori Sweetman, a gender and sexuality holistic life coach, as she shares her personal journey as a genderfluid lesbian and her mission to serve the LGBTQ+ community, particularly in under-served areas. Redefining the concept of "coming in" versus "coming out," they emphasize self-compassion, authenticity, and accepting the rollercoaster journey of life. Delve into the complexities of relationships, polyamory, and the use of labels in understanding our identities and experiences.
