#56: How to Embrace Your Sexuality

Why is it that many of us struggle to accept who we are and live unapologetically a life that is true to ourselves?


Have you ever struggled with your sexuality? If so, did you ever dream of living a life free of fear, judgement, criticism, or rejection?


Today, Danny welcomes you to have a conversation about embracing your sexuality and living a life that is authentic without the need to apologize for it! For many of you, the experience of coming out, self-acceptance, and navigating the LGBTQ+ community as a Gay or Bisexual man has been a negative one for a multitude of different reasons (being disowned by family, fear of rejection, safety reasons, etc.) In this episode, you will learn about the emphasis of the "nuclear family" after WWII and how it perpetuated heteronormativity, the 4 steps to accepting your sexuality, and recommendations from Danny's personal experience with self-acceptance.
