E050. Storytime! Why everybody needs to keep coming out of the closet.

Joyfully Ever After with Heidi Esther

Someone who needs 1/3 caff coffee. And 10 hours of sleep. And inserts in her shoes. And long talks with friends.
Who dat?
Yep , that's me, Heidi Esther. And those are just some of the different ways I've "come out of the closet" in my life. Yes, yes, in addition to being lesbian. But, honestly, all the big AND little ways we come out of the closet are critical to finding joy in life.
Why is coming out of the closet important?

• ...for being seen for who you are.
• ...for letting others know that they are not alone if they feel the same way. (think: common humanity)
• ...for you to acknowledge your worthiness and uniqueness
• ...so that you accept your uniqueness and weirdness and take care of yourself AND SHOW OTHERS how to best take care of and be in relationship with you.
• ...so that you can end up loving all the pieces of yourself, no matter what. which leads to believing in yourself, which leads to unlocking your divinely-given joyful purpose.

And when you hide, you let others know...

• It's okay to say one thing and mean another
• It's okay to change yourself according to what other people need
• It's okay to give your power away
• ...that the real you is not worthy of seeing the light of day.
