Confidence 3: Embracing Your True Self

I recently discovered that without realizing, I have apparently so fully embraced and accepted who I am, that I am literally excited to be perceived. Let's talk about how that can sneak up on you, and how so fully loving who you are can change experiences in ways you never dreamed were possible. And yes, this is Confidence 3, but it's also Gender Euphoria 2, and Halloween (and the fear of embracing your true self) 2, because everything's connected, and we'll talk about that too. Our sound editor Jillian Morgan returns to discuss being awkward on stage and bringing it all together! My humanness shows all over the place! Free the frogs!
