In this episode of the Unlocking Milestones Podcast, I dive into a heartfelt exploration of self-discovery and embracing one's true identity. With the backdrop of Pride Month, I openly shares my personal journey as a member of the LGBT community. From coming out to my best friend, now my boyfriend, to publically revealing my sexuality to friends and family, I discuss the challenges, fears, and eventual triumphs I have experienced in accepting and expressing my authentic self.

"So if you're gay, then be gay. But if you're afraid to tell about it, then don't tell about it. You have your own time, your own pacing in life. You don't need to force yourself to come out now, to come out early to be gay. Now, if you are not comfortable, if you're still afraid of showing your own true identity, then give yourself time. You have the right to tell whenever you're ready." - Deson
