Description
We're back with Part 2 of Andrew Coconato's coming out journey!As a refresher, you can think about Part 1 as Andrew's journey to finally coming out to himself (which finally happened after a close encounter with a wild bear while on a hike with his brother and friend), while Part 2 is his journey to finally "tapping into his colors" as he finally says bye to Florida and moves to LA to begin his life as an openly gay man.Andrew's story tackles so many fascinating topics like healing trauma through his creativity and his art, coming out to family using words and language that they will be able to best understand, and leveraging your uniqueness to impact and influence others in your work (or anywhere, really) regardless of your background or professional experience.We also talk a lot about the concept of finding community on Reaching Out -- often when discussing the concept of "chosen family" -- but that can be hard to find or build depending on your circumstances. Andrew shares with us his approach to building a community from scratch that blew my mind.Lastly, I also think that this episode is going to resonate with anyone who has ever had an idea or passion that they wanted to pursue but has put it off due to not feeling qualified or feeling too much like an imposter. Andrew's story about how he found inspiration, motivation, and support (thanks to the aforementioned community) to start his businesses at a time when he did not have much and was hitchhiking could be just the kick in the motivational tush that you've need to start making moves.Links:Instagram @vincecoconatoInstagram @bobsdanceshopTikTok @bobsdanceshopYoutube Bob's Dance ShopInstagram @twistedoakcreativeFollow along with Reaching Out!Instagram @reachingoutpodTwitter @reachingoutpodHost @michaelwingsit
