About the Podcast
Our dreams inspire, excite, and light us up, and Melissa Wesner, is here to help you tap into that excitement and turn it into reality.
This podcast is for the big dreamers, action takers, and pursuers of a life well-lived! It’s for the people who want to dream big dreams and pursue them without sacrificing their well-being. While we might not be able to share our dreams with everyone (more on that later), this podcast is intended to be a place where you can seek inspiration and tap into your own big ideas! It’s the place for people who want to dream AND do.
As a licensed counselor, entrepreneur, and avid dreamer, Melissa Wesner understands the process of turning dreams into reality. She also understands how easy it is to put your own well-being on the back-burner.
She’s now convinced that the messages we’ve received about hard work and effort don’t always serve us. Instead, you’ll hear her talking about the connection between our self-care and well-being and our success and business strategy.
You can expect weekly episodes and guest interviews with inspiring entrepreneurs who know more than a thing or two about pursuing big dreams. You’ll also hear from health and wellness experts who will introduce us to the many ways that we can pursue wellness to benefit our personal and professional lives.
If you’re a big dreamer who wants to take inspired action in your personal, professional, or business life, you’re in the right spot!
S01 Ep09: Having the Audacity to Be Your Authentic Self with Rae McDaniel
If there’s one common struggle I regularly see as a therapist, it’s the challenge of accepting ourselves, believing that who we are is good, and allowing ourselves to be our most authentic selves in the world. Joining me on today’s episode is speaker, author, sex therapist, and entrepreneur, Rae McDaniel (they/them), whose book, Gender Magic, is a practical guide to achieving gender freedom with joy, curiosity, and pleasure for transgender and non-binary individuals, gender explorers, and those who love them.
In this episode, you’ll hear Rae:
Define the concept of gender freedom
Talk about why it’s an audacious act to live into our most authentic selves
Discuss the inner work that we can do to achieve gender freedom
Identify ways that we can create a greater sense of welcome and acceptance in our physical spaces and in our own behaviors
