In this episode we’re diving deep into the power of authenticity, self-expression, and unapologetically living your truth with someone who’s made it his life’s work to guide others out of their metaphorical closets.
My guest for this episode is Rick Clemmons—a mindset shifter, closet buster, and all-around authenticity guru. Rick is the author of Frankly My Dear, I’m Gay, the host of two incredible podcasts Life (UN)Closeted) and 40 Plus: Gay Men)- which I’ve had the pleasure of guesting on, and a life coach for gay men who are ready to shed excuses, fears, and apologies to step fully into their truth.
In this episode, Rick introduces us to his fabulous inner drag avatar, Limonad Pop, and shares how embodying this alter ego has helped him tap into his authenticity and creativity. He takes us through his journey of coming out at 36, how it reshaped his life, and what it taught him about living unapologetically.
We explore what gets in the way of people’s authenticity, and Rick shares a powerful story that reminds us we’re not responsible for how others see us. Together, we unpack how fear and love factor into the quest for truth and how coming out can be a kind of “training” for queer folks to connect with their deeper selves—a practice that can transform all areas of life.
Rick also shares the framework he uses to help clients take big leaps of faith toward alignment and authenticity—whether it’s coming out, changing careers, or embracing life’s biggest transitions. And, of course, we talk relationships. Rick opens up about navigating an open marriage with his husband and how staying true to themselves has strengthened their bond.
Finally, we close with gratitude for the divine maker that made each of us unapologetically us.
