You know that feeling when you’ve spent the whole day playing along and toning yourself down just to fit in? When you get home, close the door, and exhale because you can finally just be?

That’s not just tired—that’s the cost of conforming. And it's no way to live our lives each day.

This online coaching circle is a space for people who don’t fit neatly into “normal” boxes—across identity, sexuality, relationships, neurotype, career, family, or lifestyle choices.

Together, we'll help you spot where you’re masking or conforming to the norm; understand why it’s happening; remember who you are underneath; and choose one small step to live more like you this week.

What you’ll gain

Clarity on how and where you’re masking/performing in real life

Understanding of the non-negotiable parts of your identity that you want to honor

Greater self-love, confidence, and ease in navigating life as yourself

A plan of practical next steps to apply what you learn about yourself

What we’ll do

Breathwork and short guided meditation to ground and connect

Solo reflection prompts

Small-group discussion to connect with others who feel similarly

Sharing insights and learning

Planning one small, real-life shift to try this week

Is this for you?

If “mainstream” rooms leave you feeling a little fake or drained, yes.

This space is queer-friendly, poly-aware, neurodiversity-affirming, welcoming to the childfree, people-pleasers, introverts, creatives, nerds, weirdos, and anyone who doesn’t fit the mold (or wants to break free from it).

Why I’m hosting this

I’m Brittany, a well-being coach—and a recovering people-pleaser who has spent far too much time not letting my true colors shine through. I’ve been reflecting on how I smile, nod, and shrink myself to be more palatable to others in certain spaces. While I'm still learning to how to show up as my most authentic self, facilitating this event is the small step I committed to doing as part of that.
