Episode 179: Your story is your story – Christopher Brune-Horan - a podcast by Rick Clemons - Bold Move Expert & Coming Out Coach

We’ve all got a story. It’s our story. The good, the bad, and the ugly, but it’s still our story. Too often though, we are afraid to tell our story, to share our truth. However, the reality is, our story is our truth and the foundation that should and can enable us to stand taller, and be our unique self in the world. And besides, who doesn’t enjoy a good story…even if the good story is full of some ugly parts.
 
Master storyteller, writer, playwright, and just a sweetheart of a guy, Christopher Brune-Horan, joins the coming out lounge today to share his story, and his talent for telling your story in a way that connects people to you, so that even if coming out of the closet scares the crap out of you, you can still tell your story and stand tall and proud.
