Life is more enjoyable and impactful when we live as our brilliant, authentic selves.  Some members of the Queer community face internal and external challenges to living life authentically.

Having a coach, who knows Queer challenges from personal experience, is an ideal support.

MJ, aka Michelle Johnston, is a coach for Queer, Questioning and Trans adults.  And guess what?  They are also a Priest!  As someone that identifies as non-binary trans, MJ is a great example that it's possible for religion to evolve.  When you step into self acceptance and self love, your brilliance can change the world.

With the holiday season upon us you may be experiencing an extra layer of stress.  Family gatherings and Work parties may bring you face to face with difficult people.  MJ has a special holiday program to help you make it through the holidays with your waistline and sanity in tact.

Prepare for a lot of laughter in this episode!  MJ knows how to bring the joy!
