Lauren Moore (@lauuolivia) discusses her coming out story and  her inspiring journey of self-acceptance.

 Lauren eloquently highlights the importance prioritizing yourself. Coming out, being truthful to her identity and proactively focusing on her happiness and wellbeing was a personal revelation - which only had positive repercussions on other elements of her life, allowing her to reach her full potential and flourish.

Coming out was an exiting process. She was able to learn about herself, allowing herself to be the person she’s always wanted to be. Gain an unfamiliar sense on freedom - feeling light, comfortable and contempt.

The topic of mental health is also discussed – the importance of learning to rationally process emotions and combat habitual self-destructive dialogue through building a solid mindset.

Lauren was previously diagnosed with JDM – a rare illness, in her teenage years. The years of difficulty, and challenge she faced during her formative years enforced her to develop internal strength, thus gaining positive and constructive resilient characterises which she has successfully applied in later life experiences.
