## Resource

What does it actually mean to explore your gender identity when you weren't raised with the language to do it? In this episode, I'm joined by co-host Rachael (she/her) and guest Audy Avery (they/all) to talk about non-binary identity, gender fluidity, and what it looks like to stop performing who you're supposed to be and start figuring out who you actually are. We get into pronouns, coming out later in life, raising gender-expansive kids, and why "I'm still figuring it out" is a completely valid place to be. This episode originally aired in 2024 under our very first podcast name, Taking Up Space. It's one of our most popular for a reason, and we wanted it in the F*ck Confidence feed where it belongs. 🤳🏼 Get our FREE selfie guide: https://empowermentphotographer.com/selfie 🔗 Sign up for the #SelfietoSelfLove Challenge: selfietoselflove.com 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @empowermentstudio__ 🌐 Learn more about our boudoir sessions and Empowerment Experience: empowermentphotographer.com 👥 Join our Facebook Group: The Empowerment Studio
