Standing up for your personal beliefs can be challenging, especially if they don’t coincide with societal norms.
That’s the story of today’s guest, Molly Kemp. Molly is an improv performer, instructor and coach, where she encourages people to take off the masks they wear in their lives so they can live with more vulnerability and authenticity.
Additionally, she and her husband have chosen to follow gender-open parenting methods for the child they are expecting in June. We will discuss what it’s like to make a choice that doesn’t conform to societal beliefs and what that has been like for her.
