But not just any confidence—the kind built from the inside out. In this exclusive episode of The Braver Women Show, I sit down with Al Start, a much loved gay singer-songwriter, composer, musician and published author, who used the Braver Women Journal for LGBTQ+ women to silence her limiting beliefs, step onto the Apollo Theatre stage in London, and perform with Ravi’s Dream Team Choir on Britain's Got Talent—winning the Golden Buzzer from Alesha Dixon! 🌟🎶 With Simon Cowell watching, Al took that stage, surrounded by powerful voices, but fully stepping into her own.
