Reinventing Yourself
from Gay Men Going Deeper · host Michael DiIorio & Matt Landsiedel | Gay Men’s Brotherhood
One of the most exciting things about life is being able to transform your identity whenever you want. For most people, transformation happens naturally and gradually over time. But sometimes you can purposefully and intentionally undergo a process of personal reinvention to become a new version of yourself. In this episode, we’re talking about Reinventing Yourself and answering questions such as… What has contributed to defining your self-image? How have you let go of old versions of yourself? How have you gone about reinventing yourself? How do you perceive yourself now? How much of that perception comes from how others respond to you? Join us as we share our own reinventions of the past, and present, and how we’re reinventing ourselves for the future.
