The extraodinary people who I collaborate with know exactly why they have come to this work and how this act of self expression might change how they perceive themselves. They know this because I have created a process to arrive there. It’s about reconnecting with yourself and being authentic and being true. This takes courage and this takes an act of vulnerability. The result is transformative. It’s about finding strength while feeling safe to let your guard down. Unclad Courage is about taking off your armor and lowering your shield. It’s about vulnerability and revealing and connecting and celebrating who we are in our bodies. It is an act of courage to challenge the societal norms that hold us back from our true selves. Thank you for your support is this work. For many it is transformative and it’s an honor to be a part of this process. -Timothy
