I’m SUPER excited you guys! I’ve been wanting to change my name for YEARS but was so overwhelmed by the process. I recently attended a workshop where the process was really clarified & I finally felt confident to take the next step + I finally have enough financial capacity… so I took the leap! hoping to have the name change official by the end of the year!
I recently came out with a book & on the book, I was allowed to use my “pen name†(so I chose my desired name!) & after this process is done- my legal & pen names will match!
finally, I’m really stepping in to my authentic self! 🌈 & embracing my true identity! after a lifetime (thus far) of suppressing her to please others.
