In this episode of Don't Change a Thing, a solo Elisa goes deep with Jeffrey Marsh, the non-binary author and life coach—not to mention viral TikTok star—who wasn’t always the ray of sunshine you see today. Growing up, Jeffrey’s visible queerness made them a target, and their isolation and pain led them to a place of despair where they were forced to denounce everything about themselves that was supposedly ‘too’ much. But, they did realize their otherness held great power; anytime they entered a room, they had the ability to make time churn to a halt as adults couldn’t help but notice their authenticity.Fast-forward many years, and Jeffrey is all about leaning into that ‘too’: too’ queer, ‘too’ non-binary, ‘too’ fabulous, ‘too’ self-accepting. Zen Buddhism has helped quiet their hate-filled inner voices that had been drowning them for far too long, and now Jeffrey is devoted to spreading unconditional love while helping us all hate ourselves a little less.Watch the video version of the podcast: YouTube.com/StyleLikeUFOLLOW STYLELIKEU: @stylelikeu SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER: StyleLikeU.comFOLLOW JEFFREY MARSH: @thejeffreymarshSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
