This is a personal guide that helps you confront who you are, accept who you are, and love yourself so you can watch your dreams and achievements bloom. Jillian Celentano spent most of her life not accepting who she was. From the time she began her transition at age 55, she has managed to live authentically as her true self. In this helpful and practical guide, she offers advice to other people going through similar processes later in life.

Drawing on her personal experiences, she explores topics such as coming out to children, spouses, and family, admitting the process at work, finding your authentic voice, experimenting with styles and clothing, and your first public appearance. She explains how to deal with doubt and discrimination, physical discomfort, and the importance of maintaining physical and mental health. With honesty and warmth, this book will support readers on their journey to self-love, happiness, and acceptance.
