Featured in leading publications like CEO Magazine and Luxury Lifestyle Magazine, Kevin Loeffler (they/themme) is the Founder and CEO of Finally Kevin!, an inspirational Gender Identity speaker, and author of the upcoming book, "Finally Kevin\u201d (Spring 2025). Kevin's unique journey allows audiences of all generations to understand what gender identity is and, just as importantly, what it is not. Kevin empowers parents and community leaders, regardless of age or background, with the knowledge necessary to increase authentic allyship skills for their gender-diverse loved ones. For almost 50 years, Kevin lived as the person they thought their parents, wives, children, and employers wanted them to be, never daring to be their authentic selves in front of any of them. Their heartwarming story of choosing to live as their transparent self by announcing their gender identity to the world at the age of 63 has landed them numerous media and speaking opportunities.\xa0\nI was introduced to Kevin by friend of the SMA and past guest of the show, Elena Joy Thurston.\xa0While Kevin and I recorded this episode a few months ago, I saved it to release during Pride Month because it feels like the perfect closing to this special month.\xa0Happy Pride to all our LGBTQIA+ community members.\xa0We love you and want you to be 100% you 100% of the time.\xa0\xa0\n\nListen in to hear Kevin share:\n\nHow Kevin became Finally Kevin! and what their transformation as a non-binary person has looked like\xa0\n\nWhat led them to start to live their femme tendencies out loud after 50 years\n\nThe interconnectedness between shame and addiction in Kevin\u2019s life\xa0\n\nThe difference between gender identity and sexual orientation\n\nThe beauty and power of being able to finally \u201cget out of bed free\u201d\xa0\n\nWhat life feels like to finally be Kevin after 50 years of stifling Kevin\n\nHow LinkedIn became the safe place for Kevin to begin to own their identity publicly\n\n\nLinks mentioned:\n\nKevin\u2019s Programs and Resources: Finallykevin.com\n\nKevin on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinmloeffler\n\n\nKevin on FB: https://www.facebook.com/kmloeffler/\n\n\n\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
