  • Bisexual Visibility - A Double-Edged Sword? (Bonus w/ worksheet download)
    May 1 2025

    Free worksheet download link included!


    In this episode, we explore the “paradox of visibility” within the LGBTQ+ community—especially for those of us who are bisexual/bi+/pan and feel misrepresented in the world at large.


    Visibility is be a powerful statement of existence and self-worth. Yet it also comes with risks: being seen can make you a target and a political scapegoat, while being erased and overlooked can lead to feels of despair and unworthiness.


    Drawing on personal reflections, Ross introduces a companion to visibility: embodiment. Rather than asking to be acknowledged, embodiment asks us to discover ourselves from the inside out to take inventory of what we need.


    He discusses how institutions and mainstream narratives weren’t built with our particular life experiences in mind, why external validation alone falls short, and how cultivating a sense of wholeness and "glow" can transform both our lives and the people around us.


    Tune in to learn practical questions for distinguishing whether you’re acting to “be seen” or to “feel more like yourself."
