AUDACITY
a HANDS-ON GROUP COURSE
FOR MARGINALIZED PEOPLE
WHO ARE ACHING TO BE FREE.
What will it take to become more unapologetic, more free and more YOU -
not just with one person, or in a few safe spaces,
but everywhere you go?
✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️♿️
As marginalized humans,
we all have moments
we leave ourselves behind.
You know what I mean, don’t you?
Times that you…
…suppress who you really are
…don’t speak your mind
…let yourself be used or mistreated
…contort yourself to fit someone else’s mold
…ignore your own needs, wants, desires
And whether you do this
everywhere,
or just sometimes
and with some people
It hurts every. single. time.
If you’re here,
it means you’re done
leaving parts of you behind.
You want to walk
into every situation,
and trust yourself to:
…show up whole
…know your mind
…have your own back
…act in your values
…and stay true to yourself
No exceptions.
Welcome to
AUDACITY
YOU
GORGEOUS.
FUCKING.
HUMAN.
In 7 months,
with 9 other marginalized people by your side,
and 2 leaders teaching and guiding you…
you’re about to find the change you’re looking for.
Let’s go.
“I feel like I burst out of a box I’ve been trying to burst out of for some time. GOODBYE, USELESS BOX.”
- a participant -
Let’s start with a
little self-check ✓
How many of these do YOU do?
(★ Bonus points if you rock all 9 ★)
perception-tracking
I scan and track people’s reactions, to figure out what they think of me or want from me.
self-monitoring
I monitor MYSELF to keep things in check and show up “right.” I replay and ruminate afterwards.
scenario-mapping
I try to predict every possible outcome for every possible choice I could make.
self-minimization
I’m quick to minimize or doubt my inner experience: perspective, desires, opinions, thoughts and emotions.
misplaced responsibility
I keep trying to singlehandedly fix and change the outside factors that make my life painful - other people, toxic institutions, systems of oppression.
condition-seeking
I’ll only express myself fully if ALL the conditions are right and safe. I spend a lot of time testing the waters, or trying to find/create the conditions I need.
self-contortion
I contort & suppress myself to avoid negative reactions, criticism and conflict. Like a human pretzel.
shape-shifting
I turn myself into a version of me that’s acceptable to whoever I’m around. Like a magnificent chameleon.
tightrope-walking
I’m constantly searching for the sweet spot where others think I’m good enough, but not being too much.
Creepily on-point?
Those are all symptoms
of something we call
ECHOLOCATION
A million ways you shape yourself
based off the cues other people give you.
It’s actually genius, if you think about it.
How brilliantly you - as a marginalized human -
adapted to handle your oppressors’ unpredictable behavior.
But if you really want to be yourself
you’ve got to take YOU back
from everyone else.
That’s what AUDACITY will teach you.
“This gave my life a good shake in the most affirming, caring way possible.Very annoying, Meera and Eliot.”
- a participant -
Get ready for
a change
By the end of July,
instead of all that other shit…
you’ll know how to walk
into any situation
and stay anchored
in yourself
BEING
I stay rooted in what I know to be true within myself
DOING
I make choices that feel right and aligned to ME,
and feel at peace with them.
BELONGING
I love and trust myself. I feel a right to be expressed and known.
That’s how you’ll go…
-
You’ll go from “I’m keeping others comfortable at my expense” to “I’m claiming space unapologetically.”
-
No more getting sucked in and coerced by other people’s reactivity, toxicity, fragility, or unwillingness to take responsibility for themselves.
No more confusion about what you want, or what you have a right to expect.
You’ll know how to hold on to your own perspective, and make mindful choices on your own terms.
-
Taking up space doesn’t mean doing the most all the time, or constantly swooping in to save the day for others. You’ll recognize when to preserve your energy, and say no without guilt.
-
No more looking “out there” for permission, answers, and validation - you’ll learn to turn YOURSELF for those things, and make choices rooted in self-trust and inner authority.
-
No more hiding parts of yourself or trying to fit in to avoid rejection. As you practice showing up real with your cohort, you’ll know what it feels like to be seen and known for who you are…and start to feel braver in your day-to-day life.
-
Oppression is real. Some days will suck. You’re not going to do any of this perfectly - now or ever. But instead of blaming yourself or falling into despair, you’ll learn to meet those moments with compassion, courage, HUMOR and self-trust.
-
Instead of constantly analyzing oppression and thinking about liberation in theory, you’ll have day-to-day experiences that feel like freedom and ease (EVEN WHEN THE WORLD SUCKS).
“When I look at where I was and where I am now – it feels like I’ve moved from a plea to a proclamation. From “I WANT to matter” to I DESERVE...”
- a participant -
How you get there
In AUDACITY, you’ll experience a hands-on, bit-by-bit process that gets you real change.
Here’s what we guide you through:
And here’s what
you’ll EXPERIENCE
as we do it!
“Getting a lot of different chances to show up in a group where you’re WANTING to be yourself is such a big deal. You’re like OH, I want to do this, but I don’t know how to. It’s felt really important to show up and make choices with a group of people I want to belong to.”
We do this thing in bite-size pieces.
On each call, we teach you some solid shit.
Ask you to reflect on a question or two.
Invite you to toy with a new idea.
All focused on how you navigate being YOU.
Each thing builds on the last, so you’re never overwhelmed.
But every week,
the most important magic starts
when WE shut up
and YOU start to think together.
Integration conversations about where this stuff shows up in your life.
Collectively helping each other with a tool or skill.
When you realize something out loud and everyone starts nodding and adding on.
“I remember, people would share things they had written down, and I would think OH MY GOD, ME TOO!! ME TOO!! And I felt a lot of connection…”
“In our Signal chat, people would say “I was dealing with this thing yesterday, and I just pictured all your faces ...” That makes such a difference. I have this team, and I show up and we’re working on this together. It’s not just me – and just knowing that helped me cement and integrate the learning.”
In AUDACITY
you’ll practice the thing
you’re trying to do…
AS YOU LEARN TO DO IT.
You’ll experiment with actually showing up as you are
(flopped in bed! fidgeting! just blurting things out!)
as you muddle through new stuff together
- and be 100% seen and celebrated for it.
The more you experiment,
the more you’ll feel what it’s like
to let yourself be freer.
And the more you know what it feels like,
the easier it gets to actually DO.
FUCK YEAH, NEUROPLASTICITY!!!
“As I felt the right to express myself authentically in this group, I found myself wanting to do the same outside of here – and I started to do that.”
Facilitated learning helps
you take new ideas
and make them your own
…right away, and YOUR way.
Which is the WHOLE POINT OF AUDACITY!
To learn to do shit your own way,
and on your own terms.
With your cohort at your back
supporting and celebrating you,
you’ll start to get braver in your day-to-day life.
And you’ll learn what REAL solidarity feels like.
That’s why we sometimes call AUDACITY a “group rebellion” instead of a “course.”
And we can’t wait for you to experience it.
“We have a common enemy, folks, and we all had to navigate that together. No bullshit about the bullshit, and that felt SO GOOD.”
“I’m thrilled that I committed to this despite feeling like I had little capacity for it - it was even more empowering than I could have hoped for. I knew that I’d be given tools for self-liberation, but I could not have predicted how much freer I already feel.This will continue to shape how I view myself and move through the world.”
- a participant -
Time to decide
what YOU want next
“This is the first group I’ve EVER been in where every single person in the group is so solid. Every person is so self-aware of their shit. And I really, really needed that from a community right now. It’s been so easy to invest in people who seem ready to be vulnerable AND ready to be in resistance with me.”
- a participant -
EXCITED? CURIOUS?
We CAN’T WAIT TO MEET YOU!
We officially open up our 2027 cohort on December 2nd.
Join our waitlist so Meera can email you that day!
Meera and Eliot

MEERA ✊🏽🏳️🌈
You’re on my website, so you already know a lot about me!
The idea for AUDACITY was born when I started to track similar patterns and themes across my 1-1 clients - how they engaged with oppression, the shit that held them back, and ways they got free.
I started to wonder:
…could I create a step-by-step way to intentionally LEAD marginalized people towards this kind of change?
…and help us develop the PRACTICAL skills to stay true to ourselves in a fucked-up world?
…and also help us KNOW we’re not alone? As we explore, experiment and grow in solidarity with others like us?
The answer is FUCK YES. I can’t wait to support you!!

ELIOT 🏳️⚧️
Eliot is a trans guy, a therapist for queer and gender-diverse folks, and a former professor of Education.
He’s also my spouse.
Eliot brings:
🌱 …warmth, humor, and a deeply attuned presence to our calls.
🌱 …his lived experience as a trans man who grew up in the south.
🌱 …his professional knowledge of trauma, attachment and compassionate change.
Eliot ensures that as you challenge and change yourself through this work, you’re not pushing too hard, too fast, OR BEING AN ASSHOLE TO YOURSELF.

OUR POWERS COMBINED
As a duo, we’re:
- skilled at what we do
- excellent facilitators
- have complementary styles
- really, really like and respect each other (no awkward dynamics, y’all!)But the real power of this work
is that we’re in it with you.…navigating the same systems and dynamics as you.
…trying to show up whole, just like you.
…practicing these skills, just like you.
You can’t teach this work well unless you also embody it.
So in this space, we teach and lead by example.
We can’t wait to meet THE REAL YOU!!!!
Common concerns
-
Most liberatory spaces focus on the BELIEFS we’ve learned from oppressive systems.
That work is really powerful, but still often leaves us stuck.
You can intellectually critique your internalized capitalism all day long, but still find yourself saying “yes” to every crappy project your boss dumps on you. What gives?
That’s what we’re about.
Instead of beliefs, AUDACITY is all about the self-abandoning shit we’ve taught ourselves to DO as we survive the day-to-day crap we’re in.
We’re laser focused on the things you’re doing, and all the million itty-bitty actions that lead to those behaviors.
This is about interrupting all the shit you DON’T want to do, and replacing it with new skills.
Which ultimately changes how you treat yourself, show up for yourself and… yes…THINK of yourself.
And we do it all in bite-sized steps that make it possible to change (without getting overwhelmed).
-
We’ve designed AUDACITY to fit into the life you’re living, not to exist in a vacuum.
We’re not talking in theories or ideas. We’re making practical change in your actual real life.
This is the shit you’re ALREADY dealing with every day.
So for 90 minutes, once a week, you’ll be focused on things that are already on your mind anyway.
Our experience is that people quickly CRAVE this time together.
We’ve had folks sign on to calls from trains, parked cars, and even an airport terminal once.
It’s the one place you get to talk about this shit in a real way with people who GET IT.
(And if you ever miss a call, you’ve got the replay!)
-
You’re in good company. People who share the struggle of feeling safe to show up as yourself!
You should know: we don’t do contrived or forced vulnerability (ew!).
Instead, you build connections ORGANICALLY together. As we tackle these struggles piece by piece, you’ll end up naturally getting to know each other - without ever forcing yourself to share - and bit by bit, you’ll build trust and safety!
It’s like a real-life canvas
where you get to experiment with showing up as your real self
as you learn about
showing up as your real self
with a group of peers
who are also trying to figure out
how to show up as THEIR real selves.(Say what? You might need to re-read that a couple of times)
-
You’ve probably been in spaces where someone just presents at you. Boring.
OR spaces where someone is getting 1-1 support around something so lengthy and specific you space out.
You won’t experience EITHER of those things here.
Our calls are DYNAMIC.
We teach you a little bite-sized thing. A question, or a skill.
Then it’s time to explore: we give you some short prompts. Where’s this shit coming up in your life?
Now you and your cohort-friends are talking about it. What’s clicking? What’s this making you think about?
Sometimes we’re playing with a skill or tool together!
-
Uhhhh- NO.
Seriously, though - we want this work to make you uncoerce-able.
Throughout the months we spend together we will ask…again and again…how the concept or skill we’re talking about applies to YOU.
But also what DOESN’T apply to you.
We don’t just ask consent (although we do that a lot) - we’re teaching you to always, always, ALWAYS return to and anchor your actions in your own perspective and self-trust.
And you get to practice that in our space.
So no, AUDACITY isn’t a cult.
But our goal is for you to become so, so anchored in yourself…that if we WERE a cult, you’d tell us to go fuck ourselves the moment we pulled some sketchy shit.
-
S lost their abuela two months into our work, and found themself grieving.
P unexpectedly lost their housing and had to scramble for shelter.
R’s workplace had drama, and they suddenly lost all work-life balance.
In all three cases, we helped people figure out what they needed from the group NOW, in those new circumstances.
Remember: AUDACITY is all about showing up in real situations without abandoning yourself, so we’ve designed it to adapt to whatever’s happening for you in real time.
When things change, you don’t just stubbornly plod along pretending everything’s the same.
We adjust to meet reality.
Time to get practical: DATES and RATES!
“This is raising the bar, especially around what can be done virtually.
In my workplace, there’s so much “OH, you can’t do it online. You can’t build these kind of connections or have these deep conversations.” But after AUDACITY, I know you CAN have that depth of connection on screen, and it can be cultivated. It IS possible.”
