Coming Out, Autism Diagnosis & Showing Up Authentically Online with Keara
Tue Feb 03 2026
In this episode, we sit down with Keara to talk about her coming out journey, receiving an autism diagnosis, and what it really means to share your life on the internet. As someone who shows up honestly and openly online, Keara offers a powerful perspective on identity, self-discovery, and visibility.
We dive into her experience coming out, navigating life with an autism diagnosis, and how understanding herself more deeply has shaped the way she moves through the world. Keara also opens up about the realities of sharing personal moments online, the connection it creates, the boundaries it requires, and the pressure that can come with being seen.
Keara shares her thoughts on authenticity, representation, and learning to advocate for yourself in spaces that don’t always make room for neurodivergent voices. This conversation is vulnerable, grounding, and a reminder that self-acceptance is an ongoing journey, and that sharing our stories can help others feel less alone.
