Life (UN)Closeted
Living A Bold Life with No Excuses. No Apologies.
No More Mediocre Living
You're done. Done just dreaming and not doing. Done apologizing for living life your way. Done shrinking your light for the comfort of others.
In Life (Un)Closeted, host Rick Clemons and his guests share bold, badass moves for coming out and owning your individuality. Each episode takes you on a brash, fun, and in-your-face storytelling ride to help you escape the crazy, limiting thoughts keeping you stuck and afraid.

You’ll never make a bold move, take that risk, or do what you say you’re going to do unless you just say, screw it, good enough is good enough. But why do we not let that truly be our mantra? Why can’t we just say I’m going to take action, do what needs to be…
My ego has almost killed me. Several times in my life. Then I started to see it as a wake up call to bigger things. To more honest and authentic ways of showing up in the world. It still gets in the way, but what happens when you finally realize your ego can be your…

Do the time. Tow the line. And of course, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” All great words of wisdom. But when you’re in the struggle, no words seem to do the trick. That’s why changing your perspective, and seeing struggle as a gift can make all the difference in the world.…

You do what you believe you’re meant to do – follow a certain career path, pursue the love of your life, build a family you’ve always dreamed of, and plan for retirement. That’s all good, but what happens when you still feel empty, unfulfilled, and no joy? Or even better yet, what happens when you…

It’s hot. You’re cranky. Hormones are raging. You’re not pregnant. Your body says it going to mess with ya on a daily basis. And on top of that you just feel like you need a IV of Martini’s to make it through the day. Hello! Welcome to menopause…and boy does that closet suck. But not…

What turns you on? Sex? Passions? Dreams? Or maybe it’s living a nomad, gypsy like life where you allow life to just take you where it feels right. Everything from your career and goals to how you love as a polyamorous person, to being cozy in your bisexuality. Yeah. It’s totally about living life based…
Have you ever found yourself saying, “No,” and then realizing you wish you’d said yes. Or maybe, doing the reverse. Saying “Yes,” when you wish you’d said, “No?” Of course you have. We all do. In fact I just did it this week and it got me thinking, “Rick, you gotta learn to say No!”…
What is my passion? Why do I struggle to follow mine? Is passion necessary for me to have a happy life? These are all questions that most of us ask ourselves each and every day in the pursuit of passion and purpose. But what do you do when you find passion elusive? You make it…
It’s spring. Bold colors are starting to pop up everywhere you look (hopefully). And, with the onset of spring it got me thinking, what does BOLD mean to me, and why is it important to really understand that for myself. In today’s rant and riff I share my perspective of the word BOLD. Yes those…
Waterpolo, Law, and plans…nothing is as it seems. But what’s the deal with plans…why are they so damn important…or not? Maybe because we think if we have them, we don’t ever have to make a decision again, until you realize that you chose a job, but not a life. From bad ass to bad life,…
A friend of mine inspired this rant. It’s about allowing the past to catch up to your present so that you can make the BOLD MOVE you are meant to make. In Barbara’s journey she came back to her roots and then made the bold move to uncloset her beliefs and fears to do the…

Bravo. Bravo. Bravo. So proud of our youth for taking a stand and saying enough is enough. #NATIONALWALKOUTDAY occurred just two days ago, yet the impact will move on…or at least let’s hope so. In fact, that is what this movement, like so many others, is all about…HOPE! Whether you agree with them or not,…
If you don’t respect yourself ain’t nobody else going to respect ya either…no matter how pretty yo face is or isn’t.
