You deserve to live as your authentic self. This guide gives you a clear, compassionate roadmap to come out to the people who matter most — while protecting your safety, your mental health, and your relationships.
Jordan Ellis spent over a decade working directly with LGBTQ+ individuals navigating one of life’s most vulnerable moments — coming out. After witnessing the fear, isolation, and lack of practical resources people faced, Jordan created the Outing Yourself system to fill that gap with real, actionable guidance rooted in lived experience and professional expertise.
This isn’t a textbook. It’s a compassionate companion written by someone who understands the weight of the closet — and the extraordinary freedom that waits on the other side.
Background & Credentials
Coming out isn’t just about a single conversation — it’s about unlocking a life where you no longer carry the weight of hiding. Here’s what becomes possible.
Stop the exhausting daily performance of pretending to be someone you’re not. Experience the relief and calm that comes from finally being honest with yourself and others.
Studies show that living openly dramatically reduces anxiety, depression, and stress. You’ll feel lighter, sleep better, and reclaim the mental energy you’ve been spending on secrecy.
When people know the real you, your connections become genuine. Many find that coming out actually strengthens their most important relationships over time.
There’s nothing more powerful than owning your identity. Coming out builds a foundation of self-respect and courage that transforms every area of your life.
You’ll discover you’re far from alone. Coming out opens the door to a vibrant, supportive community of people who understand your journey and celebrate you.
Chronic stress from hiding takes a toll on your body. Living authentically has been linked to lower blood pressure, stronger immunity, and better overall health outcomes.
Readers consistently tell us the same thing: the anticipation was the hardest part. Within weeks of coming out, most people describe a profound sense of relief. Within months, their relationships, confidence, and overall happiness are transformed in ways they never expected.
“I’d been terrified of telling my parents for years. This guide gave me the exact words and the courage to finally do it. My mum cried, hugged me, and said she already knew. I wish I’d done it sooner. The safety checklist alone was worth everything.”
“Coming out in a corporate environment felt impossible until I read the workplace chapter. Knowing my legal rights and having a strategy made all the difference. My colleagues were far more supportive than I ever imagined.”
“As a non-binary person, I felt like most resources weren’t written for me. This one was. It helped me explain my identity in a way people could actually understand, and the mental health section genuinely saved me during the hardest weeks.”
Four clear steps between where you are now and the freedom of being fully yourself.

Safety is our number-one priority. The guide includes a comprehensive safety assessment checklist that helps you evaluate your living situation, financial dependence, and family dynamics before you have any conversations. It then provides specific scripts and strategies for dozens of different family scenarios — from supportive parents to conservative households — so you can choose the approach that fits your situation.
Yes. Outing Yourself covers coming out as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, queer, pansexual, asexual, and more. Every chapter addresses the unique challenges and language that apply to different identities, so the guidance always feels personal and relevant to you.
That’s completely okay, and the guide is designed for exactly that stage too. It includes a readiness self-assessment, mental health preparation strategies, and advice on building a support system before you come out. Many readers use the guide for weeks or months before they’re ready to take the step — there is no pressure and no timeline.
The guide has an entire chapter dedicated to workplace coming out, including how to research your legal protections, read your company culture, identify allies, and handle potential pushback professionally. It also covers what to do if you face discrimination — with practical steps and resources for every scenario.
