It's time to unleash your abundant potential
it's time for your Second Coming Out
Join this Research-Backed, Transformational Cohort, Exclusively for Gay Men
Doors Open August 22, 2023
I got more out of the first day of the 2nd Coming Out Program than I've gotten from years of therapy.
IT'S TIME TO CREATE THE LIFE YOU WERE MEANT FOR
In 8 weeks we are going to completely transform how you see yourself and the world – so that you can attract abundance for every area of your life.
It’s time to take a step toward discovering who you are without the whispers of fear and shame that have been holding you back.
It’s time to begin looking at what makes you different as your superpower.
It’s time to embrace who you already know you are – and to embrace the beauty of who you are!
It’s time to create a legacy of leadership, community, generosity, meaning, and love.
It’s time for you to thrive in a way that brings you a deep sense of meaningful satisfaction.
It’s time to do the work of breaking free from the mindsets that are holding you back, keeping you stuck, and making you feel small.
It’s time to start creating the life you are meant for.
It’s time for a 2nd Coming Out.
ONCE YOU COME OUT,
THERE'S NO GOING BACK
- You will never see a problem the same way again
- You will unburden yourself of self-sabotaging mindsets
- You will discover a path forward that will unlock a new life
Once you’re given access to a new way to look at the world, there’s no un-seeing it. A new version of you will emerge.
Are you ready to discover another level of life design?Â
Are you ready to unlock the possibilities for your life?Â
IT'S TIME TO MAKE CHANGE FOR GOOD
The 2nd Coming Out curriculum has been designed to help you embrace your power, express your personal freedom, build deeper relationships, and gain confidence in who you are and what you can create in life.
Over the course of 8-weeks, you will…
- transform how you see yourself and your place in the world.
- discover how you can exercise the impact and influence necessary to change your world.
- discover new ways to express yourself, what makes you feel separate, and how you can bridge the gap between the way life is for you now, and how you would like it to be.
Using a research-based curriculum, our work together will uncover what’s holding you back, equip you with the tools to move you forward and reveal how you can overcome anything that might stand in your way.Â
We will work together to discover the parts of you that need to be unleashed if you are to create the future you want. A future of better mental wellness, better relationships, a better relationship with yourself, and better strategies for day-to-day living.

WHAT ARE GRADUATES SAYING?
Attending this event was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Chad’s presentation and coaching style offered a perfect blend of information and discussion, challenge and encouragement. Through his leadership and input from other participants, I was able to identify and begin addressing negative mindsets holding me back from achieving a sense of personal freedom. I walked away feeling more confident than ever that I can create a life I’ve only dreamed about.

Chad, what you’re talking about has really echoed in my life and spoken to me. Thank you for sharing and putting into words what so many of us feel.
Jacob P.
Advertising Executive
I learned that it’s OK to ask for what you want. I will be more direct in my interactions with others.
Jessie
I think the reason Chad wins over a crowd so easily is not just because his content is golden, but because of his delivery. I have heard thousands of speakers deliver quality content, but the delivery can be arrogant or underwhelming. Chad’s delivery is the perfect combination of entertaining, authentic, relatable and helpful. He truly captures a crowd.

THE TOOLS OF TRANSFORMATION
Our curriculum for this program will be rooted in the research-based methods found in my book, Break & Untangle, as well as my proprietary Mindset Methods Matrix.
During our time together you can expect to:
- Exercise the untapped parts of your personality
- Create a vision for the future you want to create
- Identify the 4-5 persistent resistances holding you back
- Discover the tools that will make you unstoppable
There are 3 categories of mindsets that form the foundation of our work together. Within each of these categories of Self, Strategy, and Social are inherited mindsets that are holding you back from the future you want to create. When you uncover these mindsets and replace them with more supportive, more reaffirming, and a more honest assessment of reality – potential gets unleashed.
At The 2nd Coming Out we will cross-reference these 3 categories of mindsets with the basic cognitive behaviorism framework that informs how we understand our emotions, behavior, desire, and beliefs.
By doing this work together, you’ll discover what areas in your life need change – and which ones are demanding transformation (a powerful distinction that we will make early on Day 1 of the event).Â
SELF
you must be aware of the influence your history has on how you are showing up in the world in the here and now
STRATEGY
you must have a plan –
know what will help you navigate your world and better care for yourself
SOCIAL
you must connect & relate to other people in a new and meaningful way
WHO TEACHES THE
2nd COMING OUT PROGRAM?
Hi! My name is Chad Peevy, I’m the author of the bestselling book, Break & Untangle, I’m an award-winning speaker on the topic of human behavior, creator of the 2nd Coming Out Program – and I’ll be personally teaching your 2nd Coming Out Program experience.
A little about me…
After earning a Master’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin, I founded several businesses and nonprofits.
Among these are the Austin PRIDE Foundation, as well as the in-house marketing agency for the world’s largest real estate office, an online training company, and, with my husband, The PS Foundation for the Arts.
Drawing on my personal and professional background and experience I now help people like us root out and replace damaging beliefs with healthy mindsets.
I am fortunate enough to work with all sort of people from diverse background and with companies and organizations large and small.
But it hasn’t always been that way…
Growing up wasn’t easy for me. I was a gay kid in rural Arkansas being raised by a physically and emotionally abusive father. My whole life was based on survival. I developed a lot of ways of coping with life that were based on that survival.
When I left the home I grew up in, the survival techniques I picked up there followed me. The mindsets that had once protected me were now sabotaging me.
When I discovered the mindset methods I write about in Break & Untangle, everything in my life changed.
But I’m going to be honest with you…the depression didn’t completely go away. The anxiety still shows up sometimes. But what changed was the fact that I experience them differently.
I still get stuck sometimes, but I know how to navigate through the stuckness.
I still feel lonely sometimes – but I know how to recognize it and deal with it when it shows up now. And that little difference changed absolutely everything in my life.
Knowing myself better – and how to help myself – has allowed me to create a different kind of life experience. One that has allowed me to find love, find success, and create a legacy that I’m proud of.Â
The first thing you’ll notice about my process is that I’m not selling you some magical destination where you’ll never struggle, and your life will be rainbows and kittens from now to eternity.
You won’t find any of that B.S. on any of the 394 pages of the book – you won’t find it in my programs or at my events.
What you will find is a guide for the journey. An actual method for making your life work better.
A way to look at life.
A way to navigate life (on the good days and bad).
A way to discover or rediscover parts of yourself that got lost somewhere along your path.
You’re going to discover a new lens through which you’ll see your life.
You’ll gain perspective and clarity. Ways of thinking that will help you – and give you the language to create more productive relationships around you.
When you do the work, you’ll begin to experience your life differently. Opportunities will show up. Life starts to make more sense. And relationships feel deeper and more meaningful.
In the book I write about the 3 selves that we all carry around with us; the younger, present, and future self.
The big secret is that oftentimes, we let the younger self drive our lives. We let that scared little kid that’s still in our head make the grown-up decisions of today.
Trouble is, that scared little kid is still trying to survive. That little kid is making bad decisions that are meant to protect you – but are in fact holding you back from feeling more alive, having deeper relationships, and from feeling a sense of real meaning and purpose in your life.
In The 2nd Coming Out Program – together we’ll do the work necessary to get your life working better. We’ll create a vision of the future you want for yourself, the people you care about, and the world.
Let’s do the hard and necessary work of protecting that younger self. Let’s give that younger self a sense of safety and security so that who you are today can thrive and live your life fully.
Let’s get to work creating a world for that future self that you’re proud of – that you’re in love with – that brings you meaningful satisfaction.
That work has allowed me to be recognized by coaches masterminds, prominent associations, media, and Fortune 500 Companies. It has also given me the gift of being able to work with thousands of high-performing professionals from around the world, including top-producing real estate professionals, medical professionals, and world-renowned artists – helping them achieve greater clarity, perspective, and overall well-being.Â
I’m honored to be a part of your journey and I look forward to seeing what kind of world you create.

We didn’t choose this life we were thrown into.Â
- We didn't choose where or when we would be born.
- We didn't choose our parents.
- We didn't choose to be gay.
- We didn't even choose our own name.
And yet – we’ll spend much of our life trying to make sense of this human experience based on what we were thrown into.
But very little of what we see and saw role-modeled matches our own lived experience.Â
Because the truth is – we are different. Our human experience – being gay – is different.
Different doesn’t mean bad.
In fact – when we recognize that our difference is what makes us extraordinary – we can thrive.
Who would you be without the expectations that you and others have put on you? What kind of life would you create?Â
Isn’t it time to be the person you have worked so hard to become?
It’s time for a 2nd Coming Out.Â
WHAT IF EVERYTHING
COULD CHANGE FOR YOU?
Too many of us grew up feeling like we had to hide parts of ourselves in order to fit in.Â
- Some of us got so caught up trying to please others that we don’t even know our own passion or purpose.
- Some of us got really good at something we could show off – so that we could hide something we didn’t want people to see.
- And for some of us, the pain of being betrayed by those who were supposed to love us unconditionally has left us feeling unable to trust anyone to love us for who we truly are.
These kinds of trouble are fertile ground for anxiety, depression, loneliness, and shame.Â
The consequences of that can be things like…
- Feeling stuck.
- Frustration with relationships.
- Anxiety about how to navigate family.
- Craving deeper meaning in your life.
- Unsure of what you want.
- You might sometimes say to yourself, "I thought I would be farther along at this age."
Deep down, you know exactly what you need to do in every one of these circumstances.Â
But you stop yourself short of taking action.Â
The truth is, it’s time for you to change how you see your life and make a choice:
The CHOICE is this...
Do I want to wake up every day and SUFFER FROM?
(suffer from thoughts of what should have been, could have been, or ought to be?)
Or do I want to SUFFER TOWARD?
(suffer toward creating the life that I want for myself, the people I love, the causes I care about?)
IMAGINE
THIS...
Imagine the life you would create…
- Not a life where you live in reaction to your past.
- The life that you live FULLY and without apology.
- Not the life where you're playing small.
- The life where you're showing up as all of you - the fully expressed version of you!
- Not the life where you're being who you think others expect you to be.
- The life that you're living on purpose!
- Not the life with all that fear and shame.
- The life of joy and love and deep connection with others!
What would you do with that life? What would you go out and create? Can you imagine that life?
It’s time for the 2nd Coming Out!
YOU'RE NOT BROKEN
Too many of us have lived in survival mode for so long that we don’t know how to create a life that is focused on thriving.
We keep SUFFERING FROM because we’re stuck in survival mode.Â
We’re letting the younger version self drive our lives. That scared little kid – who is just trying to protect us – is making the grown-up decisions of today.Â
Those decisions that are meant to protect us are the very ones holding us back from feeling more alive, having deeper relationships, and from feeling a sense of real meaning and purpose in our life.
As gay men, we have to reach a place where we accept that we are not broken. There’s nothing wrong with us. And when you discover that, and you really believe it, you’ll have created room in your life for everything you’ve been putting off.Â
The experience of this program is like rediscovering your authentic self. But this time, it’s about more than your sexual preference – it’s about you – the real you.
