#7 - Braving the Spotlight as a Queer Woman - Al Start's Britain's Got Talent Journey

  • Summary

  • From Braver Women to Britain's Got Talent

    What does it take to step onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage and perform in front of millions? Confidence. But not just any confidence—the kind built from the inside out.

    In this exclusive episode of The Braver Women Show, I sit down with Al Start, a much loved gay singer-songwriter, composer, musician and published author, who used the Braver Women Journal for LGBTQ+ women to silence her limiting beliefs, step onto the Apollo Theatre stage in London, and perform with Ravi’s Dream Team Choir on Britain's Got Talent—winning the Golden Buzzer from Alesha Dixon! 🌟🎶

    With Simon Cowell watching, Al took that stage, surrounded by powerful voices, but fully stepping into her own. What you didn’t see on TV was the deep self-work that made it possible. In this episode, we talk about:

    🔹 How the Braver Women Journal helped her silence limiting beliefs and take the stage
    🔹 The emotional road to self-belief and stepping up braver as a gay woman
    🔹 What it felt like to perform on a televised stage, hear the crowd roar, and watch that golden confetti fall

    If fear has ever whispered, You’re not good enough—this episode is for you. Al’s journey is a powerful reminder that bravery isn’t about being fearless but showing up despite the fear.

    🎧 Tune in now and be inspired to take your own bold leap!
