Helping queer people build clarity, confidence, self-awareness and self-trust - so you can stop performing and start living as who you are, unapologetically.
Tarun Misra is a certified queer life coach and storyteller who helps people untangle the fears, doubts, and stories that keep them from living as their fullest selves. His work is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and the belief that every queer person deserves to feel at home in who they are.
Before becoming a coach, Tarun spent years exploring the intersections of design, psychology, and identity - learning how self-expression can be a form of healing. He holds a BBA LLB (Hons) from the National Law University, Odisha and a Master of Design from the National Institute of Fashion Technology, Kannur. His background helps him bridge structure with sensitivity - guiding people to find both clarity and emotional ease.
Through his campaign Queerways, Tarun creates conversations around self-acceptance, relationships, and everyday queer life in India. Whether in coaching sessions or creative projects, his goal remains the same - to help others own their stories, and through them, own themselves.

"Tarun has been my guiding light as he held my hand as I delved into my mind, a first for me. It made me understand myself, made me identify my own patterns and helped me steer my life into a direction I always wanted it to go. He has been absolutely amazing. Non judgemental, always a good listener and the conversation always feels very warm, intimate and fruitful."

"Thanks, your session has helped me to understand myself and find the solution within myself. Today not only me, my colleagues are also seeing changes in my increased confidence and seeing boundaries and considering my limitations."

"Coaching with Tarun helped me see my life from a different lens. To introspect, to be comfortable in most uncomfortable situations, and most importantly - to step into my power and realise not all battles are meant to be fought. That I can simply let things be - rise, shine and do what I can control."
