Overcoming Bullies and Building an Empowered Life

Hey there. My name is Heath Brockwell. Growing up as a queer and dyslexic kid, I faced tormentors and locker room taunts. Living with a stepdad who wanted nothing to do with me did not help matters. In fact, I was so overwhelmed in sixth grade, I would down bottles of Pepto Bismol to calm my stomach. Little did I know these obstacles would help me define and build my future world.

My dream was to be creative, work in magazines, and be surrounded by people I love.  I grew up to be a digital brand builder and creative entrepreneur. The people who love me are my biggest cheerleaders. My husband (we’re going on 28 years together) is at the top of my squad. The oppressors never went away, but now I’m better equipped to deal with them.

I’ve taken all that I’ve learned  and created The New Maturity. I’ll show how we all get better with age no matter what our situation is. By looking back, it can help us move forward.
