Big Gay Overalls - Stories of Love, Identity and Pride

BGO E37 - After Coming Out: The Messy, Honest Middle


Listen Later

Welcome back to The Big Gay Overalls Podcast — it’s been a minute. Like… since June. Life’s been lifing: caregiving for my mum, navigating grief and growth, chasing a dream to become a teaching pro golfer, and trying to figure out what to say when you’ve already told your big coming out story.

This episode isn’t polished. It’s not a highlight reel. It’s the real, raw middle — the “after” part of coming out that no one really talks about.


Because here’s what I think:


Coming out isn’t one big event — it’s a million tiny moments where you keep meeting yourself again and again.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Why I hit pause on the podcast (and what pulled me back)
  • The quiet, everyday work of becoming after you’ve already been brave
  • The waves of identity, belonging, and self-reintroduction that keep coming
  • Life updates: caregiving, golf dreams, book talks, and chasing overdue pay
  • How to build a life that fits after decades of ticking boxes that didn’t

If you’re somewhere in that in-between — living out, but still figuring out what’s next — this one’s for you. You’re not alone in the messy middle.
