This episode features an interview with a listener named Dawn who shares her story of coming out as lesbian in her 40s. Dawn discusses her experience with living the majority of her life as a straight woman, getting married, having children and ultimately suppressing her desire for being with women that existed in her since childhood. It took going through couples counseling with her husband and some incredibly hard work finding her community before she was able to find her first girlfriend. Sometimes it takes a lot of time, strength and support to really own who you are and what you want. When it happens though, it's a beautiful thing!
