In this week’s episode, “Wait, what? I’m Gay? Why Didn’t Anyone Tell ME?” Robin continues the conversation and walks us down memory lane, recapping the deeper details of her own coming out late process as Chris asks her some deeper, vulnerable questions. Listen and follow along as Robin & Chris take you on her coming out late journey which is full of twists, turns, breadcrumbs and potholes galore!

Chris asks Robin some deeper, more vulnerable coming out late questions like: 

• The point of change comes when we can longer stay the same.
• How did you know you were gay?  How did it feel?  How comfortable were you and are you with your identity as a queer person?
• How did you know for sure?  How long did it take to accept yourself as gay? How did you come out?
• Did you tell anyone right away? If so, who? And how did that go?  If not, why?  Who did you feel supported and accepted by?
• Which came first? Robin’s queerness? Or a declining and eroding marriage?

In this episode of “How Living Out & Proud Changed My Life”, Robin reminisces and reviews her journey to coming out to herself. Why now? Why this week? Because it was this time NINE years ago nearly-to-the-day that she said those infamous words aloud to herself, “Holy Shit! I’m Gay!” Listen to how living her life out and proud has changed her and what she’s learned along the way. Spoiler Alert: Robin is STILL learning about herself, with each passing year! Enjoy!

In this episode, you’ll hear Robin talk about some of the things that she has learned about herself since coming out 9 years ago…

• Just how much better Robin’s life has been since coming out.
• All the ways in which coming out has helped shape and inform and educate Robin along the way.
• Has Robin, or anyone, ever regretted coming out late?
• Coming out is hard, usually comes at a cost, involves heartbreak and tears - so is it worth it?
• Wat does loving-kindness, compassion and tolerance have to do with coming out late?
• Robin and all of her previous phobias.
• Growth can only occur through changes; and if nothing changes, nothing changes.

In this Part 2 episode Robin and Chris continue their conversation with Stevie, who is Host of her own podcast, “Queer Story Time, The Podcast”. Stevie, a queer, trans femme yoga therapist, and gender & sexuality educator, together with Robin & Chris, discuss how cultural conditioning has shaped our lives and what's required of us to healing  & liberate ourselves.

In this episode, you will learn…

• The importance of having a more solid understanding of who we are and being okay with it.
• That finding that thing that gives you that inner spark and deep level of connection to yourself is all a part of establishing a solidness to your being.
• How our coming out journey is one of ‘uncovering’, ‘discovering’ and ‘recovering’ our true nature, our highest selves.
• Yoga is the cessation of the movement of the mind; we use yoga to liberate ourselves from our suffering by finding space between our thoughts.
• Each of us can play a part in reducing my own suffering.

• Before throwing the baby out with the bathwater, try problem-solving through creative experimentation and mutually agreed-upon creative solutions.

• David & Monique answer Robin’s questions: (1) What has been the hardest part, (so far), in Monique’s Coming Out Late process? (2) What’s been the scariest part of Monique’s Coming Out Late process, so far, for each of you?
• Monique and David also answer: (1) What advice would you give to your younger self, knowing what you know now? And, (2) What advice would you give to others on the brink of a similar path?

Thirty-three years ago, 16-year old David, the new kid in high school, bravely squished his way through a wall of Monique’s cliquey of high school friends, (congregated around her locker in the hallway), and asked a mutual friend to introduce him to Monique - in front of everyone. That brave move earned David the intrigue and attention of Monique; AND earned David the honor of walking with her to their next class together. It also earned them both the distinct pleasure of nearly three decades of marriage, built on a deep, deep bond of friendship, love and mutual respect. Their lives together were not immune to the typical stressors of married life - but nothing could have prepared either of them for the curveball that life would throw at them in 2019, and the years that followed.. 

In this Part 1 REPLAY of “Coming Out Late In A Hetero Marriage”, you will learn … 

• The importance of gay-representation in our upbringings - no matter the level of affluence we grew up with.
• We learn how Monique & David’s lifelong friendship and soulful connection were the building blocks of their thirty-plus year relationship. But is their solid foundation of love and alignment enough to sustain their marriage through Monique’s Coming Out Late journey?
• Learn about the depth and breadth of research that Monique and her husband David have done, and continue to do, (both individually AND together), in order to learn as much as they can about how other couples navigate ‘Mixed Orientation Marriages'.
• Learn the unique ways in which Monique & David are blazing their own path when it comes to reinventing their sexual intimacy and desires.

Robin picks up the conversation from last week with Sex & Pleasure specialist, Whitni Miller, in this Part 2 episode of Coming Out Late. Please Rate & Review the podcast and share this episode with a friend. Enjoy!

In this episode, you will learn…

• The #1 question that Whitni gets asked, A LOT! (Hint: it’s about sex!)
• What is “sexual desire discrepancy”?
• Be upfront about how important sex is to you w/potential new partners, ASAP. Know yourself and the depth of your sexual appetite/desire. 
• Don’t think that ‘attraction’ to each other is going to make your libidos match - that’s not going to work. You can be highly attracted to each other, but desire and the arousal that fuels all of that desire is way more nuanced than just being attracted to one another.
• How do you feel about sex? How do you feel about yourself? And, how do you feel about yourself having sex?
• Our sexual desires are NOT our partner’s responsibility - they are ours!
• The difference between ‘spontaneous desire’ and ‘responsive desire’ - and that neither is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, AND, that you can be both! 
• What’s more important than desire and arousal? (The answer is SO simple, yet so true!)
• What is ‘sexual temperament’?
• Everything affects our sexual desire - what are some of those things?
