  • Ep. #140: Reclaiming Our Individuality, Reclaiming Ourselves w/Our Hair, Part 2

    In this Part 2 episode Robin picks up where last week's cliffhanger left off, finding out what Daine decided to do with their hair. You’ll also hear how the other folx relate to their own head of hair, recalling past experiences as well as current day reflections.

    You’ll hear the group members discuss topics such as:

    • “...Cutting my hair shorter and shorter was a reclaiming of myself; a claiming of myself.”
    • Hair is an essential aspect of our personal identity, self expression, and confidence, and that the right haircut can allow people to showcase their individuality.
    • Going to a salon versus a barber: what’s the difference?
    • “I wanna go by she/they, but a lot of people in my life don’t understand, because I look feminine. My hair has always been long; I love my hair long, and I don’t want to cut it, BUT, I wish my hair looked more like I feel on the inside.”
    • So many of us received negative feedback from the males in our lives when we wanted to cut our hair shorter; so we grew to love our hair long.
    • Feeling dysphoria about our hair from a gender aspect, AND an aging aspect. “I don’t want to dye my hair anymore - I want it to go grey!”

  • Ep. #139: Reclaiming Our Individuality, Reclaiming Ourselves w/Our Hair. Part 1

    In this week’s episode of the Coming Out Late podcast, Robin offers us a rare peek into a conversation she has with members of her private weekly support group - The Gender Expansive Edition. With full consent Robin initiates a discussion about a facet of our humanness that is near and dear to all our hearts - our head of hair!

    You’ll hear the group members discuss topics such as:

    • Hair is an essential aspect of our personal identity, self expression, and confidence, and that the right haircut can allow people to showcase their individuality.
    • The value people place on their head of hair is complex, and includes an interplay of cultural, psychological and personal factors. It is also deeply ingrained in both our societal norms and our individual identity. 
    • Has their relationship with their hair changed at all, since coming out?
    • Why do other people say to us, “your hair looks great, but I could never do that…”?
    • “Stepping out of the male gaze”, and having long hair for our family members and the men in our life.

  • Ep. #136: Am I Less Gay Because I Was, (or Am), Married to A Man?

    In this week’s episode Robin shares with us her perspective on the frequently asked question, “Am I Less Gay Because I Was, (or Am), Married to A Man?”. Robin also answers the question, “How did you know you were gay? Did you waiver? Did you need ‘an experience’ to know for sure?”

    Some of the topics you’ll hear Robin share with you are:

    • Contempt prior to investigation; and how does that relate to being newly gay?
    • What is ‘sexuality’? And could it really be fluid?
    • Your truth is yours to define; if you say you’re gay, you’re gay! No one else gets to weigh-in or decide for us.
    • “The fears we don’t face become our limits.”
    • Heterosexual women do not lay awake at night fantasizing about other women.

  • Ep. #134: Wait, what? I'm GAY? Why Didn't Anyone Tell ME? (Part 2)

    In this week’s episode Robin continues fielding questions from her partner Chris about what it was like for Robin, to come out gay, nine years ago. Robin reveals that it had really been a ten year process before that; a process of noticing the breadcrumbs, ignoring the breadcrumbs, then noticing more breadcrumbs - over and over again - until ultimately finding herself standing in her garage with a proverbial full loaf of bread in her basket, saying to herself, “Holy Sh!t! I’m Gay!” 

    You’ll hear Robin respond vulnerably to topics like:

    • Robin embraces the belief that her journey happened exactly as it was meant to; that it was divine-timing.
    • Take advantage of ALL of the resources available today: podcasts, books, Robin’s Coaching, therapy & Robin’s 3 weekly Support Groups.
    • Expect the unexpected during the coming out process AND divorce.
    • Create a small tribe of trusted people who can love and support you.
    • Do you come out to everyone, or keep it to yourself for a while?

  • Ep. #133: Wait, WHAT? I'm GAY? Why Didn't Anyone Tell ME? Part 1

    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?
