Coming Out Late

Ep. #132: How Living Out & Proud Changed My Life


Listen Later

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.
