Coming Out Late

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


Listen Later

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?
