In this powerful episode of 40 Plus, Gay Men, Gay Talk Rick Clemons sits down with Mark Dembo to talk about coming out later in life, the messy beauty of self-discovery, and the liberating (and terrifying) freedom that comes with being unapologetically you.

They cover: Guilt, anxiety, and codependence in late-life coming out Why authenticity is a leadership superpower Couples counseling, redefining relationships, and facing your truth Coaching vs. fixing: helping people find their own answers The reality of political “allies” who aren’t really allies at all
