In this follow-up episode, Will & Maria dive deeper into the often-overlooked part of the coming out journey: coming out to yourself. Before the conversations with friends, family, or the world—there’s a quieter, more personal moment when you first acknowledge your truth to you.

We unpack the emotional layers of self-acceptance, explore what internalized fear or shame can look like, and share personal reflections and listener stories about that pivotal turning point. Whether your journey was a slow realization or a lightning-bolt moment, this episode is a reminder that coming out doesn’t start with others—it starts with you.
