This week on Open Late, Jess sits down with Anne Hodder-Shipp and talks about what it means when someone says that there are only five love languages in the entire world and the others don’t count (and how wrong they are). They also talk about how this idea of limiting people into these categories is harmful and damaging for everyone involved (including ourselves).

• Love languages

• Sources of love

• Different styles of giving and receiving love

• How to grow and meet all the new versions of ourselves

In this episode, Jess sits down with us one on one to talk about coming out and what it means for you as an individual trying to navigate those waters. She also talks about what other people might think when they hear news like this—and how they might react. As you grow and as you get more secure in this relationship, it will matter less what people think about you. Just because you come out doesn't mean the work ends—even if it goes really well.

In this episode of Open Late

• Personal experience being disrespected after coming out

• How to deal with judgment

• How to liberate yourself

• Tips on coming out—whether it goes well or not!
