Coming Out Late

COMING OUT LATE PODCAST covers topics all-things coming out late, through intimate, small-panel discussions, one-on-one interviews with licensed therapists, and coming out late coaches; through family meetings; conversations with new, budding, late blooming couples, and finally, by fielding your personal questions in our Q&A portion of the podcast. No matter the format, COMING OUT LATE PODCAST covers a broad range of topics with great specificity. Some of the topics you can expect to hear discussed are: “Realizing You’re Gay, Now What?”, “Telling Your Spouse or Significant Other You’re Gay”, “Options Other Than Divorce”, “How to Tell Young Children You’re Divorcing AND You’re Gay”, “The Late Blooming Dating Scene”, “The Catalyst”, “Women Loving Women Break-Ups”, “The Lesbian UHaul: Fact or Fiction?”, etc.

“Later in life” is self-defined by each individual woman’s personal journey and life experiences. Coming out late can occur in your 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, and beyond.

Ep. #1: Holy Sh!t! I’m Gay!

How does one “follow the bread crumbs” to discover and/or confirm if they are gay or not? Great question! Married to a man for nearly 30-years, Robin had her “Aha!” moment literally on her 54th birthday. (No. That’s not a typo. She came out to herself at 54-years of age!) Robin takes you on her journey from those first vague and sporadic inner stirrings she felt about women to finally figuring out “what was wrong with her”. Robin shares with us how she cracked-her-case that had been plaguing her and brewing within her for decades - yet seemingly laid dormant throughout her lifetime.

In this episode, you will learn about...

  • What you can expect from this and future episodes of the Coming Out Late Podcast
  • Robins’ coming-out story and how she eventually came out to herself
  • The events and clues that led-up to Robins’ “Aha!” moment
  • Compulsory-heteronormativity and internalized homophobia
  • How did Robin figure out she’s gay? (Cliffhanger Clue: My Secret Research Project, explained in Episode #2 of the Coming Out Late Podcast.)
