Episode 6: Coming Out
This episode starts a short series on coming out. I start the series looking back on my first few coming out conversations, when I came out as a lesbian. If you see yourself as someone others could safely come out to, there are some moments in this podcast for you to take into consideration.
In moments of coming out, compassion for myself was hard to come by, and something I'm still learning to put into practice. It is easier to look back on moments from the past with compassion, and try to take what I learn into the future.

Episode 8: Anxiety and Coming Out as Transgender at Work
This is the first of two episodes discussing coming out as transgender in the workplace. This episode focuses on the anxiety of coming out, and getting the support of my boss. As recent as 2020, it was still legal in many states for trans people to be fired. It's hard to think of myself as worthy of anything when having to fight for jobs and healthcare is a real possibility for trans folks. It's hard to not internalize.
