Coming Out Late Ep. #6: What I Wish I Had Known Then
Robin shares details about her online support group “Women Loving Women”. She also dives into the powerful responses she received after posing the question “What do you wish you knew then that you’ve known now on your journey” to the women of the group.
In this episode, you will learn…
- People don’t own each other—no one could or should tell you how to live your life.
- Women are selfless but are often made to feel selfish.
- You can take care of yourself—you can do hard things.
- Fear of the unknown is the common thread that holds so many back in life.
- Finding the inner strength to say “Yes, I’m gay” and learning to trust yourself.
- There’s nothing better than living your truth.
- Coming out is not horrible and difficult for everyone.
- Feel the freedom of coming out to yourself—You don't really need to know 100% with certainty that you for sure are gay and you're coming out as gay. Just give yourself permission to explore those thoughts.
- Live your life and find your truth.
