Ep. #162: Happy Queer Year My Late Bloomin' Friends!

In this episode, Robin wishes you a Happy Queer Year and invites us to ponder what WE want our own new year to look like for 2025.In this episode, you will discover…“What the new year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the new year,” by Vern McLellan. If we bring or allow dysfunction into a relationship or a situation, then that's exactly what we're going to get in return. Exercise your choices that align with the best version of yourself. Take the time and space, (quiet space), to reflect on how you moved through last year and how you want to move forward in the new year.What tiny changes can you make in your day to day that can help you move forward toward how you want to feel most of the time.How can we help ourselves take more responsibility in what we bring to our new year. Routinely ask yourself, “Is this what I want?” “What do I want in this or any situation?”Wanna support your “Coming Out Late” podcast?

Ep. #161: Coming Out Late to Rude Comments (Replay)

In this episode, Robin shares with us some examples of the types of comments we could possibly and most likely WILL receive as we slowly OR quickly come out to people all around us. Knowing what questions *may* be asked during your coming out process is half the battle - at least that way you can prepare for them, right? Robin also shares with us some possible retorts to these questions, and maybe a few retorts that she really wouldn’t advise you saying, but ones SHE would love to have you say in these oftentimes rude, intrusive scenarios. Sometimes ‘knowing’ what to expect when we’re navigating the coming out process IS half the battle!! Hopefully you won’t need ANY of these responses - but be prepared and decide how YOU want to respond should you be asked a personal, intrusive question.In this episode, you will learn…What are some of the common questions we ARE asked when we’re coming out to others - or even if we’re NOT coming out and we’re simply in a social setting among other not-straight women.How to handle rude and inappropriate personal questions when faced with “curious” people questioning YOUR sexuality, for you.Should you respond? Should you respond snidely? Should you confront their blunt rudeness? It all depends….Being prepared and expecting the unexpected is usually a good tactic to take!Wanna support your “Coming Out Late” podcast?

Ep. #158: Coming Out Late w/ Fear & Confusion, (Replay Ep. #77)

In today’s episode of the Coming Out Late podcast, Robin discusses the topics of fear and confusion as they relate to the coming out late process. Robin explains, “...fear and confusion have been pervasively popping-up in a variety of forums where people gather for support and conversation regarding their coming out late journey’s. We need to have open and honest conversations about the common fears we experience and the mind-blowing confusion we’re hit with when coming out later in life.”In this episode you will learn… You are not alone! What you are thinking, feeling and experiencing is not only common and ‘normal’, but temporary as well.How to ease your over-taxed nervous system.We all share similar feelings of uncertainty, self-doubt, confusion, guilt, and a deep visceral fear of the unknown during our coming out late process.There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to approach our coming out or to confront & resolve the relationships affected by our coming out.Worry is another form of fear; it's a waste of our energy and a misuse of our imagination. “Worrying” is like manifesting what you don’t want. (What we focus on grows). Worry is also just a way to attempt to control something we have no control over.NO amount of worry is going to change the future - none. And if no amount of worry is going to change the future, then no amount of REGRET will change the past.Any amount of gratitude you can muster-up, WILL change the present. Please support our “Coming Out Late” podcast and buy Robin a “virtual” coffee as a sign of your appreciation.

Ep. #154: Talking Coming Out Late Sex & Relationships w/Samantha Fox, Part 2 (REPLAY)

In this Part 2 episode of the Coming Out Late podcast, Robin continues her conversation with Samantha Fox, talking about sex and relationships as it pertains to our ever-growing community of newly-out, not-straight queer folx. In this episode you will hear Robin and Samantha discuss . . . A very big part of our coming out process IS awakening to our own sexual desires, our sex drive and defining our own sensuality.The taboo of self-pleasuring, masterbation and why no one talks about it.Objectification: being the object of the male gaze.Is our outlook upon men determined by WHEN you came out? Are lifelong lesbians LESS likely to be objectified by men? Are their relationships with men different than women who come out late?The different emotional conditioning for men versus women.Sex was an obligation they did ‘for’ their husbands; it wasn’t something they liked, enjoyed or even wanted to do.What was wrong with me? Feeling ‘broken’ in our hetero relationships and in our marriages.Working through the cultural ‘learnings’ and ‘traumas’ to heal our perceived brokenness.NONE of us are ‘broken’. We are just deeply buried under layers and layers of cultural, societal, religious conditioning that needs to be undone; but NONE of us are broken.Have experiences so that you can “collect the data” about yourself and get to know WHO you are!‘Lesbian Bed Death’ is NOT exclusive to just lesbians - it occurs in ALL unhealthy relationships.Get to know your own sex drive and sexual needs and be true to your needs.Communicate! Communicate! Communicate! Not doing so in your relationships is like taking a tourniquet to your relationship and cutting off the blood supply.“Fantasizing” is such a great way to get in touch with what you like.Dispelling the Myth: Lifelong lesbians *may* not be better at sex than we are.   Wanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast?

Ep. #153: Talking Coming Out Late Sex & Relationships w/Samantha Fox, Part 1 (REPLAY)

In this episode of the Coming Out Late podcast, Robin invites back to the podcast Samantha Fox, to talk about sex and relationships as it pertains to our ever-growing community of newly-out, not-straight queer folx. In this episode you will hear Robin and Samantha discuss . . . The coming out late journey is fraught with potholes, messy-middles, and a multitude of emotions. But, what about what happens AFTER you’re through the messy middle - what then?Post the messy-middle, we are still faced with dealing with feelings and ‘people’ when we begin to date women. Just because we’re now dating women doesn’t mean we are immune from ‘relationship challenges’ and no longer have to deal with ‘personalities’.Peeling back the layers of not only comphet, (compulsory heterosexuality), but also patriarchy, misogyny, and capitalism, to realize that most, if not ALL, of our beliefs and traditions and cultural ‘norms’ need to be reinspected by each of us - least of which is the concept of monogamous relationships; or, that there is just “one person” out-there for us; or that, once in a committed relationship, that it is ‘for life’ - it may not be.To be open to the possibility that being in a relationship is an opportunity to learn and grow from within - to heal our wounds and grow. And that once a relationship may have run-its-course, that perhaps it was an experience in our life to purposefully teach us a needed lesson. “Relationships” can, and possibly *should*, be looked upon as a beautiful string of experiences with all different kinds of people.How “expectations” are the death to every and all relationships and experiences. Let go of expectations and allow yourself to experience the joy and wonder of that particular moment, and then the next moment, and the next.Wanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast?
