Ep. #140: Reclaiming Our Individuality, Reclaiming Ourselves w/Our Hair, Part 2

In this Part 2 episode Robin picks up where last week's cliffhanger left off, finding out what Daine decided to do with their hair. You’ll also hear how the other folx relate to their own head of hair, recalling past experiences as well as current day reflections.You’ll hear the group members discuss topics such as:“...Cutting my hair shorter and shorter was a reclaiming of myself; a claiming of myself.”Hair is an essential aspect of our personal identity, self expression, and confidence, and that the right haircut can allow people to showcase their individuality.Going to a salon versus a barber: what’s the difference?“I wanna go by she/they, but a lot of people in my life don’t understand, because I look feminine. My hair has always been long; I love my hair long, and I don’t want to cut it, BUT, I wish my hair looked more like I feel on the inside.”So many of us received negative feedback from the males in our lives when we wanted to cut our hair shorter; so we grew to love our hair long.Feeling dysphoria about our hair from a gender aspect, AND an aging aspect. “I don’t want to dye my hair anymore - I want it to go grey!”Wanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast?

And could it really be fluid?Your truth is yours to define; if you say you’re gay, you’re gay!

Ep. #134: Wait, what? I'm GAY? Why Didn't Anyone Tell ME? (Part 2)

In this week’s episode Robin continues fielding questions from her partner Chris about what it was like for Robin, to come out gay, nine years ago. Robin reveals that it had really been a ten year process before that; a process of noticing the breadcrumbs, ignoring the breadcrumbs, then noticing more breadcrumbs - over and over again - until ultimately finding herself standing in her garage with a proverbial full loaf of bread in her basket, saying to herself, “Holy Sh!t! I’m Gay!” You’ll hear Robin respond vulnerably to topics like:Robin embraces the belief that her journey happened exactly as it was meant to; that it was divine-timing.Take advantage of ALL of the resources available today: podcasts, books, Robin’s Coaching, therapy & Robin’s 3 weekly Support Groups.Expect the unexpected during the coming out process AND divorce.Create a small tribe of trusted people who can love and support you.Do you come out to everyone, or keep it to yourself for a while?Wanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast?

In this Part 2 episode Robin and Chris continue their conversation with Stevie, who is Host of her own podcast, “Queer Story Time, The Podcast”. Stevie, a queer, trans femme yoga therapist, and gender & sexuality educator, together with Robin & Chris, discuss how cultural conditioning has shaped our lives and what's required of us to healing  & liberate ourselves.In this episode, you will learn…The importance of having a more solid understanding of who we are and being okay with it.That finding that thing that gives you that inner spark and deep level of connection to yourself is all a part of establishing a solidness to your being.How our coming out journey is one of ‘uncovering’, ‘discovering’ and ‘recovering’ our true nature, our highest selves.Yoga is the cessation of the movement of the mind; we use yoga to liberate ourselves from our suffering by finding space between our thoughts.Each of us can play a part in reducing my own suffering.Wanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast?
