In recognition of International Transgender Day of Visibility last week, Robin dedicated this week’s podcast episode of “Coming Out Late” entirely for the purposes of exploring what “identity” and “representation” looks like through the lens of gender non-conforming and transfeminine artist/poet/performer/activist - ALOK.In this episode you will … be exposed to the work ‘spoken’ word of ALOK, a gender non-conforming, transfeminine artist, poet, and activist.Learn how ALOK dealt with childhood bullying and racism..How ALOK used poetry and style to interrupt other peoples’ assumptions, challenge shame, and declare themself on their own terms..Alok's performance style is known for their stream of consciousness. They are also known for soundscapes, political comedy, and quite the emotional range.For Alok, performance is about world-making; making worlds where the audience can relate to one another with "a commitment to vulnerability, play, interdependence, and magic". —ALOKAlok is committed to challenging what they call "the international crisis of loneliness" by creating public spaces for processing pain and establishing meaningful connections. This work includes re-imagining a conduit for intimacy.They challenge Western rationalism and an emphasis on reductive categories and instead insist on the complexity and enormity of everyone and everything.They challenge Western rationalism and an emphasis on reductive categories and instead insist on the complexity and enormity of everyone and everything.The fact that even though gender non-conforming people are the most visible in public, they still remain the most neglected by the mainstream LGBT movement.“...why so many mistake injury as identity; calcified grief as a personality; and pain as a virtue.”  —ALOKWanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast?

In today’s episode of the Coming Out Late podcast, Robin explores two commonly asked questions that most of us ask ourselves at ‘some’ point along our coming out late journey’s - and those are: “What if I’m NOT Really Gay?” “And, What If I’m Wrong? We want assurances and certainty in life that we aren’t going to blow-up-the-family, be disowned by our parents and/or siblings, be fired at work or be ghosted by our children IF, by some chance, we are wrong about our sexuality.In this episode you will … NOTHING is going to give you a truer, more deeper understanding of you, yourself and your sexuality than YOU.all of the answers you will ever need to guide you, direct you, and fulfill your every need and desire reside right inside you.Living Two Lives: Married to A Man, But In Love with A Woman, Written by, Joanne Fleisher, (2005, 2012).A partial description of what to expect in Joanne Fleisher’s book, Living Two Lives: “In 1979, Joanne Fleisher was leading the life of a typical suburban wife and mother. That is, until she fell in love with a female friend and her world was turned upside down. Living Two Lives is a guide for women grappling with the difficult process of coming out while being married to a man.Switching Teams, Written by, Dawn Elizabeth Waters, (2019).Relatable excerpts from the book, Switching Teams, describing Dawn’s realistic rocky road to coming out late: (a) “Dawn's comfortable existence…disappeared as soon as she came out as a lesbian”, (b) “...it would be one of the most difficult experiences of her life, it would also be one of the most liberating…”, (c) “...at long last…[she] was comfortable in her own skin, even as she realized everyone around her was thrown into chaos…”, (d) “even as she realized everyone around her was thrown into chaos…”.What is “The Masterdoc”? “The Lesbian Masterdoc” is actually a common nickname for the original document titled, “Am I A Lesbian”, written by Angeli Luz, a life coach and reiki healing specialist. The 30-page piece first appeared as a Google Doc on her Tumblr page back in 2018, and then later showed up as a PDF in various sub-Reddit’s and since, swept through Tik Tok over the last 2-3 years.Wanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast?

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… above all else, you are not alone! What you are thinking and feeling and experiencing is not only common and ‘normal’, but temporary as well.ways to dispel some common concerns and ‘arm’ you with some understanding of the coming out process, in order to help ease your overtaxed nervous systems.that we all share similar feelings of uncertainty, self-doubt, confusion, self-loathing, and a deep, deep visceral fear of the unknown at various points along our coming out transformation.there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to approach our coming out; there is no ‘right way’ to confront and resolve the relationships affected by our coming out. In fact, in many cases, we choose not to even act-on our awareness of our awakened queer identities - that for some - simply acknowledging that side of ourselves and possibly sharing that knowledge with a loved one is ‘enough’. fifty to one-hundred women, a WEEK, are requesting to join our ‘Coming Out Late’ FB Group.Worry is another form of fear. Worrying is a waste of our energy and a misuse of our imagination. “Worrying” is like praying for something that 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. So, why worry? And if no amount of worry is going to change the future, then no amount of REGRET will change the past.But ANY amount of gratitude that you can muster-up during this phase of our awakening, WILL change the present. Any amount of gratitude WILL change the present. Wanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast? Then please consider buying Robin a “virtual” coffee as a sign of your appreciation.

In this Part 2 episode, Robin continues her conversation with Krista, a 49-year old late bloomer. Krista never really used any labels for herself regarding how she felt about boys and girls, men and women - but she did know she was never really enamored with ‘guys’, when all of her female school friends were! After a secret relationship with a girl in high school, (they even went to the high school Prom together), Krista moved out of state for college and married a man when she was quite young. The minute she left that 3-year marriage, (and around the time of her college graduation), her very first thought turned to - you guessed it - WOMEN! But, not knowing where to find her community of gay women or how to even begin to date a woman, Krista’s attention was distracted by a very nice young guy, who she would ultimately marry.    In this episode of the “Coming Out Late” podcast, you will hear Krista talk about . . . WHO and HOW she was outed to her husband.Does anyone, besides us, have the ‘right’ to out us to people we know/love?Krista’s plans for her future: divorce? Move out?Learning to NOT JUDGE someone when they’ve had an affair. “Acceptance” and “kindness” is always the better way to go, versus ‘judgment’.What constitutes an ‘affair’? Is the thinking around ‘affairs’ also an old construct that needs to be re-thought and re-visited?Letting go of an unhealthy catalyst relationship.Am I still gay if I’m no longer with my catalyst?Making gay friends is soooooo important! Building healthy friendships and building a gay community should be the priority over a relationship.Recognizing unhealthy self-soothing behaviors (i.e., ‘shopping’), and recognizing codependent behavior!Get outside in nature; get to know yourself more - spend alone time w/yourself.How 1:1 private Coaching w/Robin has helped Krista out enormously; Robin has helped her with her catalyst experience, the messy middle, and moving forward.If YOU would like to share your story (anonymously or publicly), on the Coming Out Late podcast, email Robin at: Comingoutlater@gmail.com.To receive one-on-one private Coaching with Robin, email her at: Comingoutlater@gmail.com.Wanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast?
