Coming Out Late

In this episode, Robin debuts a new segment of her podcast called, “Consider the Possibility”. In “Consider the Possibility”, Robin introduces a particular topic or theme or idea that she hopes will help us all think a little deeper, feel a little more awakened and possibly even inspire us to act a little differently as we navigate through this journey of life and of coming out.In this episode you will consider the possibility of ‘impermanence’ and learn . . .What is the meaning of ‘impermanence’, and why is it important?How does ‘impermanence’ affect us: Emotionally? Socially? Intellectually? Mentally? Spiritually? Physically?Does the knowledge of ‘impermanence’ affect our daily lives?Does ‘impermanence’ impact our mindfulness and being present in the moment?What are the benefits of accepting ‘impermanence’?What can happen if we do not accept the idea of ‘impermanence’?By embracing ‘impermanence’, we learn acceptance and that ‘change’ is inevitable.How does the intersection of ‘impermanence’ and ‘comp-het’, ‘homophobia’, and deep-seeded denial play in our lives and how self-love, self-confidence and self-esteem can be the medicine!Wanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast?

In this episode, Robin is interviewed by Greg Sowell, host of his own podcast called, “Why Am I?” Greg’s premise behind his “Why Am I?” podcast, is that he likes talking to interesting people and tries to trace a path to where they were to where they find themselves today. Nonetheless, Robin makes an excellent guest on his show, because clearly her path to where she was to where she finds herself today is quite an unlikely path indeed.In this episode, you will hear Greg interview Robin and learn . . .How and why Robin became a solopreneur, and what that means. (Hint: an unexpected and abrupt - and illegal - ending to her marital alimony suddenly had Robin scrambling to support herself.)Why Robin thinks we are all going through a metamorphosis throughout our lives, explaining why it’s important we embrace change and impermanence, because nothing stays the same - change is inevitable.Robin says, “...I always knew there was something more for me to do, to accomplish…always wanting to know my purpose in life…”How Robin followed the breadcrumbs along a 10-year journey.Recuperating from her nearly three-year divorce and how two and a half years after her divorce, she was faced with a very difficult financial and legal decision.How Robin freed herself from being beholden to her ex-husband, wanting to be fully self-sufficient and independent - depending only on herself.Theories on why there are droves of people coming out late in the last 4-7 years; and how many come out near their 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th+ birthdays.Coming to terms with being gay and how we choose to express ourselves (as gay people), publicly, AND, reconciling that expression of our gayness.Fear paralyzes us. When you’re feeling the fear, ask yourself, “What’s the worst that can happen?” Feel the fear and do it anyway.What roles do ‘comp-het’, ‘homophobia’, and deep-seeded denial play in our lives and how self-love, self-confidence and self-esteem can be the medicine!Wanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast?

In this episode, Robin is interviewed by Abigail, a relatively new, self-proclaimed pansexual, and Host of her own podcast all about relationships called, “The Manic Pixie Weirdo”. The week before this episode aired with Robin, Abigail did a solo episode on her podcast called, “My Relationship with Coming Out”, and therefore wanted to interview Robin to learn more about her own relationship with coming out, and what Robin’s process was like.In this episode, you will hear Abigail interview Robin and learn about . . .My “Aha!” moment, at 54 years young!My ten-year span of ‘awakening’ after a lifetime of heteronormativity.There’s no puttin’ the genie back in the bottle once she pops out!There are two camps of women: those who ‘knew’ but for external societal reasons had to stuff it down; and those of us who stuffed it so far down, (due to implicit societal reasons), that it took decades to ‘know’.How inexplicable, confusing infatuations back then, make complete sense now.Do we need ‘labels’? Do we want labels?Married women liking women: oh my gosh, this IS a ‘thing’!How do you know for sure you’re gay, having never been intimate with a woman?Is it ‘normal’ to feel resentments about NOT coming out sooner?In what ways have I, and do ‘we’, personally grow, since coming out?I’ve come out late in life, so, what else don’t I know about myself?Everything in my life happens FOR me, not TO me!Hetero-dating versus same-sex dating - who makes the first move? How do you flirt?Indoctrinating yourself into the gay culture; ask for guidance if you need it.When in doubt, just use “ya’ll” for everyone’s pronouns.Coming out later: is self-care selfish?Wanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast?

In this episode, Robin continues to break the mold in the world of LGBTQ podcasting by introducing us to one of her listeners, Michelle, hailing all the way from Australia. Robin was so struck by a note she received from Michelle, that she knew she had to share it with her listener’s, with MIchelle’s consent of course. Robin also knew that the impact of Michelle’s words and all the sentiment behind them would be better spoken by Michelle herself. So, Michelle agreed to read her own letter to Robin, aloud, for the Coming Out Late audience.Whether covered directly, or implied, this episode touches upon topics which get us thinking about . . .The universal nature of coming out late, no matter where in the world we live.The effect of women in non-traditional, but male-dominated occupations.Is it a woman’s responsibility to help make a man feel ‘whole’ if he feels emasculated or threatened by a woman?Being with men, cutting off bits of myself and making myself smaller in order that they would feel like men.Many of the late in life stories include complex arrangements and rearrangements of marriage and children and Incredibly courageous and challenging journeys. This guest doesn’t have children, and is not married.There is more to “identity” than just our sexuality.A life lived out of other people's expectations is a life dominated by fear and resentment.Being honest with other women, from the very start.Am I an “L”? A “B”? Or maybe a “P”? Do we need labels? How do I flirt with a woman?Do I now need to dress differently and wear beanies?Which life-lived is my real reality? Everything feels completely flipped upside-down, or sideways, or completely averse.Sexual identity versus cultural conditioning; internalized homophobia, people pleasing and the female anatomy.It seemed that the rainbow world offered many possibilities for stepping out of one cage and into another.Wanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast?

In this episode, Robin reads a post written by a member of her “Coming Out Late” community about feeling stuck and sad while in the beginning stage of the messy middle. Robin also shares with us the outpouring of beautiful and practical support and encouragement - something we all need at some point along this turbulent and unpredictable journey of coming out late in life. Grab your pen and paper because you are going to want to write down some of the really useful suggestions, as well as some of the poignant positive affirmations that the authors’ responders shared with her.In this episode, you will learn…The necessity of taking care of yourself first during this time of coming out.Why it is critically important during this journey to always protect yourself first.The importance of setting goals and making lists and why you should start with small goals for yourself first.That by setting goals and achieving them, no matter how small they are (and the smaller the better in the beginning), you will begin to feel a lot less stuck!That now is a good time to go back to school or obtain additional training so that you make yourself more marketable when seeking employment.That you need to become as financially literate as possible; and open up a separate bank account, (in your name only), in a different banking institution from any joint accounts you share with your partner.The importance of seeking 2-3 free consultations from a few different divorce lawyers - with the sole purpose of knowing and understanding what your legal rights are for the particular state you reside in.Seek therapy, (a queer therapist if possible), and encourage your partner to seek his own therapist as well.That crying and breathing - as much as you can - really IS therapeutic!That by staying committed to “kindness”, you and your partner have a better chance of going through this journey amicably and communicate effectively.That every day will come with its different feelings and those will change constantly. It is OK to feel however you’re feeling in that moment and the importance of ‘feeling ALL the feels’.To prioritize your well-being like a training Olympian!Wanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast?

In this episode, Robin selects a social media thread from one of her favorite Facebook Groups - “Late Bloomer Lesbians + Support Group”. One of the Admins., Cariann Moore, starts what turns out to be, one of the most meaningful and “therapeutic” threads that overwhelmingly aligns with Robin’s core Coming Out Late values and opinions that she simply HAD to share it. Robin strongly believes that the initial post, and the thread of comments and solicited advice that follows, could be used as a Coming Out Late handguide. The overall theme, “It Is Ok”, addresses feeling the feels, the emotional roadblocks, and thinking versus feeling, to name a few!In this episode, you will learn…“It is ok” to be afraid, to not know what you are doing, and to ask a lot of questions.“It is ok” to still want to be with men, or to not want to leave your marriage.It's okay to be a lesbian. It's okay to be a bisexual. It's okay to be Trans. It's okay to be non-binary. It's okay not to know what you are and/or choose no label at all!We are all on different journeys, and our paths and perspectives are built on our own life experiences.Lean-in to your feelings. It’s okay to feel those. Feeling your feelings is ALL you need to do. Feel and breathe.There is no urgency to *do* anything, just BE.Take the time to process the changes!There is no right way or one-way to do any of this.

In this episode, Robin shares with us a hybrid of stories coming from women who are ‘stuck’ and/or in limbo in the infamous “Messy Middle”. She talks about what that can feel like, being stuck in the limbo space of the messy middle. Robin also shares with her formula of “ABC’s” to help us all navigate through those disorienting and confusing days of the Messy Middle. This process is not for the faint of heart, and it IS very much a marathon, not a sprint - but Robin outlines ways in which we can incorporate self-care in order to help us get through these days.In this episode, you will learn…What are some of the common signs letting you know you ARE indeed in the “messy middle”.Whether you are living with the hetero partner you are ultimately leaving, or living all alone…there ARE ways in which you can diminish the damage done to your nervous system, mind and heart.What to do even if you are in the “best of situations” at home, but not yet ‘free’ to be your true gay self.You can still purchase the recording from the June 25th Women Loving Women (Virtual) Speaker Summit - all about “Relationships”.
