  • Ep. #168: Should I Go Back In the Closet?
    Feb 22 2025

    In this episode, Robin acknowledges the crazy political climate we're currently in and how that impacts our new gay lives. She asks the question, “Should we go back in the closet after just coming out late?”

    You will learn about…

    • The urgency with which we each need to get into action - as much as we can while remaining safe..
    •  How our ‘governmental structure’, ‘democracy’, ‘freedoms’ and sense of being a ‘united nation’ are all lies and illusions.
    • How to care for yourself during these stressful, anxiety-ridden times .
    • How our public reactions and a direct approach communicating to our elected officials DOES really have an impact!

  • Ep. #167: Late Bloomers In the Wild - Sharing Feelings & Goofing Around
    Feb 14 2025

    In this episode, Robin invites you into a private conversation between a bunch of late bloomers who all met in Robin’s Coming Out Late Community. After meeting one another, week after week in Robin’s three weekly support groups, a bunch of them realized they lived pretty close to one another so many of them have met one another in real life and are forming friendships and creating their local communities.

    You will learn about…

    • How being a part of a community really is good for your soul.
    •  That a simple last minute zoom call between new friends can be so goofy and uplifting.
    •  How you really can name your pets ‘people names’ like David the dog or Todd the tortoise.
    •  Which one are you? Monogamy? Or, polyamory?
    • Are you a top? A bottom? Or a switch? Or…topsy-turvy?

  • Ep. #166: Coming Out Late - "It Is OK!" (Replay: Ep. #43)
    Feb 7 2025

    In this episode, Robin selects a social media thread from one of her favorite Facebook Groups. The Admin. 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 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. YOUR path is the right one.
