   BGO E37 - After Coming Out: The Messy, Honest Middle

   Welcome back to The Big Gay Overalls Podcast — it’s been a minute. Like… since June. Life’s been lifing: caregiving for my mum, navigating grief and growth, chasing a dream to become a teaching pro golfer, and trying to figure out what to say when you’ve already told your big coming out story. This episode isn’t polished. It’s not a highlight reel. It’s the real, raw middle — the “after” part of coming out that no one really talks about. Because here’s what I think: Coming out isn’t one big event — it’s a million tiny moments where you keep meeting yourself again and again. In this episode, I talk about: Why I hit pause on the podcast (and what pulled me back) The quiet, everyday work of becoming after you’ve already been brave The waves of identity, belonging, and self-reintroduction that keep coming Life updates: caregiving, golf dreams, book talks, and chasing overdue pay How to build a life that fits after decades of ticking boxes that didn’t If you’re somewhere in that in-between — living out, but still figuring out what’s next — this one’s for you. You’re not alone in the messy middle.

   BGO E35 - Before & After: When You’ve Built a Life Around Being Who You’re Not

   This episode is a bit of a deep dive, and a long overdue one. I’ve been sitting in a space of reflection lately, trying to make sense of the before and after of my life. Not the shiny, curated “before and after” you see in gym photos… but the emotional, soul-level shift of what happens when you stop living a life that looks good on the outside and start living one that feels right on the inside. In this episode, I’m sharing what it was really like to come out late in life, not just as a lesbian, but as me. What it felt like to live a life that ticked all the boxes but left me feeling empty, bone-tired, and disconnected from my own skin. I talk about the anger I carried, the shame I buried, and the constant push to be someone I wasn’t… all in the hope of being accepted. But I also talk about the shift. The grief and fear that came with unraveling that life. The slow, quiet moments of stepping into my truth. And the lightness—oh my god, the relief—that followed. This is for you if you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “What if I built my whole life being someone I’m not?” If you’re in that before stage, where something doesn’t quite fit and you can’t unsee it anymore. Or if you’ve already started that journey and you’re navigating the messy middle. You’re not too late. You’re not broken. And you’re not selfish for wanting more. I hope this episode reminds you that you’re allowed to change. You’re allowed to grow. And you are 100% allowed to be you—even if you’re still figuring out who that is. 🎧 Listen now, subscribe, and don’t forget to share with someone who needs to hear this! 📲 Follow on socials @biggayoverallspodcast for more stories, insights, and conversations.
