And the question for me was, how did I not know this before? How did I get to this place? And then how did I get to a place where it was so difficult for me to make a decision about or take action on what I knew to be true for myself?</em>”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“<em>I had a lovely life and I have no regrets about that lovely life I led. And I have two sons who I have a great relationship with. I have an ex-husband who I'm still friendly with. I had a whole life before. I feel very grateful that I am now stepping into Suzette 2.0, and it is a very different life. It is a life that feels more alive for me. I feel more aligned with everything.</em>”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“<em>We talk about how visibility matters. And I'm sharing a story of somebody who came out later in life, came out in her fifties, is stepping into a vibrant professional career in, in her fifties and now into my sixties. And hopefully it's going to resonate with some people out there.</em>”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“<em>I didn't just make a huge change in my personal life. I did that first and then the professional possibilities and really stepping into the work I was meant to do — just to write stories and to help guide other writers and in their storytelling. I mean I love, love my work.</em>”</span></p> <h3><strong>Links</strong></h3> <p>Sign up <a href="https://www.yourstoryfinder.com/books"><span style="font-weight: 400;">t</span></a>o <span style="font-weight: 400;">receive the <a href="https://www.yourstoryfinder.com/behindthescenes">Insider Companion Guide</a> to The Only Way Through is Out</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Order Suzette’s book </span><a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-only-way-through-is-out-suzette-mullen/20156608?ean=9780299345501"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Only Way Through is Out</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learn more about </span><a href="https://www.yourstoryfinder.com/workwithsuzette"><span style="font-weight: 400;">book coaching with Suzette</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learn more about Suzette’s Mentorship and Community of Queer writers, </span><a href="https://www.yourstoryfinder.com/write-yourself-out"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Write Yourself Out</span></a></p>
