Ep. #168: Should I Go Back In the Closet?

Coming Out Late

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!
