BGO E24 - Reclaiming the Words That Hurt: From Shame to Self Acceptance

9 Jan 202531 min

In this heartfelt and raw episode of Big Gay Overalls, I dive deep into the complicated relationship I’ve had with words like “lesbian,” “dyke,” and “butch”, labels that once felt like weapons but are now part of my journey toward authenticity. 


I share how unpacking childhood shame, societal judgment, and fear helped me reclaim my identity and embrace my truth. 


This episode explores the power of words, the stories we tell ourselves, and the courage it takes to step out of hiding and into a life of self acceptance. 


Join me as I navigate the messiness of coming out late in life, the challenges of letting go of old narratives, and the freedom that comes with owning who you are. Whether you’re on your own journey of self discovery or looking to support someone else, this conversation is for you. 


Let's move from shame to pride together.
