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

    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. 💌 Connect & Engage: Visit biggayoverallspodcast.com Dying Inside Ebook Amazon Stores US https://a.co/d/54QZFo6 AU  https://amzn.asia/d/2Hc9Cww UK https://amzn.eu/d/jefXR2x CA https://amzn.eu/d/jefXR2x 📲 Follow on socials @biggayoverallspodcast for more stories, insights, and conversations.

    BGO E21 - From Quiet Suffocation to Bold Authenticity: The Hidden Cost of Hiding Yourself

    In this week’s episode of The Big Gay Overalls Podcast, Lisa gets real about the unspoken cost of living inauthentically. Drawing from her own journey, she paints a vivid picture of what it feels like to wear the "wrong outfit" in life—the quiet suffocation, the bone-deep exhaustion, and the constant hum of anxiety that comes from pretending to be someone you’re not. But it’s not all heavy. Lisa shares the life-changing shift that happens when you start embracing your true self—step by tiny step. With her trademark humour and vulnerability, she explores how authenticity is more than just a buzzword; it’s a liberation that impacts your relationships, your health, and your happiness. Whether you’re struggling with identity, stuck in a career that doesn’t feel right, or just feeling like life isn’t fitting quite right, this episode will resonate. Lisa also gives practical tips for beginning the journey toward your truth, no matter how daunting it feels. As she celebrates her 50th birthday, Lisa reflects on the life she’s curating with intention, freedom, and love—and invites you to start curating yours. 🎙️ Listen now, and start shedding the layers that no longer serve you.

    BGO E20 - Getting Real: My Journey to Living Authentically and Why It’s So Worth It

    In this episode of Big Gay Overalls, I’m diving into something close to my heart—authenticity. For years, I lived a life that looked great on the outside but felt completely out of sync with who I really was. It wasn’t until I hit my mid-40s that I started doing the hard, messy work of figuring out who I truly am and living in alignment with that truth. I’m sharing my story—the ups, the downs, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. From facing my fears to peeling back years of conditioning, it’s been a wild ride, but I can tell you this: living authentically has been the most freeing, joyful, and meaningful thing I’ve ever done. I’ll also talk about the little steps you can take to start showing up as your true self, even if it feels scary as hell. Whether it’s journaling, having those tough conversations, or just looking in the mirror and saying, “I’m enough,” there’s a way forward for you. So, grab your overalls (metaphorically or literally!) and join me for this deep, honest chat about what it means to live your truth. I hope my story inspires you to take that next step toward your own authenticity—because you deserve it, and the world needs your magic. Let’s do this together. Keep your overalls on and press play! Join the conversation, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who needs it. Together, let’s own our stories and make authenticity contagious. Keep your overalls on and dive in!
