Ever wonder what happened to the kids in the 90’s that could never get out of the closet...maybe trapped in there with old field hockey sticks and uniforms? Stories of flannels and baby white tank tops? Maybe a few “oops, I swear I was just tipsy stories..." It’s mid-life and you finally get the courage to say the words...yep, I’m queer… now what?! Welcome to a podcast about midlife and FINALLY out of the closet! Meet Alex, a human who finally got the words, non binary and transgender, at 40 years old and Kim, at 42 was finally able to say, I'm here and I'm queer.

Interview with Melissa Giberson, author of "Late Bloomer: Finding My Authentic Self at Midlife"
Kim and Alex have the pleasure of speaking with Melissa Giberson, author of Late Bloomer: Finding My Authentic Self at Midlife (Releasing on August 8, available for pre-order through Amazon!) ORDER NOW!!!!
Melissa Giberson is a middle-aged suburban wife and mother of two kids, solidly planted in the life she’s always wanted. Yet she longs for something more—something she can’t quite put her finger on until, one day at the Y, she finds herself mesmerized by the sight of a naked woman and asks herself for the first time: Am I gay?
This revelation sends Melissa on a head-spinning journey of self-discovery, one that challenges everything she thinks she knows about herself, forces her to decide exactly how much she’s willing to risk for authenticity, and shakes the foundations of the family she’s fiercely determined to shield from the kinds of wounds she sustained during her own childhood. Torn between her desire to be true to herself and her desire to protect her children, she is consumed by fear and conflicting emotions—and when her husband unexpectedly serves her divorce papers, her confusion only deepens.
Adrift in uncharted waters, Melissa finds fragments of understanding and peace in unexpected places—in a conference room in Israel, a small fishing village in Cape Cod, and at a yoga retreat center—that help her deconstruct her preconceptions about faith and identity and begin to construct a new framework for her life. Over the course of her ten-year journey, she finds hope, love, and more courage than she ever knew she was capable of, and she gradually assembles the puzzle that is her—the real her.
Tune in to the interview and join the fun. Find Melissa Giberson at www.melissagiberson.com
