For some people, coming out as LGBTQ is easy – they’re comfortable with their identity and sexuality, and may have a supportive network. And sometimes it’s downright messy – they’re older, married with kids, or simply unable to accept their truth. Whatever the case may be - coming out can be difficult, confusing and painful.

My next guest is Melisa Raney - a mother and advocate for coming out. At 36, Melisa slowly began to question her sexuality. The problem was, she was in a heterosexual marriage, raising their two young children. Today, she is making, what she calls, her ‘mess’ her message: sharing her experience to guide others through the difficult process of coming out later in life.

It is no easy feat, but as Melisa teaches us: when you live your life authentically, you begin to live your life unapologetically.

“I was trying to fit in this box that society had created for me…” [11:22]

“I was happy in my marriage but I wasn’t fulfilled.” [24:30]
