Coming Out Late Ep. #65 Catching Up w/Late Bloomer, Kari DeWitt, Part 2
In this Part Two episode, Robin continues her conversation with late bloomer and LGBTQ+ Mindset & Empowerment Coach AND Spiritual Mentor, Kari DeWitt. Robin picks back up with the challenging question for Kari, “...how do we help our LGBTQ+ coming out late community overcome debilitating feelings of selfishness while they’re navigating their new trajectory in life as a gay person…?” Kari’s answer may surprise you. Likewise, Robin and Kari also look back at how much about themselves and about their lives have changed, in just one short year.
In this episode you will also hear Robin and Kari talk about . . .
- How Kari’s look has changed over the past year; how she identifies today, as opposed to a year ago, and what she ‘labels’ herself as today.
- There are no rules when it comes to who you are ‘supposed’ to be.
- Give yourself permission to play with the way you look, the way you wear your hair, the way you sound and how you talk. Experiment and play around and when something feels right or you say, “Ooh, I like the way that looks. I like the way I feel when I wear my hair this way…”
- Stand in your power and simply ‘be’. It’s OK to just ‘be’.
- When we act, and live-in authenticity, we give everyone else who hears and sees us living authentically, permission to do the same.
- In accepting ourselves, our queerness, we are taking one step closer in accepting that ‘things’ change in life; things change all the time in life.
- ‘Things’ don’t happen TO-us in life; ‘things’ happen FOR us in our lives.
- We all need to learn to ‘let go’ and trust that we’re always taken care of and everything that’s happening in our lives is happening for us.
- Kari reveals HER secret to living an authentic and soulful life - it’s all in the STARs: Surrendering, Trusting, Allowing, and finally, Releasing.
- Learn to love yourself first; we simply cannot fully love another human being until we learn how to love ourselves first.
