Ep. #151: "B" is for Boobies? The ABC's of Coming Out Late, Part 1

Coming Out Late

In this Part 1 episode Robin continues the theme of “The ABC’s of Coming Out Late” and covers the letter “B”. She and her partner Chris discuss the importance of this life skill, how we should use this life skill and give real-life examples of this “B”-word in action!

Today, you’ll hear Robin & Chris cover things like:

• What is a boundary and what are they so important? What are the three different types of boundaries?
• Why healthy boundaries need to be flexible yet firm.
• Boundaries help protect our well-being and help us to live up to our core values. Boundaries also offer us the opportunity to practice self-inquiry, self-awareness and self-care.
• Boundaries are about clarity; helping others clearly understand how they can/should interact with us.
• In all your human interactions, ask yourselves: “Is this okay? Or is this not okay?”
• P.A.U.S.E.: Possibly Another Unknown Solution Exists. (You won’t know unless you “pause”. J.A.D.E.: Justify, Argue, Defend, or Explain.
