Finding Connection & Support

Coming out later in life can feel like a leap into the unknown—whether you’re stepping into your truth for the first time or reclaiming your authentic self after years of living by society’s expectations. While this journey is empowering, it can also be overwhelming and lonely at times. That’s where the Embracing My Big Gay Overalls community comes in.

Our community group is here to offer a space where you can find connection, support, and understanding from women who’ve walked similar paths. We know that coming out later in life is not just a “moment,” but a deeply personal process filled with discovery, challenges, and immense growth. **This group is a space where you don’t have to go through it alone.**

Why I Created The Embracing My Big Gay Overalls Community

There’s a unique experience that comes with coming out later in life. Many women who make this transition have spent years, even decades, navigating their lives within a heterosexual framework. Whether through marriage, children, or simply conforming to societal norms, embracing your lesbian identity later in life can feel both liberating and challenging. That’s why I created the Embracing My Big Gay Overalls community—to give you a space where you can talk about it all, without fear of judgment or misunderstanding.

I believe that connection is key to thriving in this next chapter of your life. In this group, you’ll find women who understand what it’s like to navigate new relationships, revisit old ones, and figure out how to live authentically in your own skin. This is a space to share, laugh, cry, and most importantly, grow.

What You Can Expect From Our Community

1. A Safe Space for Open Conversations

Embracing My Big Gay Overalls is a place where you can be completely yourself.

This is a judgment-free zone where you can talk about the real stuff—whether it’s dealing with family reactions, navigating friendships, or building new relationships.

2. Support and Encouragement

Our group is filled with women who have been exactly where you are. They understand the fears, the joys, and the rollercoaster of emotions that come with embracing your identity later in life. You’ll find an outpouring of encouragement and understanding that’s hard to find elsewhere. Need advice on how to come out to your loved ones?

Why You Belong Here

Coming out later in life can sometimes make you feel like you don’t quite fit in with those who have been out for years.

But let me tell you—your story is valid, important, and worth sharing.

You belong here because this space was created for women like you, who are brave enough to step into their truth at any stage of life.
