In this heartfelt episode, I open up about coming out publicly at age 36—and how it’s transformed my life. Along the way, I chat about why I unapologetically repost older content, the shame I carried with me from childhood, and how discovering love later in life felt like the easiest, most natural thing.

Through stories from DJing at gay clubs to repressed emotions in relationships, I unpack:

• What early signs and shame around my identity looked like
• How I shifted from hiding to living authentically
• Meeting my partner and feeling that unforgettable “crush at first sight”
• The overwhelmingly positive reactions from family, friends, colleagues, and how love changed everything
• Why I’m picky about the places I work and perform now
• A reminder that “coming out” can feel right, if the timing and support are there for you
