Listen to Sophie's bonus episode which answers your questions - like how to know another woman is into you!

Sarah* was in a 20 year marriage with three kids, when one day a lightbulb went off… “I think I’m gay”.

Now in her 50’s, she has been in a relationship with a woman for two years but she still doesn't feel safe to come out to everyone in her life, including her parents. 

This episode Sarah tells Sophie about how she discovered she was attracted to women and the hurt this discovery caused, but why she would do it all over again to find herself. 

*Sarah's name has been changed to protect her privacy.
