Part Two (We recommend listening to Part One first) 
The conversation continues. Guided by the host, Beth Armstrong, three bold, funny and wise women speak together anonymously to share their stories of coming out later in life and how it has affected their lives. 

You’re married or partnered, maybe have children, a career and your identity is heterosexual, but then you’re single again and unexpectedly you fall in love with a woman. How does that work?
