S2. Ep.2: Unlearning Shame & Choosing Pride

In this episode, I sit down with Lynn Kyle, a queer therapist from Northern Ireland, to explore the immense power of visibility and what it really means to live and work authentically. Lynn shares her deeply personal liberation story, including the process of coming out at 46, navigating rejection from her family, and discovering her true identity as a queer therapist. We talk about the subtle ways internalised homophobia can shape our lives influencing guilt, shame, perfectionism, and even burnout. How systemic forces like religion, community, history, and intergenerational trauma keep so many of us hidden. This conversation is about recognising that authenticity is a radical undertaking. Coming out and coming home to ourselves is a continuous courageous act.
