Questions About Coaching Workshop Podcast

I Just Found Out Your Spouse Is Gay. Now what?

Season #1

When you discover your husband is gay, your wife is a lesbian, or your spouse is transgender, it can feel like your entire world has been turned upside down. Questions come quickly. Emotions come even faster. 

You may feel pressure to make sense of everything immediately.

In this episode, I want to slow things down.

We'll talk about what those first days often feel like, why you don't need all the answers right now, and how to begin sorting through your experience without rushing to conclusions. I'll also share parts of my own journey and the practices that helped me find steadiness when everything felt uncertain.

If you're in the beginning of this journey, I hope this episode helps you take one deep breath and remember that you're not alone.

In This Episode

  • How to process without becoming consumed by fear
  • The difference between healing and avoidance
  • Why it's important not to rewrite your entire marriage overnight
  • Learning to "zoom in" and "zoom out" as you make sense of your story
  • The role of faith, compassion, and hope in the healing process

This podcast is for educational purposes only. It does not replace therapy, and it's not a substitute for professional mental health care. The examples I share are brief snapshots designed to illustrate a principle and may not apply to every situation. Because every relationship is unique, consider these principles thoughtfully and seek individualized professional guidance when needed. If your relationship involves violence, intimidation, or you have concerns for your safety, please seek support from professionals who can help you assess your specific situation and address it appropriately.
