**TRIGGER WARNING - SEXUALITY**
On this episode of Things I Wish I'd Known, Rachael welcomes Anne-Marie Zanzal, to delve into the journey of coming out later in life. Together we'll explore Anne-Marie's journey of self-discovery and acceptance. Growing up in a conservative, religious household, she shares how it took her 50 years to find her true self as a later-in-life lesbian. From growing up with strict rules about sex and marriage and the fear of the AIDS epidemic in the 80s to realising her own sexuality, we talk about finding a supportive community, embracing diversity, and the importance of mental health. Rachael also shares a special offer for the celebration of Happy Habits Club's third birthday! This is not to be missed.
