The Break Up Break Down
Break Down Bonus: Discovering your sexuality later in life w/ Lexi
S3E9 was all about exploring your sexuality as an adult. Lexi joins Abby to talk about how similar her own coming out journey was to this week's main episode's guest. She talks about how she dated only guys until college and the experience that made her decide she'd prefer to date women. We also get into coming out to friends and family and how difficult it can be when they don't take it well.
