“Self-Acceptance Is My Superpower”: Coming Out Later + Creating Change

What happens when you stop negotiating with your truth? In this episode of Empowered & Out, Coach Jon welcomes back Aime Hutton for a powerful conversation about coming out later in life, self-acceptance, workplace belonging, and finding the courage to live more honestly. Aime shares her journey of coming out in her 40s, navigating internalized homophobia, telling family, learning to trust herself, and figuring out what safety and authenticity look like at work. She also opens up about her work helping adults with barriers find meaningful employment through Open Door Group’s Work Abilities Program, and the inclusion work she’s doing as Chair of the Gender and Sexual Diversity Advisory Board for the Calgary Police Service. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt behind, afraid, unseen, or unsure if there is space for them to be fully themselves. If you are navigating identity, career confidence, workplace inclusion, or the long road back to yourself, this conversation is for you.
