Gay Men Over 50: Is Comfort Keeping You From Becoming Who You Really Are?

Have you become comfortable—or have you become yourself?

For gay men over 50, the second half of life can bring questions we may have spent decades avoiding.

Who am I now? What am I holding onto because it feels safe? How much of my life reflects what I genuinely want—and how much comes from who I learned I was supposed to be?

In this episode of The Wisdom Trust, Loren Crawford talks with psychotherapist and Somatic Experiencing teacher Burns Galloway about inner work, authenticity, aging, identity, purpose and connection.

Inner work isn't limited to therapy. It can include spiritual practice, coaching, self-inquiry, listening to the body, questioning old beliefs and becoming more conscious about how we want to live.

Burns also challenges some familiar assumptions: Do we always need a purpose? What happens when we stop performing for other people? And can comfort itself become something that keeps us from changing?

Perhaps most importantly, they explore why meaningful change can be difficult in isolation.

The Wisdom Trust is a podcast and community for gay men over 50 who want deeper connection, meaningful friendship, honest conversation and a richer second half of life.
