Priya Sudarsanam talks with David Osterman, Certified Gay Men's Life Coach

In this episode, I’m joined by David Osterman, a certified gay men’s life coach who came out at 42 after 25 years with his wife and raising three sons.

David shares:

What it was like to finally say “I’m gay” after a lifetime of feeling different

The emotional fallout of leaving a “picture-perfect” straight life and starting over

The unique challenges gay men 40+ face as they step into the gay world for the first time

Why accountability, clear goals, and support matter so much when you’re coming out later in life

How he uses mindset work and NLP to help clients move from fear and procrastination into aligned action

We also talk about navigating family reactions, finding your chosen family, and why it’s never too late to stop living a double life and start living as your authentic self.
