When Jen offered to be a guest on my podcast, it was to talk about the huge decision she made to give up her life-long Teaching career in midlife. I was happy for her to share this but the story I was most interested in was the one about having a father who held strong homophobic views. So strong was his homophobia that for years, Jen felt she had to live a double life until in midlife, her and Fiona decided to marry. Jen had to face the fact the she could no longer keep her sexuality a secret.....
This podcast was recorded in March 20 pre lock-down.
Jen now runs a tutor centre in Leeds. Click on the link below to check out what her and her team provide.
