In Part 2, we pick up Daryl Hine's story at the moment he sits his three children down and discover that the hardest conversation of his life was met with something he didn't expect: acceptance.

But knowing the truth and acting on it are two different things. What followed was years of going round in circles, wanting to be honest, terrified of the hurt it would cause, retreating, then starting again. A deep marriage to Paula, a new relationship with Ed, and no version of the future where nobody got hurt.

This is the half of the story about how you actually move, when there's no clean answer and no one to blame.

In this episode we talk about:

• Telling his grown-up children, and their remarkable response
• The trip to the Philippines that forced the decision
• The advice that finally landed: you may never know for certain, but doing nothing harms everyone you love
• Why he sees his life as two chapters — and wouldn't give up either
• Finding acceptance, Pride, and what living authentically really feels like
• His advice for any man sitting where he once sat

Daryl's three takeaways for anyone stuck: doing nothing isn't an option, don't wait for a perfect roadmap before you take the first step, and find someone to talk to. Living in fear is no way to live and it's never too late to live honestly.

Daryl is a business consultant and founder of Abundant Solutions.
