#32 | Being Trans, Mental Health & Learning To Be Yourself - with My Brother

This is one of the most honest and most meaningful episodes I have ever made.

Theo is my brother and this is a conversation I have wanted to have for a long time. In this episode Theo shares his journey growing up, coming to understand his identity as a trans man, navigating his mental health through that process, and what life looks like now on the other side of becoming fully himself.

We get into what it was like before he had the language to understand what he was feeling, the courage it took to say it out loud, and what the world looks like having lived as both a woman and a man.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed bringing it together xo

We cover:

Growing up and the feelings Theo carried before he had the words for them
Coming to understand his gender identity and what that process actually looked like
Mental health throughout his transition and what helped most
What it's like having lived as both a woman and a man and what that perspective teaches you
Psychology, identity and what he has learned about himself along the way
What he wishes people understood and what he would tell his younger self
