In this bonus episode, we honor the journey of Charlotte Dalwood—a speaker and writer whose journey is both deeply personal and incredibly moving. Charlotte opens up about what it was like growing up as a trans woman in a conservative evangelical home, navigating mental health struggles, gender dysphoria, and the path to embracing her true self. This conversation is raw, honest, and full of heart. We talk about the courage it takes to live authentically, the importance of creating safe, supportive spaces, and how simply listening—without judgment—can be a life-changing act. Charlotte’s vulnerability reminds us of the healing power of sharing our stories and the connection that happens when we hold space for one another. Whether you're walking through a similar journey or just want to understand more deeply, this episode invites you into a conversation about empathy, acceptance, and the beauty of becoming who you truly are.
