We’re living in a time where attention is currency and everything seems to come with a price tag.

In this chapter, I reflect on fame, monetization, social media metrics, privacy, and why I’ve chosen to keep my creative work free. Not because I can’t monetize it — but because I don’t want to lose the joy of it.

When the world measures your worth in engagement, how do you protect your soul?

🌍 Listeners Around the World

In this special chapter of my documentary, I celebrate all 32 countries where this podcast is being heard. Together, we reflect on the state of the world, honor resilience and beauty in every culture, and remind ourselves that love, equality, and human rights matter for everyone.

Sit back with your favorite drink or snack, no passport needed, and travel the world with me as we connect across continents, cultures, and hearts. From Canada to Ecuador, Ukraine to Australia—this chapter is a reminder that we are all human, we are all connected, and we must do better for each other.

Lately, it feels like aging is treated as a personal failure and perfection is something we’re all expected to chase. Wrinkles aren’t just lines anymore — they’re seen as flaws. Bodies aren’t allowed to change. Faces aren’t allowed to move.

In this chapter, I talk honestly about how beauty standards have gotten out of control — from fillers and plastic surgery to filters, Instagram, TikTok, and the pressure to look young no matter the cost. I get into the disconnect between the “perfect” faces and bodies we see online and what’s often happening behind the screen, including anxiety, addiction, burnout, and self-destruction.

This isn’t about shaming anyone or judging personal choices. It’s about questioning a system that thrives on insecurity, unpacking our fear of aging, and remembering that bodies are meant to be lived in — not constantly fixed.

Perfection isn’t peace. And the illusion is real.

In this chapter, I talk honestly about why I’ve stepped away from online dating—not from love, not from connection, but from the apps themselves. As a trans woman who later came into herself as a lesbian, online dating taught me a lot… and also showed me exactly what no longer aligns.

I reflect on two real experiences that shifted my perspective, why ENM and open dynamics—while valid for some—don’t fit who I am at my core, and how choosing depth, clarity, and self-respect has changed how I move through dating entirely.

This isn’t a rant and it isn’t bitterness. It’s about self-awareness, boundaries, and choosing alignment over algorithms. Sometimes opting out is the most grounded decision you can make.

In “Aligned by Design,” explore astrology, numerology, and the inner guidance of energy and clarity. Discover how your Sun, Moon, Rising, Life Path, Soul, and Name numbers reveal patterns in love, work, and self. Learn why energy alignment matters more than surface attraction, how honoring your vibration strengthens your life, and why choosing yourself first is a powerful act of intentional living. A reflective, interactive journey to notice the signals your body, mind, and spirit are giving you — so nothing feels random, and everything feels aligned.

Siblings—the people we don’t choose, but who shape us in ways big and small. In this episode, Lana explores the ups and downs of sibling relationships, sharing personal stories, from celebrating her 19th birthday with her older brother to navigating transitions, support, and life’s challenges. She also dives into the psychology of sibling dynamics, including boundaries, partner relationships, and knowing when stepping back is the healthiest choice. This is a reflective, relatable conversation about love, growth, and caring for both yourself and the people you love.

Every poem has a heartbeat, and every word deserves to be heard. In Echoes of Me, I transform my original poetry into songs — blending voice, melody, and emotion into intimate soundscapes that invite you to listen closely. Each episode is a journey through thought, feeling, and rhythm, where the words linger, the music carries, and the experience is yours to feel. This isn’t just poetry, and it isn’t just music — it’s the space where they meet. Some of the musical elements are created with the help of a program, while the poetry and arrangement remain entirely mine.

This is Part 1 of an ongoing series — new poems, new songs, and new echoes coming soon. Subscribe to catch each one as it’s released.

Chapstick Lesbian is about choosing clarity over performance. I didn’t change my style, my personality, or my femininity — I just stopped centering men.

This chapter is about listening to your body, setting real boundaries, and allowing desire to tell the truth without shame. It’s honest, grounded, and about finally letting go of what no longer fits.

Therapy, diagnosis, and responsibility in modern trans healthcare.

In this chapter, Lana explores why medical transition must be treated as serious healthcare — not a social trend. Drawing from her lived experience as a medically transitioned trans woman, Canadian healthcare data, and real statistics, she discusses the importance of therapy, diagnosis, and responsible access to care. She also explains why medical transition and gender expression are not the same — and why protecting access to proper trans healthcare, especially for youth, matters.

Authenticity & Being Original explores the difference between showing up as your true self and standing out as your own unique energy. Lana dives into why not everyone will understand your growth, why some people become background characters in your story, and how being real can be both empowering and lonely. This episode breaks down the pros, the cons, and the clarity that comes from seeing through people’s fakeness and protecting your peace.
