Ep. 187 – Living Authentically: Daniela’s Journey as a Trans Woman. In this episode of The CrossYAAS Podcast, Billie sits down with Daniela, a trans woman navigating identity, family expectations, and self-acceptance. We dive deep into her journey—from childhood feelings of dysphoria to discovering her trans identity through social media, facing challenges with her conservative family, and the complexities of living a double life.
We also explore the importance of self-care, the struggles of taking HRT consistently, and what it truly means to be an advocate for the trans community. It’s an honest, unfiltered conversation about fear, resilience, and the ongoing process of embracing one’s truth.
Throughout this episode, you’ll notice moments of silence—because sometimes, the hardest thing is finding the words to describe our own truths. Daniela is still processing, and this conversation reflects that real-time journey of self-discovery.
Listen in as we ask the tough questions: Who are you, really? And how do you take care of that person?
