JUST DO YOU.
The JUST DO YOU. podcast is a vibrant space for authentic conversations designed to connect, inspire, and empower us. Through these conversations, we explore the journey to finding confidence, discovering our unique voice, and embracing our truth. Along the way, we just might uncover new perspectives that help us step into what I call the JUST DO YOU. sweet spot — the space where you're fully, unapologetically yourself.
Each week, I’m honored to sit down for unscripted conversations with friends, family, colleagues, community leaders, and influencers as they share their personal stories. Together, we’ll laugh, maybe shed a few tears, but most importantly, we’ll remind ourselves that no one journeys through life alone. I hope you enjoy these moments as much as I do.
So, are you ready? WELCOME to the conversation!
JUST DO YOU.
SPECIAL REPLAY! S1E18 Archer Gray - When Your Reflection Says It All
So November is Trans Awareness Month with today, the 20th purposefully marked as Transgender Day of Remembrance. This important day, which began in 1999 honors Rita Hester, a trans woman who was killed in Massachusetts.
Given the current climate post election and the relentless attack on our beautiful community, I felt it important to replay a very special episode that was first heard back in June. The hour I spent with Archer not only changed my life forever, his episode remains the highest number of downloads by far from Season 1 and based off of the many supportive comments we both received, I am clear it shifted the conversation of our listeners around the world.
So ... please join me for this special replay as I sit down with Archer Gray, a beautiful and compassionate Trans man who openly shares his personal transition story which began back in 2021. Archer authentically shares his journey for the first time publicly during this episode and I am so honored to have spent this incredible hour with him.
I have been following Archer on social media for quite some time and have been moved many times from uncontrollable laughter to an undeniable ugly, but meaningful cry all within the span of 2 to 3 videos. He is unapologetically real and it is this realness that resonates with everyone who actually takes the time to get to know him.
Archer uses his social media platform to showcase his remarkable path filled with an abundance of humor and a strong sense of his own truth AND reality! I learned so much from our time together and I am happy to now call him a friend. I know you will love him as much as I do.
