What does it mean to live as your truest self?
In this episode, Ben Walters speaks with author Jay DeFazio, whose new memoir You Only Live Twice: A Memoir in Two Genders chronicles his remarkable journey as a transgender man. Together they explore identity, resilience, and the freedom that comes from aligning who you are on the inside with how you show up in the world.
Jay shares what it took to face fear, navigate change, and embrace both the challenges and joys of transition—reminding us that authenticity is a lifelong practice, not a destination.
