Dom L'Amour speaks with good friend Leana Welker AKA (@Leanadelalune) about Transitioning to a new gender, the struggles, and the rewards of the move.
What does it truly mean to live authentically? This week, we sit down with Leana Welker, who shares her heartfelt journey of transitioning from male to female over the past year. You'll hear about the intricate layers of self-love, the nuanced changes in personal expression, and the mixed bag of reactions from family and friends. Leana's courage and determination illuminate the broader societal struggles faced by transgender individuals and emphasize the immense importance of personal identity.
Liana opens up about a pivotal emotional breakdown that led her to unearth hidden aspects of her past. Her poignant reflection offers hope and understanding for those on similar paths. From the role of therapy and self-reflection in her journey to the significance of self-awareness, this chapter is a powerful testament to personal growth and inner strength.
Lastly, we tackle the thorny issue of inner criticism and self-doubt, both within the trans community and beyond. Leana’s experiences highlight the often-overlooked impact of negative self-talk and external influences on our internal dialogue. We explore how outdated self-protection mechanisms can impede our growth and the importance of fostering a supportive internal environment. Join us as we explore the beauty of experiencing life authentically, finding joy in life's milestones, and rediscovering activities that bring true happiness.
