Josalyn Isbell, disabled veteran, former Marine, writer, and fashion model, explores what it really looks like to become yourself against the odds. She shares her journey from military life to stepping into the world of fashion, and from years of suppression to embracing her identity as a trans woman.

At the heart of the conversation is a simple but powerful idea: life is hard anyway, so you might as well live it truthfully. This episode is for anyone who feels the pull to express themselves but hesitates—whether that looks like a bold life change or something as small as putting on the hat.
