Chloe opens up about the decades of suppressed femininity, the deep shame she felt, and the ultimate relief of finally living her truth. We explore critical topics including: •Chloe's lifelong struggle with gender identity, from wishing she could wake up as a girl in the '90s to the profound grief of missing out on her 20s and 30s. •The pivotal moment her "egg cracked" in 2023 and the emotional process of coming out to her parents via a heartfelt letter. •The story behind choosing her name, Chloe, and why she still goes by Lucy on socials. •The differences between moving through the world as a man versus a woman, including the loss of male privilege and the joy of finally feeling connected to her body. •Her bold decision to leave a 25-year corporate career to travel, write a romance novel (Transatlantic), and pursue trans femme coaching. •A powerful message to transphobes about the painful reality of transition (like electrolysis) and why it is absolutely not a "choice."
