Iden Crockett | The mask

*TW: this episode contains discussions of suicide, please listen with caution.*

New episode is LIVE. This week on the pod, Jay welcomes Iden Crockett. Iden is a true Renaissance woman: artist, writer, photographer, musician and so much more, but this has been her second lease on life. Iden was a paramedic and firefighter for 25 years before being forced out of her job after she came out as trans. Her art has since been a vehicle for discussing her experience with PTSD, gender dysphoria, self injury, and eating disorders. In the episode, Jay and Iden discuss Iden's journey and work, but also address how we can live authentically in a society that may not accept us for who we are.
