🇺🇸 Ep 10: Shedding Layers: Mercedes Kostucki’s Journey to Living Authentically
Description
Warning: this episode openly discusses suicide.
In our last episode of this season, we had the opportunity to speak to Mercedes Kostucki, a Belgian trans woman who shares her raw and courageous story of transformation. Mercedes openly discusses her journey through gender transition and the struggles she faced, including suicidal thoughts, as she fought to live authentically in a world that often rejects those who don't conform.
We dive into the emotional and psychological challenges of transitioning and the weight of family and social expectations. Mercedes speaks with vulnerability about the darkest moments of her life and the hard won path that eventually led her to self-acceptance. A testament to resilience and the courage to embrace who you truly are, her story speaks to the healing power of intimacy and connection.
