When we talk about adventure on the show it is usually about things like backpacking or rock climbing, but in this episode, the adventure is much closer to home. Our guest, Alex Vaillancourt, talks about the challenges and rewards of finding and living his truth. Born female, Alex is transitioning to male while working in the demanding field of industrial rope access. Most people only hear about transgender folks when it comes to political issues so it is easy to forget that they are real people facing obstacles most of us can never truly understand. Join us as we find out what it is like to transition, how the world has reacted and how we can make life less difficult for trans people.
