In this episode, award-winning musician and proud transgender man, Dylan Holloway, shares his story of self-discovery, challenges, and the power of authenticity through music.

We discuss: Early Life & Self-Realization:

From a young age, Dylan knew he was a boy, despite being born in a female body. A childhood moment of declaring himself his brother reinforced his awareness and the challenges of expressing his true self.

Disconnection from Intuition: Due to societal pressures and lack of safety, Dylan distanced himself from his intuition, only to later reconnect and embrace his identity.

Challenges in a Small Town: Growing up in a conservative area with limited LGBTQ+ visibility, Dylan faced misunderstanding and isolation, often feeling the need to disassociate.

Music as Self-Expression: Music became Dylan’s outlet, allowing him to express his feelings through drums, guitar, and lyrics. He found inspiration in David Bowie’s gender-fluid style.

Discovery of the Trans Community: Moving to London and meeting other transgender people was a turning point. This connection provided Dylan with the courage to transition and live authentically.

Transitioning & Self-Acceptance: Starting his transition brought relief and freedom. Embracing his past self became part of his healing journey, and he now creates music to reflect his evolution. Inspiring Authenticity Through Art: Dylan's music, including duets with his past self, aims to inspire others to embrace their true selves.

Upcoming Projects: Dylan is working on a new EP, Mosaic, a documentary about his transition, and initiatives to promote authenticity and inclusion in schools.

Message of Resilience: Message of Resilience: Dylan is working on a project where he can talk about the transgender community in school in order to educate on this very important topic so that children and adult don't feel out pf place, bullied and to release the fear around it

In this episode, former sales executive and poker player turned executive coach Kate Turner shares her journey through the "mid-career meltdown" and her work with professionals who feel burned out or dissatisfied in their careers. Kate provides actionable insights for navigating career changes, reconnecting with personal values, and making intentional choices. Her unique path, influenced by the strategic thinking and intuition she developed through poker, reveals how crucial it is to align your career with who you truly are.

Key Insights and Takeaways:

• The Power of Self-Reflection: Kate stresses the importance of understanding your core values and allowing intuition to guide career decisions. Reflecting on what matters most can bring clarity to your goals and help you make meaningful changes.
• Strategic Thinking and Risk-Taking: Through poker, Kate honed her ability to strategize and take calculated risks—skills she applied to her career. She encourages listeners to take small, manageable steps toward change rather than waiting for a “perfect time.”
• The Impact of Corporate Culture: Kate reflects on her experience with the high-stakes, cutthroat nature of corporate environments. She shares her realization that dissatisfaction often stemmed from ignoring her needs and values, reinforcing the importance of staying true to yourself.
• Redefining Success: Many professionals fall into the trap of aligning with societal expectations. Kate discusses the value of creating a career that fits your true desires, even if it means breaking away from traditional paths.
• Addressing Self-Worth and Identity: Career changes often come with questions about identity and worth. Kate encourages addressing these deeper issues to build a fulfilling, authentic career.

Practical Steps for Navigating Career Changes:

1. Reflect on Your Values: Identify what truly matters to you. Write down your top five values and consider whether your current role supports or conflicts with them.
2. Take Small, Strategic Steps: Don’t feel pressured to overhaul your life overnight. Start with small actions that align with your goals and values.
3. Seek Support: Whether it’s a mentor, coach, or peer group, surrounding yourself with support can make a huge difference in staying grounded and focused during transitions.
4. Visualize Your Ideal Career: Spend a few minutes each day imagining yourself in a role that feels aligned. Notice the details of what you’re doing and how it feels, and allow this vision to guide your decisions.
5. Check in with Your Intuition: Trust your inner voice as you make choices. Notice any signals or gut feelings, as they often point toward authentic desires and away from misaligned paths.

Kate’s story is a powerful reminder that aligning our careers with our true selves can lead to deep satisfaction and success, even if it means redefining the conventional career journey.

In this episode, we’re continuing our journey on aligning with your future self and stepping into the life you envision started last week.

I start with a quick recap of the first four foundational steps—setting intentions, connecting emotionally through visualization, practicing gratitude, and aligning energy through heart coherence. If you missed the previous episode, be sure to give it a listen, but remember, you can follow these steps in any order that resonates with you.

Then, I dive into four new steps to bring your future vision even closer:

• Raise Your Energy with Movement: Movement is a powerful way to release stuck energy and welcome in fresh, vibrant energy. Whether it's yoga, dancing, or even cooking, choose an activity that aligns with how your future self feels and imagine embodying that energy as you move.

• Act As If You’re Already There: Embody the energy of your future self by creating the atmosphere you want in your life. Small actions—like treating yourself to a solo date or making lifestyle changes—can help you feel like you’re already living that future reality, without overspending or forcing change.

• Release Old Patterns and Fears: Often, old fears and doubts arise as we envision a new future. I suggest journaling about any negative thoughts and using techniques like EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to release patterns rooted in past experiences. Embrace this step to make space for the new.

• Tune Into Possibility: Shift your energy by focusing on possibilities and your potential. When you release fear, allow yourself to believe in opportunities and synchronicities coming your way. This mindset helps you attract what you’re truly capable of achieving.

Finally, I recap all eight steps, reminding us of the power in following them as a cohesive process to reach any big goal. Tune in for upcoming episodes with guest interviews and even more insights to connect with your future self!
