This episode is for anyone who has found themselves somewhere in the middle- between what life used to be, and what it's becoming. Navigating without a roadmap, but trusting ( and following ) the "yeses" along the way!

My guest today is Erinn Eichinger. Erinn is a producer, writer and professor with more than 25 years of experience in the television industry. She shares her journey from working in journalism and local news to becoming a successful segment producer for lifestyle television- and recently going back to school to obtain a masters degree in journalism with a focus on gender representation in the media.

Erinn is currently working on a documentary In Transition that explores her child’s 10 year gender transition and her own journey in coming to terms with it.

This episode unpacks parallel stories of transition, and what we discover about life, and ourselves , along the way!

In this episode we get into:

• Erinn's journey from working for other people, to creating her own content and sharing her story with the others. Plus what it's like to make a documentary on your own!

• Real talk about grappling with her own biases and preconceived notions about gender - and transitioning to acceptance and understanding.

• Personal insights on "Imposter Syndrome", surrendering control, and learning to love yourself
