EP 067 - Caragh Donley Shares Her Inspiring Journey as a Transgender Individual and Coming Out at 63

In this episode, we are privileged to have a special guest, Caragh Donley, who is going to share her inspiring story about her journey as a transgender individual. She will encourage us to know that it is never too late to start living our authentic lives and being our best selves. Caragh took the brave step of coming out at the age of 63 and has shared her story with HuffPost and live on the Kelly Clarkson show, where she works as a producer. I will include the relevant links in the show notes for those interested in learning more about her story.

In the Huff Post, Caragh says, "These experiences make it clear that transitioning has never been about "switching genders." Instead, it's really about finally experiencing self-worth, taking the lead in my life instead of watching it from the mezzanine, and not only trusting others with my story but also trusting myself — none of which I ever expected to do at 63."

More about Caragh:

She has worked for outlets including People magazine, TV Guide, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, Emmy Magazine, and Vanity Fair. She's the author of "The Can't-idates: Running for President When Nobody Knows Your Name."
