Baring it All with Rose and Chrystal

Let's Chat! send us a message, question or a confession to unpack!

In this episode we speak with the inspiring Ashleigh King, the official choreographer for the Jungle Body. They open up about life, their resilience required to relearn to walk and dance again after paralysis from transverse myelitis and diagnosis of MS, the evolution of their non-binary identity, motherhood, the dynamics of family life and finding true love with wife Rosie. Get ready for a deep dive into Ash's life as they share how love triumphed over adversity and how cutting their hair became a defining moment of self-expression, challenging societal norms and fostering personal liberation.
Have you ever considered the profound impact a haircut can have on your identity? Or how your children might teach you a thing or two about acceptance? We tackle these questions head-on, discussing the nuances of personal pronouns, child curiosity, and the generational differences in understanding gender. Through laughter and earnest reflection, Ash takes us through their journey of self-discovery in their sexuality and gender - identifying as non-binary and the importance of creating a safe space for candid conversations about sexuality, highlighting how these dialogues can educate, liberate and strengthen not only the individual but also the family unit.
We admire Ash's determination, positive attitude, insight, and endurance of love amidst life's transformations. Tune in for an episode that will not only move and uplift you but also remind you of how life-changing and powerful it can be to embrace our true selves.
