From the age of 5 Janae knew she was different, being born as a male but realising that deep down Matt was born to be Janae. Growing up in an era that had limited knowledge about being transgender led to Janae spending many years confused and at times in denial.
Janae has undergone multiple surgeries since fully accepting her authentic self and she now stands proud as a woman of courage.
In this episode you will hear real life insight into the challenges Janae has faced and continues to face. Her true desire to fully embrace femininity often meets conflicting feelings of pursuing her passion to be a high level competitor. Janae describes how it feels to battle with the acceptance that letting go of muscle mass directly affects her strength as a powerlifter, her journey continues as a Transgender woman and athlete.
Her message is clear, becoming authentic means being true to yourself.
