James Barnes || Trans Empowerment, Coping Skills

Today I got to interview James Barnes, also known as The Trans Coach. James is a Corporate Motivational Speaker and Stress + Mindset Coach whose mission in life is to empower people through life transitions in and out of work. He wants to help people create more empathy and understanding for not only others, but also themselves. He is a father, and husband, and also happens to be a Trans man. 

It was such an honor to have James on the podcast today to share his story about his own transition, and how his experience was healing the man that he’s always been. My favorite part of our conversation was when James talked about what it looks like to define yourself both in and out of your transition, versus just jumping from one checked box to the next. He talked about how important it is to just be a friend to yourself and learn who you’ve always been. Enjoy!
