About this listen

Connor and Carolyn chat about the early days of social transition - from trying out new names at Starbucks to dealing with high school friend dramas. Lots of practical chat about what worked, what didn't, and why your mum might get a bit punchy at the markets (and why she'll never be sorry about it).

The Good Stuff We Cover:

• Why friends are usually a great first testing ground (and why that can also get complicated)

• The utility of inventing new Instagram personas every week

• How Connor landed on his name (after trying approximately 47 others)

• What to do when medical receptionists and others need your "other" name

• Why Carolyn had her boxing gloves on 24/7 for a while there

• The unexpected chill of younger siblings

Hot Tips:

• Want to test drive a new name? Order a coffee. Seriously.

• Got weird admin stuff to deal with? Write it down instead of saying it

• Feeling lost with style? Start with what feels good, not what you think you "should" wear

Real Talk:

There's no rulebook here. Some stuff works, some doesn't, and that's totally fine. It's all about finding what clicks for you.

Length: 35 mins
