  • Recorded when the show was previously titled The Lesbian Class Podcast

Today's guest is Josie, a 7th-grade teacher and transgender woman. We discuss her path into education and her journey of self-discovery. After six years in the museum field and some encouragement from her wife during the pandemic, Josie became a middle school teacher — and she’s now five years in, thriving in a supportive, accepting school environment. Her story shows how living authentically can lead to deeper relationships, greater joy, and a more fulfilling life.
