After years of internal struggles and a career spent in the military, Jaxon Feeley made the life-changing decision to transition from being a woman to a man. Despite reservations and doubts, Jaxon has since become a beacon for those going through similar changes, and has discovered in the course of his own journey, that people's attitudes and approaches to his new identity have been surprisingly supportive, and found in the least likely of places.
In this special episode, Jaxon talks to Steven about his journey so far, the challenges people face when attempting to find their true identity, the effect of social media upon identity, and why we should live life to the fullest each and every day.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Altering our lives in such a radical way is a terrifying enough prospect, as it requires a wholesale revolution of the way we live. It is made far easier by the understanding and support of others.
Social media is showing us a skewed version of life, and one that is hard to live up to. The issue is that many only choose to post the positives, instead of the realities.
Life is ours for the taking. We only get one shot. We cannot spend our single, unique existence in the pursuit of pleasing others and their preferences. We have to live for ourselves.
The process of transitioning is not one to be taken lightly. From a medical standpoint, doctors want to receive assurances that your decision has been made of your own free will, and that you have taken all considerations into account.

ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.
As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
