Tisha Olsen's Powerful Story of Transformation and Advocacy

I was shunned when I was found out and punished for it. It's unbelievable what we will do to each other just because we don't understand or because we feel that it is wrong.
Imagine facing discrimination and violence just for being yourself. Tisha Olsen knows this all too well. Growing up transgender, she endured unimaginable hardships, including the horrifying loss of friends who were targeted for their identity. In a gripping episode of 'Odyssey House Journals', Tisha opens up about her journey from deep shame and addiction to a place of recovery and advocacy.
Her story isn't just about overcoming personal demons; it's about finding strength in vulnerability and using that strength to help others. Tisha even joined the Marines in an attempt to prove her manhood, only to find that alcohol was a constant companion through her struggles. This episode offers a raw look at the unique challenges faced by the transgender community and underscores the critical need for representation and support.
Tisha's resilience shines through as she talks about her recovery journey and how she's now giving back to those who face similar battles. If you're interested in real, unfiltered stories of transformation, this episode is a must-listen.
