The Story That Changes Minds – Celebrati...

Dr. Keri & Kelly – Personal Growth Essentials
About this episode

Trystan Reese is a dad to three great kids, he has a loving partner, and a fulfilling career. It's a beautiful, somewhat typical life. But as a transgender man, there's nothing typical about how he got here.


How he grew his family – from an unexpected adoption, to his very public trans pregnancy – is a huge part of how Trystan does his LGBTQ+ advocacy work. And in this episode, we hear Trystan’s family story, how he pushes past judgment to tell his story, and why, even with the war on DE&I, he thinks there’s still hope.


About Trystan

Trystan is a transgender storyteller, facilitator, and parent. His family exploded into the public eye after being featured on the parenting podcast The Longest Shortest Time. His family’s story has since been covered by hundreds hundreds of news outlets across the globe.


Riveting, emotional storytelling has garnered Trystan Reese national recognition, critical acclaim, and devoted fans. In addition to running his consulting firm, Collaborate Consulting, Trystan works as an executive coach and author.
