15: The Act of Showing Up - Jase Cannon

Dear Queer People - A podcast by Carlos Brandt

Categories:

I’m at currently at the edge of what my mind and body knows, the edge of grief, the edge of acceptance, surrender and realizing how I can show up better in life. As Rumi says, “The wound is the place the light enters you.” This week I invite you to join me into this episode with my very special guest: Jase Cannon. I sit down to talk with her about the process of showing up for yourself and for others, how our struggles and traumas can lead to become the fuel to reborn into something new. Jase was born Jason, and came out as a woman in the summer of 2015 during a karma yoga retreat at the Sivananda Ashram. Through producing short documentaries about her work and speaking publicly at events, on television, and publishing multimedia accounts of her journey, Jase has cast a wide net in the worlds of wellness, philanthropy, gender studies to bring these elements together and create a powerful platform for ever greater self-expression for all. I can't be more grateful to connect with her.
