Summary

Haley Holm is a veteran air force pilot. She completed 22 combat missions in Afghanistan. But during this time, Haley was known as Jim. Jim was described by friends as a very masculine man from a military family. But Jim had a secret. He longed to be female. How does a person find the courage to explore a new identity in one of the most male dominated workplaces in the world? For Haley…it was one sock at a time.

In this episode:

Haley’s first memories of questioning her gender.
Joining the Airforce and finishing at the top of the class.
Stepping out as Haley for the first time and navigating this new identity.
Letting go of her biological family and gaining a new support system.
What it means to belong and provide a safe space for others.
