Summary
This week on Homo Sapiens, Jax Feeley joins me to co-host.
Jax opens up about unexpectedly becoming a father after just three dates, navigating parenthood as a trans man, and the life changes that pulled him away from social media and back into frontline care work. We discuss masculinity, trauma, identity, toxic online influences, and what it really means to make vulnerable young people feel safe.
