“Today’s episode reflects on the experience of transgender transition not as a process of becoming new, but as a sacred homecoming and remembering of an ancient, true self. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, draws on Celtic mythology, utilises the figures of Brigid (forge, well, and hearth), the Z-Rod symbol, and the Cailleach to frame the journey through physical changes, emotional depths, and the quiet act of inhabiting one's body. Transition is presented as a ritual of self-becoming, emphasising tenderness, vulnerability, and daily presence over a fixed outcome. The process is cyclical, not linear, a continuous return to the authentic self sustained by inner strength and acceptance.”
