    028 - 2021 Year In Review
    Dec 30 2021

    Hey Guys, 

    Finally, a new episode! I don't expect anyone to remember I have a podcast; it's been that long. 

    Here's a quick, although not that short, rundown of the year that was 2021. Plenty occurred from moving back to Sydney, studying at uni, booking my first paid shoot and more. 

    I hope you enjoy it, although I must admit I have no idea of when I'll record another episode. 

    Thanks, everyone :) 

    Chaye

    Xx

  • 027 - Why Modelling Is The Right Fit For Me

    027 - Why Modelling Is The Right Fit For Me
    Mar 17 2021
    Hey Guys,  Today someone asked me what I would do if I couldn't model anymore, and after some reflection and personal insights, I recognised that modelling for me is the perfect fit for who I am. It allows me to explore and master my physical body, my mental states, and express my emotions. I couldn't ask for a career and lifestyle that suits me any better.  I'm only at the start of this journey, and it's far from easy, but at least it feels right.  Thanks for listening,  Chaye Xx --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chayeunfolding/message

    001 - Is A Podcast About My Transgender Journey A Good Idea?
    Mar 9 2021
    This is my first podcast attempt. I'm 27 years old from Australia. A woman of transgender experience, and a fashion model. I want to talk about my journey so far, what I've learnt along the way, and hopefully, inspire others to go after their own "personal legends" and dreams.  I don't know if this podcast will last, but like most things in my life, I just want to give it a go and see how it plays out :) Thanks for listening, following, and subscribing! www.chayehartwell.com @chaye.hartwell --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chayeunfolding/message

    002 - My Transgender Journey - My Self Hate And Disgust At School
    Mar 9 2021
    In this episode, I share the first part of my life journey so far. I touch on how ashamed I was at school for having gender dysphoria, especially in attending an all-boys boarding school. I end the episode with the realisation that for the first part of my life I used my studies at both school and university as a way to hide my fear of wanting to live as a woman.  Thanks for listening, following, and subscribing! www.chayehartwell.com @chaye.hartwell --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chayeunfolding/message

  • 003 - My Transgender Journey - Hiding Who I Really Was At Uni

    003 - My Transgender Journey - Hiding Who I Really Was At Uni
    Mar 9 2021
    In this episode, I continue to talk about my journey so far. We pick things up with my time at university and how dedicated I was to lie to myself about who I really wanted to be. At the age of 22, I was still studying finance and accounting at uni and had started exploring the world of "pick up" as a way to hide who I really was. This episode brought out some tears in me.  Thanks for listening, following, and subscribing! www.chayehartwell.com @chaye.hartwell --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chayeunfolding/message

    004 - My Transgender Journey - Still Running From The Truth
    Mar 9 2021
    In this episode, I continue to talk about my journey so far. It explores how and why I left my corporate accounting job, how my family and friends reacted to that decision, and what I did afterwards. I discover for myself how multiple times in my life I got close to accepting my gender dysphoria but somehow managed to always run away from it. I end the episode having just met a very important person in my life, who without, Chaye could not exist as she does.  Thanks for listening, following, and subscribing! www.chayehartwell.com @chaye.hartwell --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chayeunfolding/message

  • 005 - My Transgender Journey - My Last Intimate Relationship

    005 - My Transgender Journey - My Last Intimate Relationship
    Mar 9 2021
    In this episode, I try to talk about the relationship that I had with someone when I came out as Transgender in 2018. I touch on how hard it is for couples to go through a transition, and how for me how my relationship began and ended with this person. It's difficult to not lie to someone you love when you are already lying to yourself.  Next episode I want to talk about the practical steps I took to transition, including starting hormones, seeing psychiatrists, GP's, and counsellors.  Thanks for listening, following, and subscribing! www.chayehartwell.com @chaye.hartwell --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chayeunfolding/message

    006 - My Transgender Journey - Starting Hormones
    Mar 9 2021
    In this episode, I talk about the steps that I took to begin my hormone treatment including seeing my GP for the first time, visiting a psychiatrist, and my counsellor. I also explain the initial effects of beginning my treatment and how I focused on presenting a more androgynous look at the start. I tried to keep this episode a bit more upbeat, but even still, I managed to talk about my struggles with food in the past and my obsession with healthy eating.  Thanks for listening, following, and subscribing! www.chayehartwell.com @chaye.hartwell --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chayeunfolding/message
