Jay Pryor is a life coach, speaker, corporate trainer, and
author who inspires people to harness their power to create the
lives of their dreams.
He works exclusively with women, and among other reasons, has a
great reason why: he used to be one.
Jay was born as a female and transitioned to male in 2001 when
he was in his 30s. The second I heard Jay's story and
mission, I knew I had to get him on the WANTcast. You
hopefully know I don't play favorites, but honestly, I've been
telling everyone I know that this podcast is coming up, even the
people who don't normally listen to podcasts - that's how
important I think this episode is.
In this episode we talk in detail about Jay's experience
transitioning, his reality show stint, and having a need to do more
to help a cause without even knowing what that help
looks like. We also talk about why Jay chooses to work
specifically with women, being "hijacked" and how to get your brain
back on track, the huge things holding women back, and so, so much
more.
There's been a lot of press right now around the North
Carolina restroom laws, which had not been passed yet when we
scheduled this interview, but I'm so glad that Jay and I got a
chance to talk about that, too.
This episode took me a while to edit, and not because I edited
a lot of it. Just the opposite actually – I barely edited anything.
But I found myself transfixed by it and having to go back because I
wasn't in editor mode I was in listener mode. That's how good Jay
is.
WANT Jay.
