Running, Writing, and Becoming with Simran Chugani

Simran Chugani brings a powerful conversation with co-hosts Kenyon Farrow and Shawn Aaron about what it means to live authentically while navigating athletics, art, activism, and political hostility.

They explain how running helped them connect with their body and build confidence, while poetry gave them the freedom to explore identity and tell the truth more honestly. Simran pushes back on the narratives used to target transgender people and offers a broader understanding of gender-affirming care. The episode closes with practical wisdom about rest, community, collective care, and learning to treat yourself with more beauty and grace.
