Description
What happens when you're known for one thing - good or bad - and now you're trying to be something else? Stories of people trying to change the way the world sees them. Recovering addict Shane Sturby-Highfield shares the challenges of trying to make amends and regain the trust of people he's hurt. Writer Rhea Rollman has many articles she's published, but all under a different name. Now that she's come out publicly as a trans woman, she's changing that one email at a time.

He now has aspirations to reinvent himself and morph from Yassine the cubicle-dwelling accountant, into the Yassine he really is today. For the last two months, Stacey Chicoine has been carefully writing her own obituary. But she’s not anywhere close to death. This 41-year-old mom-of-two tells us how writing her own life story, in her own words, has been such a powerful experience - and why she’s sharing parts of herself in her obituary she’s never shared with anyone.
