Most people are not stuck because they lack talent.

They are stuck because they are hiding.

Hiding their voice.

Hiding their truth.

Hiding who they really are.

Today’s conversation is about what happens when you stop editing yourself and start owning the stage.

My guest is Ava Val. She is a John Candy Award winning comedian, musician, and actress.

She has written for This Hour Has 22 Minutes, appeared on Roast Battle Canada, and stunned audiences on Canada's Got Talent with a full sweep of yeses.

She is also the first trans performer to break multiple barriers across Canadian comedy and television.

But this episode is not about credits.

It is about courage.

It is about identity.

It is about leading with truth.
