Demystifying the Transgender Journey
Meet The Hosts
Lynn W. Murphy, M.Ed.
A cisgender woman, Lynn W. Murphy is an Amazon #1 bestselling author, podcast host, and founder of Women Who Push the Limits®—a movement that strives to recognize, celebrate, and share the stories of women who are making positive differences in the world.
Though she never aspired to be a writer, she has always been a teacher. Her experience interviewing 50 amazing women from diverse backgrounds and experiences for her bestselling book Women Who Push the Limits Presents 50 Life Lessons from Inspiring Women gave her deep connections with women she would not otherwise have met. Lynn knows that sharing the amazing stories of others’ lives and challenges feeds her lifelong desire to teach.
For her current project, Demystifying the Transgender Journey, Lynn is interviewing people who were born transgender, family members, friends, coworkers, healthcare professionals, and allies who support the community.
These interviews are the source of podcast episodes and YouTube videos and will eventually be content for a book.
She started her consulting, coaching, and soft-skills training business, Key Innovative Business Solutions, over 20 years ago and continues to work with clients in large and small businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations though she now devotes the majority of her time to this project.
Wendy Cole
A Gender Diversity Consultant, Wendy Cole, helps agencies, businesses, and organizations navigate evolving social landscapes through education and training on transgender and LGBTQ+ issues. As a sought-after speaker, she guides audiences through unfamiliar terrain with clarity, compassion, and lived experience. Her mission is to foster meaningful social change by humanizing what it means to be born transgender and LGBTQ+, offering a map where there was once uncertainty.
Born transgender, Wendy fully stepped into her life as an affirmed woman in 2015—a crossing that reshaped every horizon of her being. Since then, she has shared her hard-won insights on nearly sixty podcasts and currently co-hosts Demystifying the Transgender Journey, a space where listeners are invited to walk alongside real stories rather than abstract ideas. Wendy speaks openly about how becoming an affirmed woman transformed her physical, mental, and emotional well-being, allowing her to live with greater alignment and wholeness.
She is currently charting two new paths in her writing: one book that traces her personal journey and the lessons learned along the way, and another that helps parents find their footing as they support transgender family members. Her work has been published by PFLAG and LinkedIn, further establishing her as a trusted guide for those seeking understanding, empathy, and direction in an evolving landscape.
