Episode 3 - Finding Her Way: Stasia’s Story of Strength, Acceptance & the Healing Power of Nature

In this deeply personal episode of Trail Tales WA, we sit down with Stasia — a parent, advocate, and hiker — to hear her story of navigating life with two transgender children.

Stasia opens up about the emotional challenges, the strength she found in unconditional love, and the impact that walking on country had in helping her process, reflect, and reconnect with herself. The trails became more than just a place to walk — they became a space to breathe, heal, and find direction again.

Through vulnerability and resilience, Stasia shares what it means to show up, to support your children without condition, and to rediscover your own identity along the way.

This episode is about love, nature, growth, and the power of walking through life’s toughest transitions — one step at a time.
