·1 hr 21 min·5 clips

Jen says a March 2024 church moment led her to hear, “this is what I created you for.”

1. The Trans Narrative Podcast episode centers on Jennifer Marie’s story of faith, identity, coaching, and transition. 2. Jennifer Marie is the guest, and Caroline, Lori, and Alicia Mullins host the conversation because they connect her book, personal history, and family support work. 3. The episode asks how a Methodist upbringing, a late transition, and public storytelling became the basis for Jen’s Partners and Ask Me Anything. 4. Jennifer Marie says she knew she was different at age 4 and first cross-dressed around family spaces like her grandmother’s house. 5. She says she buried Jen for about 35 years and kept returning to cross-dressing whenever she had time alone. 6. She describes moving from seeing cross-dressing as clothing and calmness to understanding that it was not just a sexual fetish. 7. She says her teenage years brought sexual behavior into the experience, but later reflection made her see that it was also about release and relief. 8. Jennifer Marie says she grew up Methodist, had a grandfather who was a Methodist minister, and later attended an affirming church with LGBTQIA+ ministries. 9. She also says she explored Baptist and evangelical spaces through Awana and other church settings, while hearing that “all LGBT is wrong.” 10. She says that message created shame, denial, and a long effort to keep her identity hidden. 11. Jennifer Marie says she drew closer to God through transition rather than away from Christianity. 12. She says a church moment in March 2024 led her to hear, “this is what I created you for,” and to imagine herself speaking on stage. 13. She says that moment pushed her to write Ask Me Anything and create her business. 14. She explains that much of her book began as long Instagram and Facebook posts, then turned into journaling after divorce. 15. She says her coach pushed her to stop writing like a blog and ask why she did each thing in her life. 16. She says the audiobook required six and a half hours in one chair, returning to her male voice, which felt dysphoric. 17. The conversation is conversational and supportive, with the hosts often relating their own Christian or trans experiences back to hers. 18. The style is open, reflective, and interruption-heavy, with the hosts steering between background, faith, work, family, and the book. 19. People interested in Christian trans stories and family support will likely want this episode. 20. People looking for a tightly edited, fast-moving interview may skip it.

As heard by us

A reflective interview about faith, transition, and authenticity.

Jennifer Marie’s conversation keeps circling back to faith, identity, work, and family, and that gives it a steady emotional center. Her story lands as one of resilience and gradual self acceptance, not a neat turnaround.
