“Be with the changes, experience it.” – Kit Volcano

Today’s guests on the Art of Adventure podcast are Kit and Rosie Volcano. This is Part One of a two-part interview with the Volcanos. This episode is a bit different as we get to explore gender, personal identity, sexuality, relationships – topics which do not normally fall in the Art of Adventure, but in reality, is really still all about adventure!

Kit is a transgender man. He says that being in a body sometimes feels weird. He is now in an adventure with gender and sees where it goes. He shares that he has feminine parts that he love but leans more on the direction of being masculine. On the other hand, Rosie has not considered transitioning. She played with gender when growing up and made sure she would be as tough as any boy should be. She enjoys exploring masculine roles but also enjoy looking and presenting as a woman. As a kid, Rosie never pretended to be different and was open to express who she really was, as her family was very accepting of her.

Kit and Rosie started out as a lesbian couple, until Kit’s transition.The couple is always asked about their relationship and the transition that they have gone through. They share that they have been married for five years, and have known each other for a decade. The couple does yoga, coaching, and yoga retreats on volcanoes! They empower people to live courageously through their coaching and transformative bodywork.

In this episode, be drawn by the zest and openness of the couple. Join them in their adventure in exploring gender and sexuality. Kit and Rosie shares about the transition and says that everyone comes at it from different angles. There are always challenges and struggles and these make a person stronger and resilient. If there are no challenges, one would have no strength to become who he is today. One can’t shelter people from the world, but no matter how hard the struggle, on the other side, there is always something beautiful. As the couple emphasizes, what lies on the other side is always something better.
