Therapy, diagnosis, and responsibility in modern trans healthcare.
In this chapter, Lana explores why medical transition must be treated as serious healthcare — not a social trend. Drawing from her lived experience as a medically transitioned trans woman, Canadian healthcare data, and real statistics, she discusses the importance of therapy, diagnosis, and responsible access to care. She also explains why medical transition and gender expression are not the same — and why protecting access to proper trans healthcare, especially for youth, matters.
Authenticity & Being Original explores the difference between showing up as your true self and standing out as your own unique energy. Lana dives into why not everyone will understand your growth, why some people become background characters in your story, and how being real can be both empowering and lonely. This episode breaks down the pros, the cons, and the clarity that comes from seeing through people’s fakeness and protecting your peace.

In this chapter of This Is It, I’m Just Me, Lana opens up about how style is so much more than the outfits we put on. From her girl-next-door beginnings to her hot-goth era, from funky experimentation to the confidence her chest and neck tattoo awakened, she explores how fashion grows with you — and sometimes even outgrows who you used to be. This episode dives into identity, evolution, and the power of dressing for how you feel, not what’s trending.
A chapter about expression, rebellion, softness, power, and learning that the most authentic thing you can ever wear… is yourself.
We live in a world where our homes, phones, and daily routines are quietly connected to AI. In this chapter, I explore how tools like ChatGPT, Google Home, Siri, and even Alexa (for many people) can support us in ways we might not always notice — from organizing our day and tracking reminders to helping caregivers navigate medical care and offering guidance in tough moments. I reflect on how AI can boost creativity, provide perspective, and even offer emotional support, while also reminding us of the importance of balance and boundaries. A thoughtful look at living alongside technology, staying human, and embracing the future that’s already here.

Raw, warm, funny, and honest — this is friendship, unfiltered.
In this deeply personal episode of This Is It, I’m Just Me, I share the emotional weight of my dad’s latest PET scan — news that shows his lymphoma has become active again.

In this episode, I’m sharing the shift that happened in me when I turned 46 — a quiet, powerful realignment that completely changed how I look at dating, relationships, intimacy, and the energy I allow into my life.
I talk about the standards I’ve raised, the red flags I no longer entertain, and why I’m choosing slow, intentional love over rushed chaos. I also dive into why friendship first matters to me now more than ever, and how connection feels different when it’s built on honesty, consistency, and real emotional alignment.
If you’re stepping into a new era of self-worth, clarity, and choosing peace over confusion, this chapter is going to resonate.

This chapter is about drifting away from things no longer relevant to my life and focusing on myself and my current needs. Actually doing things that are gentle for my mental health and wellbeing. Not being part of a lifestyle that doesn’t involve growth. This chapter is a short one. Please enjoy!
I’m calling this chapter Chemo Complications because that’s exactly what we’ve been facing. The treatments, the side effects, the unexpected hospital stays — it’s all taken such a toll, not just on him, but on everyone around him. I wanted to use this space to open up a bit about what’s been going on, how it’s been affecting our family, and the kind of emotional weight that comes with watching someone you love go through something so intense. It’s one thing to hear about chemo; it’s another to live through the reality of it day by day. This episode is raw and personal, but I hope it helps anyone else out there navigating something similar feel a little less alone.

This chapter marks the end of the story with Almost Lovers. He told me this week that he’s selling his house and moving seven hours away for work. That means no more visits, no more fun, and no more in-betweens. It’s bittersweet—and honestly, kind of crappy—because now I have to open myself up again and find someone new I can trust. But that’s life. We grow, we change, and with that, this chapter closes.
