How I Survived a Year Without Hormones
The Ava Davis Show – S4E04 (Recorded 25 May 2025)
In this vulnerable and deeply personal episode, Ava opens up about her fertility journey—what it meant to come off hormones for nearly a year, and the emotional, mental, and physical toll it took. From dysphoria and depression to the quiet fight to preserve hope, she walks us through the impossible decisions trans people often face in the pursuit of parenthood.
With humor, honesty, and a tiara’s worth of grace, Ava reflects on the power of HRT, the recovery process, and the return of her “superpowers”—just in time for Pride. This is more than a confessional. It’s a love letter to gender euphoria, resilience, and the community that helps us survive the darkest seasons.
