In this week’s episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor hands the mic to legendary rock frontman Keith Caputo (formerly Mina Caputo), who delivers an unfiltered, soul-baring monologue about his de-transitioning journey, gender dysphoria, and reclaiming masculine identity.

After nearly 20 years of living as a trans woman, Keith shares why he walked away from hormone therapy, breast implants, and the illusion that transitioning would heal his deep-rooted trauma. He dives into the psychological, spiritual, and physical costs of medical transition, exposing what the mainstream won’t say about gender ideology, identity confusion, and pharmaceutical agendas.

Best known as the iconic voice of Life of Agony, Keith holds nothing back as he speaks candidly for most of the episode, dropping truth bombs on trauma, gender politics, the music industry, cancel culture, and why real healing starts from within. This episode is raw, controversial, and requires listening for anyone questioning the dominant narrative around gender identity.

Episode Highlights: de-transitioning, gender ideology, trauma healing, magic mushrooms, radical authenticity, music industry truth, cancel culture, spiritual awakening, hormonal side effects, cultural programming, psychedelic therapy, reactive attachment disorder

Takeaways:

• Fearlessness and authenticity attract true collaborators
• The music industry rewards conformity, not raw talent
• Trauma often underlies gender dysphoria and identity shifts
• Psychedelics can help heal deep-rooted emotional wounds
• The medical system is creating lifelong patients, not healing
• Cultural trends are driven by profit, not truth
• True empowerment comes from within, not external surgery
