The Ava Davis Show

How I Survived a Year Without HormonesThe 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.📝 Read more on Substack: https://substack.com/@theavadavis🎥 Watch episodes: https://www.theavadavis.com

S3 Ep 3 - 23 March 2023 "Part 2: Ignorantia Juris Non Excusat Concludes" Dear Prismatic Queerdom, Alright, y’all. It’s been a while since I came to you all. And I thought I was going to be coming to you all monthly, but February had such huge curve balls thrown at me I had to reassess EV.ER.Y.THING! So I go into progress on The Waltz, and more specifically a grant we were up for but all of the business things they don’t teach us creatives about business (no one taught us because we’re all winging it). And it was emotional. I had a full on “I can’t stop crying” episode at City Hall when confronted with some fees. But I go into that. And … March 29th, Nicole from Critical Crop Top and I host another screening of From Atlanta, With Love, a night celebrating Atlanta women and LGBTQ filmmakers! Advance tickets are $10, $15 at the door. Doors open at 7:45 PM, screening starts at 8PM Hope to see you there! Also, shout out to my viewers from Down Under (The Aussies!) I see y’all watching! Next episode, lemme know what I should mention!  Signed, - AD  —------------------------- For more information, visit our website at www.theavadavisshow.com  You can listen to the podcast version of this on Spotify and Apple, under “The Ava Davis Show.” And, follow us on all the socials as well!  Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/theavadavisshow/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheAvaDavisShow TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theavadavis YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5Ki_F_dOD3n1D1-74W98og You42 : https://www.you42.com/channel/674 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/79m73k9WEgtmlcLjjMg2vE Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-ava-davis-show/id1539318963 #avadavis #duchessofgrantpark #prismaticqueerdom #studiovosges #actorslife #talkshow #lgbtq #trans #transgender #transvisibility #transjoy #transgender #trans #lgbt #lgbtq #gay #lesbian #pride #queer #bisexual #nonbinary #transisbeautiful #mtf #transwoman #genderfluid #pansexual #love #gaypride #transexual #transpride #asexual #transman #bi #girlslikeus #lgbtpride #diversity  #transrepresentation

Alright, y'all. Back with truly the 1st episode for the 3rd season - season 2 was really a wash. And I announce the amazing news as the latest board member for Out on Film, and how our missions align with my role as the Duchess of Grant Park, and helping queer filmmakers. And then, I get into a trans issue. A transition related issue, of visting friends from the past, and how becoming one’s authentic self brings along the grief that one must deal with for the past and how perhaps relationships could have been different had one been authentic. That’s a sentence if I’ve ever seen one. So, to sum things up - Out on Film (support, outonfilm.org), new anchor for This Way Out, a queer focused weekly news thingie (thiswayout.org, follow on your favorite podcast purveyor), and … yeah. #avadavis #duchessofgrantpark #prismaticqueerdom #studiovosges #actorslife #talkshow #lgbtq #trans #transgender #transvisibility #transjoy #transgender #trans #lgbt #lgbtq #gay #lesbian #pride #queer #bisexual #nonbinary #transisbeautiful #mtf #transwoman #genderfluid #pansexual #love #gaypride #transexual #transpride #asexual #transman #bi #girlslikeus #lgbtpride #diversity  #transrepresentation

Part two of our interview with Alisa Chambers, director of operations for the Grant Park Conservancy, and also a Grant Park enthusiast. . .  She tells us about what Grant Park Conservancy does for the park (hint - it's a non-profit, not a government agency so they're entirely on their own funding wise!) .

Alright, y'all. Today is the last day before I go on hiatus. And, if you're not following along on Facebook, then you missed how this episode was recorded live! Yep, you read that correctly. There were some technical issues ( in the live broadcast, for instance, I had two mics accidentally running, and there was a horrible echo!). All the more reason to tune in when we come back from Winter hiatus on January 11th! But this episode is a year in review and looking forward to what I hope next year brings! Happy holidays, and happy new years!

Alright, y'all. Today is more of a dear diary type day, seeing as how it feels like I've got a low-grade depression or something. So, I talk about the lows of indie filmmaking, while also trying to somehow family plan and plan for gender confirmation surgery. It's a lot.

Alright, y'all. Happy Monday. I recap the weekend, including the private screening for the Duchess of Grant Park (www.duchessofgrantpark.com) which went swimmingly! And then I talk about how resistant I am to change (but after this upload I may be sold on At&T Fibre!). And finally, a convo I had with my account manager about being black in America.

Alright, y'all. Today is a bit of a therapy day for me. And, don't worry, I'll be fine. Today is about acknowledging and sitting with uncomfortable emotions. And why Disney's Inside Out is incredibly helpful for kids of all ages, from 2 to 92, though apparently that's been said many times, many ways. So, yeah. Heard back from @sundance.

For more information, please visit their website and read their read report at https://link.theavadavisshow.com/2gp . .

Alright y’all. Since the day is almost over, by all means, and measures, I can announce that today was my #birthday. And I’m feeling guilty because I rearranged a lot of things to tape this #interview yesterday, but the opportunity presented itself. So, this is my interview with @chasethewolfe; we worked together on @proudmarytheatre ’s The Laramie Project, and he is an oh so talented actor and singer and professional mover! So, this is the first part of our convo, and also we’re treated to him playing@official_blackstreet #NoDiggity on the guitar! Can you say #crush.

Alright, y'all. Today is Veteran's Day. I hope you've acknowledged them, at the very least. The scars of service can still linger on. In addition, I hope you're keeping abreast of the politcal climate in Washington! And, finally, let's talk about acting for a minute. Specifically, acting with Shakespeare.

Alright, y'all. We still need to wrap up the interviews with Ngozi; and I think I'll upload those to the website soon so you can listen to them in full. But today, let's talk about this weekend. 3 stories the AP News (Pfizer Corona Virus vaccine, HIV 2 month shot, and President-Elect Biden), along with a #soapbox moment as I now go into #hangover mode. Some of us can breathe. We've been in survival mode for four years, and with that breath come a lot of emotions we may have been holding back. I know I have. And now is the time to process those emotions.  Also, in case you haven't heard, we've got these episodes in #podcast form!

"Dear White America" by @speakoutwithtimwise (gonna add that to my reading list). We recorded this the night of #halloween, so Eddie decided to startle us at some point.

Alright, y'all! Today's show is brought to you by good mental health habits.  For me, that was taking a break last week to regroup, and giving myself permission to do nothing on my off days.  And, it also meant the announcement of a new project I'm more than excited to be a part of, Proud Mary Theatre (www.proudmarytheatre.com) presenting The Laramie Project coming in October!  But in the meantime they're also presenting a show of Del Shore's Sordid Lives, Aug. 14th-16th, and also have a couple other shows worth checking out!  All that and more on #memedaymonday !  . ----------------------- Watch the latest episodes at  www.theavadavishow.com and sign up for our newsletter!

Today is letting go of (most of my) perfectionism. So, today was recorded on my phone at the shop. And, also, tonight at 8PM I hope you tune in as @ProudMaryTheatre, SC's first and only LGBTQ Theater company, presents Robert Fusons' Millenial Approached/It's A Generational Thing! Check out Proud Mary's bio for more info on how to join, and let me know what you think! I'm really excited and proud of the work everyone put into this, and I'm also proud of perhaps spending this week letting go of a bit of perfectionism.  ----------------------- Visit www.theavadavishow.com and sign up for our newsletter!
