Chella Man

What happens when you stop trying to fit into a box and instead choose to just be? In this special episode, Sloane sits down with Chella Man—artist, athlete, performer, and activist—for a heart-to-heart that explores the depth of identity, healing, and the human experience. Once her client and now a dear friend, Chella brings a raw and thoughtful presence to the mic, speaking candidly about gender fluidity, body image, navigating fame, and finding peace outside the spotlight. From growing up in a non-inclusive environment to becoming a trans, deaf model signed with IMG, Chella's journey is anything but ordinary—but it's the way they share it, with grounded clarity and deep self-awareness, that makes this episode unforgettable. Chella opens up about what it's really like to inhabit a body that the world both scrutinizes and misunderstands—and what it took for them to reclaim it. Chella and Sloane explore how gender and language intersect, why Chella has used she/her and he/him pronouns, and how cycling hundreds of miles has helped them reconnect with the present moment. With equal parts humor, heart, and honesty, this conversation reveals the beauty in holding multiple truths at once. "Sometimes I felt like my soul was moving too fast for my human body to keep up, and I needed to remember that I was human." — Chella Man In this episode, you will: Discover why Chella chose to step away from the spotlight and how rest became their greatest teacher Learn how gender, identity, and language are constantly evolving—and why that's a powerful thing Understand how Chella's experience as a deaf, trans model shaped their views on visibility and body image Explore how endurance cycling has transformed Chella's relationship with their body and the present moment Hear how Sloane and Chella co-created a healing space through accessibility, friendship, and shared values Tune in to hear a truly one-of-a-kind conversation that challenges assumptions, honors complexity, and reminds us all that our essence is more than labels.

Most everyone can relate to not liking some aspect of their bodies. But for many transgender people, they often experience something that is more nuanced and devastating than that: gender dysphoria. It can be hard for cisgender people to understand what gender dysphoria is like. That's why Schuyler invited someone who could speak to the topic with intelligence and sincerity: Chella Man. Chella is an artist and activist, among other things. In this discussion Chella opens up about leaning into those feelings of discomfort in his art and fashion, and tells a story about how he helped his mom better understand what it feels like to be transgender. ✶ If you have a question for Schuyler, send him a voice memo on Instagram @pinkmantaray --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/schuyler-bailar1/message
