What is Simply Beyond?

A Simply Good Form podcast exploring transgender inclusion, gender diversity, and inclusive leadership — one bold conversation at a time.

Hosted by award-winning advocate and proud mama bear Cyndi Sweeney (she/her), Simply Beyond amplifies the lived experiences of trans, non-binary, and 2SLGBTQIA+ voices across Canada and beyond.

Through real stories, candid conversations, and practical insights, we go beyond the binary to build connection, foster belonging, and inspire allyship at home, at work, and in our communities.

Whether you're a curious ally, a parent of a trans kid, or a leader working to create safer, more inclusive spaces — you're in the right place.

Because every voice matters. And every story counts.
