It took almost four decades, but Cohasset resident Michelle Figueiredo is finally comfortable in her own skin and ready to start a new life.

Figueiredo, 38, said she wasn't at peace with herself until about five years ago. But her story is much deeper than that. It's about a woman who was struggling with self-image.

Born Michael Figueiredo, she spent more than three decades as a male trying to live up to other people's expectations.

That was before Michael became Michelle.
