In this episode, I share my conversation with Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, aka, The Truthful Therapist. Pamela has become well-known in recent years for pushing back against the claims of gender ideology and so-called "gender-affirming" medicine. In her work and advocacy to protect those struggling with gender dysphoria and distress, she leans into what the scientific evidence does and does not say. Pamela has been featured in multiple documentaries on the subject and has testified both for and against many bills across the US related to gender medicine. Check out Pamela's website here [https://www.thetruthfultherapist.org/], and her new book, A Practical Response to Gender Distress: Tips and Tools for Families [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CW1KZVTJ].

In this episode, I share my conversation with a behavioural analyst who's been working with autistic patients for over a decade, Missy Morris. Missy is also the host of the podcast, Just Sayin' It, in which she shares deeply personal stories about her life, her beliefs, what she sees going on in the world that not enough people are speaking up about, using her voice to follow her divine path, and many other topics. We talk about the timeless human experience of good vs evil and how it relates to our world today, being authentic and true to yourself, using your voice, and finding your people.  Follow Missy on IG @justsayinitpod [https://www.instagram.com/justsayinitpod/] and Twitter (now "X") @justsayinitpod [https://twitter.com/JustSayinItPod]. ——————————————————————————— Let's connect!
