Trans Healthcare in Las Vegas

Trans Healthcare in Las Vegas

Join us from Las Vegas, Nevada as we talk about trans endurance and community in the middle of what feels like a vast and endless desert. In this episode, we talk to Dr. Archie Grimley, MD, AAHIVS, a non-binary doctor who has built a practice and personal oasis in the southern tip of Nevada. In our interview, we’ll discuss medical courage and the epidemic of pre-compliance, trans broken arm syndrome, and why we should probably hold off on bickering about “he/him” lesbians until after the apocalypse. If you want to connect with Dr. Archie, you can find them on Instagram at queerdoctor_.

Trans Resilience in Utah

Join us from Salt Lake City, Utah as we talk about trans resilience in the face of almost unthinkably harsh conditions. In this episode, we talk to Kam, a non-binary parent in a split-religion household who left the Church of Later Day Saints after attempting to reconcile their lifelong faith with their newly-discovered truth. In our interview, we’ll discuss parenting while trans, transitioning with limited (or no) support from a spouse, and coming home to yourself after years of self-abandonment. We’ll also explore crying (we do, and you absolutely will too), unmasking gender and autism at the same time, and the transformative power of Depeche Mode. Content warnings for this episode: suicide attempt, self-harm, ex-LDS If you’d like to connect with Kam, you can find them on Instagram at-enby.nd.k Get full access to The PIVOT Club at www.pivot-club.com/subscribe [https://www.pivot-club.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

There's No Place Like Home

Join us from Bakersfield, CA while we talk about the idea of “home” as trans people in this supremely weird and terrifying moment. In this episode, we discuss family estrangement, why being in a perpetual state of “crisis mode” can be addicting, and what to do when your home rejects you and you have to redefine it entirely. We’ll also explore why there are so many transmascs in Humboldt, a really devastating metaphor about scuba diving, putting bows on porta potties, and taking intermediate bowling classes with Topanga from Boy Meets World. In under an hour, we’ll attempt to answer: what does home really mean when you feel like you aren’t supposed to be anywhere?

What's so magical about magic mushrooms?

Join us from a redwood forest somewhere in California as we talk about magic mushrooms. In this episode, we talk about the D.A.R.E. generation, the ins and outs of tripping, this one time where Flint was a net, and hot girls with tummy troubles. We’ll also explore neuroplasticity and psilocybin, the day we figured out the meaning of life, why Xilo is still limping two days after our last trip, and the reasons we’ll be tending to our internal fires for the rest of our lives. *The book mentioned in this episode is Be Here Now by Ram Dass *Psychedelic Coaching and Peer Support Line [https://firesideproject.org/] *MAPS Psychedelic Integration Station [https://maps.org/integration-station/] *How to Dose Magic Mushrooms [https://psychedelic.support/resources/magic-mushroom-dosing-how-to/] *Correction: Flint mentions that he took a full dose of 4mg, but he actually meant 4g Get full access to The PIVOT Club at www.pivot-club.com/subscribe [https://www.pivot-club.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

All Aboard to Co-regulation Station

Join us (again) from Ashland, Oregon as we talk about the absolutely bonkers news cycle of the last week, but mostly about co-regulation. In this episode, we talk about why traditional 9-5s can be so soul-crushing for trans and neurodivergent people, why we think our parents never taught us how to talk about money, and how to build a “regulation charcuterie.” We’ll also explore the differences between “the silent treatment” and “going nonverbal,” why you can’t just skip “the debrief,” and what to do when your partner (or anyone else) crawls back into bed at 11am with a case of the sads.
