17 May 2024 - Doing What It Takes Because You Must

In today's episode, I speak with the incredible Jasmine Vine!  If you've been living under a rock for the past decade, Jasmine is a trans empowerment specialist with training in several modalities of mental health treatment.  Jasmine and I discuss the urgency of gender transition, being able to identify with your therapist, and West Coast Privilege.
