In this heartfelt episode of the My Girl Life podcast, host and crossdresser Maddie Taylor welcomes Dr. Dumayi Gutierrez, a licensed marriage and family therapist, for a deeply personal and insightful conversation on mental health, gender identity, and the LGBTQ+ experience for crossdressers and trans women and all LGBTQ people. They explore how to find affirming therapy, the emotional effects of living dual identities, the concept of minority stress, and the challenges of coming out—especially within cultural and family contexts. Dumayi shares her personal story as a queer Dominican woman, the emotional toll of rejection and resilience, and the power of authentic self-expression. Together, they discuss how vulnerability fosters connection, how relationships evolve through identity journeys, and how empathy—even in small gestures—can have a profound impact. Uplifting and intimate, the episode is a reminder to be bold, be kind, and be yourself.
Be Bold. Be Kind. Be You.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
