The second part of our episode with Nicole Vachal, a powerhouse in life and founder of Canadian Women of the Outdoors. We discuss the complexities surrounding the LGBT community, particularly focusing on the politicization of sexuality and gender identity. Nicole shares her personal experiences and thoughts on the current state of LGBT discussions, emphasizing the importance of education over imposition. 

We explore the challenges faced by individuals navigating their identities in a rapidly changing societal landscape, and the impact of media and politics on these discussions, complexities of gender identity, mental health, and societal norms. They discuss the importance of therapy in understanding one's gender identity, the implications of early transitioning, and the intersection of political beliefs with LGBT identity.  

Oh, and we also talk all about Cancast! To Kyle and his team, great work putting on that phenomenal event.“I interview people with "misunderstood" lifestyles so we can educate people on the truth.”
