Get over the hump every Wednesday with a new "Heartbeat in Relationship Conversation" episode. Join the Diversity Duo for all the feels and then ask yourself, “Do I judge a book by its cover...?”  This Community Neighbor (non-U.S. Veteran) has had over a million ears listen to her podcast, All Things Therapy. She is highly educated and an insightful author but like in all things there must be a beginning, a manifestation. For the heart of our guest, a peculiar combination of ingredients contributed to a life moment few have the liberty to touch. Find out how an encounter with a telemarketer, not being ready yet, and an unapologetic truth to oneself, led to the fulfillment of her goal.  Ever heard of the Kinsey Scale?
