In celebration of Pride Month, in recognition of the heightened risks for the transgender community, and because this is one of my favorite conversations to air on Beyond Trauma, I'm re-airing this talk with Jacoby Ballard. We discuss a wide range of topics, including:
- processing our feelings and finding our way to forgiveness
- what it means to "call in"
- the importance of self-love in social justice spaces
- yoga and Buddhist practices for dispelling anger
- parenting
- what queer folks can teach us all
- and so much more
