The Purple Pawedcast

In today's episode, I have a fun discussion about a serious topic with Brittany Sandoval.  As a registered nurse and foster parent, Brittany had to process her childhood trauma to help her children become better people.  Brittany and I talk about the meaning of anger, how generational trauma can be healed, and Lesbian TikTok. 

P.S.  No cats were harmed in the making of this podcast.

What is The Purple Pawedcast?

Welcome to The Purple Pawedcast, where we unpack the complexities of gender, identity, and what it truly means to be human—without the academic jargon (okay, maybe just a little, but only the fun kind).

Curated by Amethysta Herrick. Ph.D., this pod is where science, philosophy, and lived experience collide to challenge assumptions and spark new perspectives. Whether you’re here to explore your own identity, stay informed on the latest research, or just enjoy a deep dive into the human experience, we deliver thoughtful, engaging, and refreshingly honest discussions. No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just real conversations about who we are and how we navigate the world. Dive in, stay curious, and let’s rethink identity together.
