The Purple Pawedcast

This week's episode features Bobbi Barrington's ability to reframe the stories she told herself all her life.  Bobbi is a keynote speaker, coach, and transgender woman who helps others reveal their own stories and how they can change them for a better life.  Bobbi and I discuss topics as far afield as the power each of us has to tell our own story, how authenticity unlocks deep emotional regulation, and the beauty of getting chatted up in a bar.

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.
