Gender Identity Weekly

In this episode, I speak with Andrea Leigh about saying "yes" to experiences.  Andrea is a high-impact coach, fashionista, and Co-Host on Thriving Women Network TV.  Topics include finding comfort in discomfort, living life to the fullest, and parents who accept gender transition as long as football isn't impacted.
