Anchor Your Gender in Joy - with DR Z PHD

This week's episode was a tremendous treat for me - I got to talk to Dr. Natalia Zhikhareva, or DR Z PHD!  Natalia is a clinical psychologist specializing in gender identity and author of the book “On Your Terms: Gender Transition Redefined for Adults.”  Natalia and I discussed topics as widely diverse as the origin of gender identity, the only person able to define your identity, and why we should all learn not to give a shit.REFERENCES:Dr. Natalia Zhikhareva’s website:  https://drzphd.com/Follow Dr. Z on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DRZPHDFollow Dr. Z on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/drzphd/Follow Dr. Z on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/DRZPHDpractice/Follow Dr. Z on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/drz.phd/Follow Dr. Z on Pinterest:  https://www.pinterest.com/thedrzphd/(00:00) - Opening credits (00:37) - Show opening (01:26) - Introducing Dr. Natalia Zhikhareva (03:27) - Doing what comes naturally (08:47) - Why is gender only important now?
