Episode #156 - Unlearning & Becoming Tolerable, Curious Individuals: An Interview With Dr. Lulu

Throughout time, it has been stereotyped that anyone that has a differing thought about a person, concept, theory, or even the world, was ridiculed and thought of as a "radical thinker." Even inventors, philosophers, and other composers have been heavily criticized for their level of forethought and ability to think of ideas that challenge what the traditional, "conservative" thoughts are that society (or culture) have. However, are they really "radical thinkers?" Have we lost our touch, or ability to rationalize in a way that creates curiosity? Today's impactful, eye-opening episode with the Owner of Dr. Lulu's Coaching & Consulting Lounge, Dr. Lulu, who has been featured on notable programs such as Oprah Daily, CBS This Morning, NBC, and other networks, describes what it means to have challenging thoughts and still be accepted by those around us. If we are willing to challenge the status quo, and be willing to have open conversations that shift perspectives, it can challenge many of the debates that we are having today about society, ourselves, and even the world for that matter.*PLEASE NOTE: Speaking From The Heart, from the very beginning, is accepting of all backgrounds, viewpoints, and perspectives. This episode features discussions of transgender, LGBTQ+ rights, and other related conversations that are openly accepting, and does not discriminate or tolerate hate. We are appreciative of the viewpoints that are always covered on our show, and encourage you to seek out ways in which you can learn from today's episode how to have conversations about these types of subjects with your loved ones.Guest BioDr. Lulu is a multiple award-winning Queer, Nigerian-born pediatrician, LGBTQ+ educator, corporate consultant, CEO of Dr. Lulu’s Coaching & Consulting Lounge and chief host of Moms 4 Trans Kids Podcast. She is a mother of 3, one of whom is a transgender young adult woman.
