Video! Boy? Girl? Nope.
from Coffee in the Corral · host AJ
Before I dive into the controversial subject of gender and add my own delicious confusion, I must first introduce a new member of our family. She is a tiny, grey, ball of fluffiness who insisted on belonging to us. Listen today to hear the story of our sweet Valentina Ren! After a bit of animal distractions, I bring up an important issue I have been contemplating since I was a child. Am I a boy or a girl? Gender is a complex, complicated subject and I am only beginning to scratch the surface of understanding myself, but I do have a new title to call myself. Listen to this episode to hear my new name epiphany and how I am rebelling against societal constraints. Here is the book I am listening to right now and LOVING SO MUCH!! “Gender Outlaw” by Kate Bornstein As I finish up, I share my favorite podcasts and why! Here is the list of what I am listening to the most right now! "We Can Do Hard Things" - Glennon Doyle, Amanda Doyle, Abby Wambach "Unlocking Us" Brene Brown "The Mel Robbins Podcast" Mel Robbins "Good Life Project" Jonathon Fields "Sparked" Jonathon Fields "Good Inside" Dr. Becky Kennedy And last but certainly not least... I have put together a playlist of the songs that have and continue to help me in my journey of self-exploration and discovery!
