Hello and welcome to Let's Talk About It.

This is your host Taylor and I hope that you are taking care of yourselves.

I hope you are feeling excited coming into today's episode because I'm very excited about

my guest and before we get into step today I am currently recording this introduction

on Indigenous People's Day.

I do want to take a few minutes to process through some of my own thoughts around this

and have a little solo conversation by myself that hopefully you benefit from.

Got a love podcasting.

Before we start talking about I'm going to have Dr. Ricky Siegel on the podcast in this

episode who is co-founder and co-director of Modern Sex Therapy Institutes where I'm

getting my PhD in clinical sexology from but today as I'm recording this it's Indigenous

People's Day.

Originally was a national holiday for Columbus Day and I don't I can't tell if it's just

that I'm burnt out, that I'm jaded but I'm just feeling like very pessimistic about

celebrating and I know in a lot of ways it maybe isn't necessarily my day to celebrate.

I'm not sure that it's a day.

I think the purpose right is like to remember is at least what I hear from white people

is what I hear from politicians and I do think obviously in any of these conversations

we need to center we need to listen to Indigenous People and actually do the things that they're

saying.

And I know that there was some push for Indigenous People's Day to be a holiday which it's

been and that's great and I also know that that's not it.
