This is a show about individual experience and personal identity.

There may be times when folks use identifying words or phrases that don't feel right to

That's part of what we're exploring here.

Please listen with an open heart, and as always, I welcome your polite, engaged feedback,

and I encourage you to continue the conversation in your life and with your community.

This week on the show, we have Shady Patowski.

This was a very interesting conversation.
