Ep 48: Why I Love Working with Parents & Young Children

"As a woman of transgender experience, being seen and sharing my story have not always been safe for me- physically or emotionally. So, I tend to hide behind teaching, organizing, and taking care of others. But not today. Today, I’d love to share my story with you in this special conversation with a fellow somatic abolitionist, Dr. Sonali Deepika, in her wonderful Burn the Box Podcast."
