This week, we sit down with Dr. Brathwaite, a trauma specialist, certified sex therapist, and clinical director whose work spans generations, geographies, and identities. She opens up about the deep cultural stigma around therapy in Black communities, the realities of sex therapy for Black and brown clients, and the generational myths we’re all still unlearning. We get into representation, religion, pleasure, professional burnout, and why “you can have Jesus and a therapist.”

Whether you're a clinician, a client, or someone rethinking everything you learned in sex ed, this episode will stick with you.

This week, we’re joined by trans woman and advocate Courtney Gray, a competitive shooter, welder, mom, wife, and all-around badass, for a conversation that challenges assumptions and brings some much-needed nuance to the culture wars of the day.

Courtney walks us through her journey from being socialized as male to living fully and unapologetically as a woman, and how that experience shaped her approach to identity, advocacy, and self-protection. We talk about how she got into firearms (spoiler: it involves Trump), what it’s like to be a queer person in conservative spaces, and how she navigates the impossible binary of American politics with clarity and compassion.

From passing privilege to policy, social media to self-defense, this episode unpacks the power of showing up as your full self, even when it doesn’t fit the narrative.

From swamp calls and cave visits in rural Tennessee to teaching at Yale, Dr. Josh Waddell has seen some things. In this episode, we go deep on what “holistic” health actually means, how stress and diet are wreaking havoc on our bodies, and why a one-size-fits-all approach to mental health just doesn’t cut it.

We talk about why access, not effort, is the biggest barrier to wellness, how to quiet the noise of the wellness-industrial complex, and what it really means to feel well in your own body.
