The Complicated by Choices Podcast

Seeking to understand humanity better through the choices we make.

This week I was lucky enough to speak to Amethysta Herrick, from Colorado.

After establishing a successful career in science and tech, serving as a chemist, professor, software engineer, and manager, Amethysta made a transformative shift.

She embraced her passion for writing full-time, centering her narratives around her transgender experience and delving into the profound exploration of origin and identity.

Over the past few years, Amethysta has navigated significant changes and made life-altering decisions. Her journey of self-discovery promises to be a compelling story.

In an endeavor to introduce a narrative element to my podcast, I asked Amethysta to be my test subject this week, inviting her to be a character in a unique storytelling experiment. I led her through a hypothetical, life-altering scenario, punctuated by a series of critical decisions she had to make.

This proved not only fun but profoundly revealing. By the end, Amethysta and I concurred that a society's success is intimately tied to its willingness to embrace change.
