Join us for a great conversation on Just the Tip, where Missy and Vickie talk about Juneteenth.  They discuss what it means to each of them, how they've come to learn about it, and the current happenings surrounding it as a federal holiday.  This was an educational discussion for both of them and lends itself to sharing different perspectives and broadening our worlds just a little more.

In support of Pride month, our Difficult Discussion this week is about Transgenderism.  The subject of transgenderism has many different facets.  We discuss our experiences with transgenders and the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as our perspectives on transgenders in sports.  We also talk through the subject from a parenting perspective.  This was an exciting topic to discuss and we hope listening will provoke our listeners to learn more and talk more.  Visit our website and tell us how this discussion had you digesting and investing!

In Difficult Discussions this week, we talk about pedophilia as a sexuality.  We dive into what a pedophile is and ask the question if there is a difference between being a pedophile and child molester.  We also talk about what we've found in our research related to pedophilia being a psychiatric disorder mostly brought about by one's own childhood trauma.  There are also arguments that one doesn't have a choice in being attracted to a child, as much as they have a choice in being attracted to an adult, or someone of the same/opposite sex.  Strap in ladies and gents!  It's time to digest and invest!
