Get to know Jax Anderson.

This episode features Jax Anderson, a psychotherapist with ties to the Fox Cities region. The conversation is structured around several segments, beginning with a casual chat and a dramatic personal story from the host about spinning out on a highway due to a "winter squall." Key themes explored during the interview include the frustration with the American healthcare system, especially the role of insurance companies as unnecessary middlemen, and the importance of authenticity and respect when engaging with teenagers, whom Anderson refers to as "adults in training." Anderson also shares her surprising career journey from being a correctional officer (and brief police officer) to a therapist, revealing how a moment of genuine connection with incarcerated teens motivated her professional change. The episode concludes with a segment on embracing change and Anderson's parting wisdom that the challenges of youth do not define one's future.
