One of my favorite writing styles is Memoir Fragments, which I've included in this episode. As the Thanksgiving holiday is approaching, I'm reminded of the story I tell first, fond memories from almost a decade ago, gathered around the Thanksgiving table for prayer. I hope you enjoy this sample of my writing from years ago.

Note: This is not classified as a Christian podcast, even though we will occasionally discuss topics of faith in addition to non-religious topics. The faith tradition of my youth was Christian, and I'll be referring to it on a regular basis. If you do not identify as Christian, there is room for you here! I hope you'll still get something out of this episode, and others in which we examine areas of faith and spirituality.

In addition: Coarse language may be used on occasion by me or my guests when talking about the reality of daily life. Consider this a risk when listening.

Who gets to talk to you while you're in the shower? I'd say, only the most intimate companions get that opportunity. In this episode, we look at that prime real estate in your mind and consider whether it's a better place for some people to spend time with God than sitting in a chair with their Bible open. How and where do YOU pray?

My name is Brent Walsh, and when I was thirty-two, I transitioned from female to male, a decision I had pondered for years. It was finally time for me to prioritize my own authenticity and thereby solidify the respect I had for myself as a person of value and integrity. I thought I would never make another decision that would be as life-altering as that one. But as time went on, I realized that every transition I experience is life-altering in some way and crucial to my next phase of life. Transitions come in many shapes and sizes: friendships, marriage, divorce, have kids or send them off to college, move to a new home, a promotion, loss of a job, loss of your independence, retirement... My gender transition is only one in a series of things that have charted the course of my life and made me who I am today.

Join me in conversation as we navigate life's transitions together. I'll share stories of my life, complete with lessons I learned along the way. And no conversation with me would be complete unless I bring up the Enneagram at least once. 

So buckle up, friends. Let's go on this ride together!
