Listen Later

Dr. Alexis partners up with Natasha Colin, co-founder of Expanding Identities Development to help us chat about PRIDE!


Listen in to some Capital Pride Concert attendees and find out which performer everyone was thrilled to see. Also get access to a very special backstage 1 on 1 interview with Shea Diamond as she shares the message she wants to instill in our youth, tips for mental health professionals on how to support the trans community, & how she manages her role as an activist & performer.


Coming out (at whatever age) can be incredibly intimidating and freighting for so many people. Singer Calum Scott shares his experience with the Pride Concert crowd - an experience that inspired his song, “No Matter What.” Natasha and Dr. Alexis go into more detail about how you can support someone who opens up to you during their coming out process.
