In this week’s Safe Home Podcast, Beth talks with Jude Gorini, a Brazilian who lives in Northern Italy. He identifies as gender queer, and works as an author, podcaster, intuitive coach, and creative artist. He has struggled with Bipolar, addiction, and gender identity issues and shares his life story openly in order to help others. I met Jude recently when I recorded on the podcast that he co-hosts with Leela Davis, What I Didn’t Tell My Therapist. He really resonated with our family’s story, which intersects in many ways with his own. You will love his warmth and honesty, not to mention his sexy accent.
