Sophie Edwards is a returning guest to The Broken Brain. She is an author, vocal coach, and the creator of "We Have Always Existed," a YouTube series focused on historical accounts of Gender-Fluid and Transgender individuals throughout history.  Sophie joins me today to share stories from her research Transgendered people through history. Although open dialogue about Gender may feel new for many people, Gender Identity issues have been around since there has been human culture. Important Spoiler Alert: something being new to one does not make it new for all.  Today's episode is all about the understanding that people are people, no matter where or when they are.  Follow Sophie's work and learn more about vocal coaching for Trans Women at: sbedwards.gay, and follow her on IG @queer.trans.writer.sophie

"Play Date" is an independent short film currently traveling through the Film Festival circuit, Debuting at the Dallas Film Festival next week. I was able to interview Amberlee Colson & Laura Campbell, The Directors and Stars of this project. The film is an amazing look into the trauma and coping of 2 women a year after their daughters experienced a school shooting. One of the children survived, the other did not. The portrayal of 10 minutes spent between these two shows a great understanding of trauma, PTSD, and realistic ways we cope with traumatic loss.
