In this episode of TwoX Labs, Dr. Erika Miley sits down with Dr. Stephen Hinshaw and Dr. Ashley Halkett to dive into the groundbreaking Berkeley Girls Study—one of the most comprehensive longitudinal studies on ADHD in girls. We explore what this research has uncovered about how ADHD shows up differently in girls and women, why so many are overlooked or misdiagnosed, and what providers can take into the therapy room right now.

Whether you’re a therapist, healthcare provider, or someone navigating ADHD yourself, this conversation offers powerful insights and practical tools for understanding and supporting women and girls with ADHD.

Nobody teaches you how to run a therapy practice when a hurricane destroys your community.

This week on TwoX Labs, Allison Puryear (Abundance Party founder) and I get brutally honest about what it's really like to keep your practice running when natural disaster hits. Not the sanitized 'resilience' content you see everywhere - the actual messy reality.

We've both been there: I survived Hurricane Ian, Allison dealt with Helene and the flooding aftermath. We're sharing the stuff no practice management course covers:

This isn't about 'bouncing back' - it's about surviving and figuring out how to actually help people when you're also drowning.

Because apparently we need to learn disaster management the hard way.

00:00 Introduction to Power Dynamics in Sexual Assault

In this episode of TwoX Labs, Dr. Erika Miley sits down with Julia Postema and Jeremiah Gibson, AASECT Certified Sex Therapists and co-hosts of the podcast Sexvangelicals: The Sex Education the Church Didn’t Want You to Have. Together, they unpack purity culture’s “Seven Sexual Sins” — from “don’t have sex before marriage” to “don’t have desires at all” — and explore how these harmful messages shape sex, gender roles, and power dynamics inside couples’ therapy rooms.

They talk about what happens when one partner starts to deconstruct purity culture and the other doesn’t, the grief and rage that can bubble up, and how therapists and couples can navigate these conflicts without slipping back into moralism. Julia and Jeremiah share practical insights for working with shame, porn, gender roles, and the tricky mess of rebuilding intimacy when old purity scripts still haunt modern relationships.
