Fueling Her: A Woman's Guide To Wellness

In today's episode, we feature attorney, activist, and author, Robyn Gigl as we dissect the intersection between race, sexuality, and civil rights within today's society. Robyn Gigl is a trans-woman who has been honored by the ACLU-NJ and the NJ Pride Network for her work on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community. Robyn has been practicing law for more than 40 years, representing clients in state and federal courts, and has been appointed by the New Jersey Supreme Court to the Court’s Committee on Diversity Inclusion and Community Engagement. She is also active in the New Jersey State Bar Association where she is a member of the Diversity Committee, the Women in the Profession Section, and a Past Chair of the Bar’s LGBT Rights Section. Robyn is a member of the Board of Directors of Garden State Equality, NJ’s largest LGBTQ+ Civil Rights Organization, and lectures frequently on diversity issues, particularly on LGBTQ+ issues in the workplace and schools. As we celebrate PRIDE throughout June and hopefully beyond, this episode reflects on many of the issues and struggles faced by the trans community. It was an absolute pleasure chatting with Robyn and be sure to look for her book BY WAY OF SORROW, (Hardcover / March 31st, 2021), Gigl’s debut legal thriller, and an #OwnVoices novel.

We hope that you will join us in a few weeks when we launch Season 3.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fuelingher/support

Often, individuals with Autism and other neurodiverse brains are misunderstood because they communicate and express themselves in unique ways. Join Dr. Chelsea and Dr. Rabun Robertson, OT for a beautiful discussion centered around improving understanding of individuals with Autism and other neurodiverse brains and debunking common ASD myths. "Occupational Therapy is about using activities that are meaningful to the individual to enhance their independence...it's an authentic approach to healing"-Dr. Rabun Robertson It was lovely learning more about Dr. Rabun's amazing nonprofit, 2ThumbsUp which connects neurotypical individuals to neurodiverse individuals through fun social activities. Having an Autism Spectrum Disorder can be incredibly isolating, and social isolation has a massive impact on mental health, so the activities help improve the mental health of all parties involved.
