Comedian Brandi Augustus opens up in an incredibly honest way. Sharing the circumstances of her childhood, and the abuse she both witnessed, and experienced directly. She so easily opened up about the impacts it’s had on her life, her relationships and her parenting decisions. Diving into her past relationships, she believed there was safety in a casual non committal dynamic and unpacking now, that she actually wants much more. Presenting a harder masculine energy attracted a certain availability in men, and now the work to soften that guard she has had up begins. She is also the mother to a trans child and she talks openly about how parenting challenges are different when you are facing the emotional, medical, and logistical elements that come with helping your child along the way. From the conversations she had to have with family, to her day to day work advocating for the needs of others, it’s shaped her identity in a truly unique way.

We are so grateful to have had this conversation with Brandi. Please follow and support her where you can!
