Dear Shenny

My sibling was born female but does not identify as male nor female. They use the they/them pronoun and identifies as non-binary. This episode is a conversation between my sibling and me, focusing on their journey in figuring out their gender identity and sexual orientation, and the internal conflicts and the challenges they've had to deal with when it relates to their gender.  

New episodes will be posted every Thursday. 

I have an inferiority complex, particularly in the work and school setting. I am always trying to prove to myself that I am worthy of my role, and that I am an equal to the students in my cohort. This episode shares the settings in which I feel less-than and leaves you with some actions that you and I can take when these feelings arise. 

This episode covers how I created $30,000 in credit card debt for myself, and the methods I used to pay down the credit card debt as well as $20,000 of student loans, in 18 months. I hope that my story will empower each of us to take control our finances.  

My childhood appeared picture perfect from the outside, but on the inside, it was messy and my mom was often absent. This episode shares with you how that was like for me, how I felt then, and also how I feel now after reflecting and practicing empathy. 

In this episode, I share with you my experience with my marriage and my divorce, the emotions that went through it, and also some things I Iearned from this chapter of my life. 

I've struggled with my body image since at least middle school. It got to an extreme when I was in high school when I developed an eating disorder. I share my story and also the coping mechanisms and ways to talk to yourself to build a positive body- and self- image for you and those around you.
