Authentically Us

Initially, I was not going to upload this episode. I don't quite look my best here. The sun was in my eyes, I was hot after being outside for a while, and my bad hair day. But after rewatching it ten days later, I decided to share it anyway. I think that I made some good points in the video that could be beneficial to someone. Thank you for watching.

I was recently let go from my job, and thought that it would be cathartic to share my experience with the world on the podcast. Thank you for watching.

All of us who grew up during the 90s remember the OJ Simpson case, and the impact that it had on the world. In spite of his legal troubles, OJ Simpson lived an accomplished life. To this day I do not think that he committed murder. And if you think that he did, please explain why? Based on the evidence and his alibi he could have been involved, but was never proven guilty. But I know that some people feel differently. Please like and comment. Thank you.

Recently, at a Planet Fitness location in Fairbanks, Alaska, someone who identifies as a trans woman was confronted by a biological woman in the woman's locker room while shaving their facial hair. In this video I give you my perspective as a trans woman who frequented Planet Fitness not too long ago. Please pardon the technical difficulties. Please remember to leave a "Like" and or a "Comment." Thank you for watching.

This episode addresses the controversy surrounding Pride and LGBTQ+ lifestyles being marketing to children in the form of indoctrination, grooming, and gender affirming care.

Hello Everyone,

"Authentically Us" is back!! Recently there was an incident at the 2023 White House Pride Celebration involving Rose Montoya (a former guest), and two trans men. Even though all three of them are equally wrong, Rose is bearing the brunt of the criticism. This ultimately resulted in the three of them being banned from the White House. No arrest were made. Since the recording of this episode, Rose has blocked me on Tik Tok. It's unfortunate because I was never mean spirited toward her. I only wanted to help her be a better representative, and take accountability for her actions. Only because I cared enough. Happy Pride Month 2023!!

     The topic of "The American Dream" has been on my mind for the last few years.  Like a lot of people my age and younger, I have decided to opt out of "The American Dream."  This does not mean that we have given up on working towards ours goals.  Instead, we would rather spend our time working toward creating a life that is better suited for us and more in tune with what we desire.

     My sincerest apologies for not releasing episodes in quite a while.  My heart is still very much in doing Authentically Us.  I have been preoccupied with launching my life coaching business with the same name during these last three months.  This is part two of the episode that I did with Tracie Bailey earlier this year.  We had such a wonderful time reminiscing on 90s music, movies, TV, and pop culture.  I hope all of you will enjoy it as much as we did.  Thank you for listening.  Please help us grow by sharing. 

Lanae has Victoria Perera on the show as a guest.  She was kind enough to share her story with all of us.  We had a great conversation that evening.  I hope that all of you will enjoy it just as much as we did.

     I recently had Covid-19.  I thought it would be interested to share my experience with all of you.    My goal is to offer my unbiased opinion.  Because someone else's experience may or may not differ from mine.   You can reach out to me if you have any questions.

     In this episode we discuss Imposter Syndrome and Gender Dysphoria.  Those are us who identify as transgender experience them more than the average person.  Please help us grow and improve by sharing and reaching out to us with your comments and suggestions for the show.  Thank you for listening.

Hello Everyone,

Happy 2022!  2021 has been a challenging year for a lot of us.  I recently lost my Aunt Clara Bell Moore, and I would like to dedicate this episode of "Authentically Us" to her.

  My apologies for being absent from the show.  I started recording this episode in late August of 2021.  I had recently celebrated a milestone birthday, and I thought it would be fun to look back over my life.  I will be sharing with you what life was like for me during the 1980s. There will be future episodes covering the 90s, 2000s, and the 2010s.  Most likely they will the be released consecutively.   Enjoy!

Thank you,

Lanae

I would greatly appreciate it if you would help us grow the podcast by sharing it. Thank you for listening.
