Customer Reviews
Thank you.
Dr Z. You have such a beautiful way with words. Anyone who needs someone to listen to and truly feel heard/seen I believe Dr. Z is perfect for this. Much love.
Such a great resource…
Another great (free!) resource from Dr. Z for the trans community. She says it like it is, which at times can be hard to hear, but does it with so much compassion and wisdom. Dr. Z’s YouTube channel has helped me to understand myself as I realized the unexplainable feelings I had were because I am transgender, and helped me understand how to navigate the seemingly insurmountable challenges that were before me. She’s helped me find self love, self esteem and pride. Forever grateful for this prolific human being. Anyone who is gender queer, questioning their gender, or family/friends/allies to trans people has much to gain by listening to this podcast! Thanks, Dr. Z!!!
Wonderful and kind human being
