In this compelling conversation, I sit down with 21-year-old desister Simon Amaya Price, who identified as transgender from ages 14 to 17. Now serving as Outreach and Events Lead at the LGB Courage Coalition, Simon offers invaluable insights into why young people—especially those with autism—fall into gender ideology.We explore the perfect storm of factors that led to Simon's trans identification: autism, bullying, sexual assault, and false accusations in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Simon shares how his parents' firm boundaries against medicalization, combined with giving him a "long leash" to make mistakes and learn from them, ultimately helped him desist.Our discussion delves into practical strategies for parents, including the "match plus one" social skills framework, body-based distress tolerance techniques, and why allowing kids to experience natural consequences is crucial. Simon challenges the "neurodiversity affirming" approach that keeps autistic kids disabled, advocating instead for teaching real-world skills. We examine how disconnection from the body fuels gender dysphoria and why adventures, cold showers, and physical challenges can reconnect kids to reality. This episode offers hope and concrete tools for families navigating the gender crisis.Simon is a desister, writer, and speaker, fighting gender ideology with classical liberal values. At 14, he came out as transgender but desisted after 3 years. He has written for The Boston Globe, testified on bills nationwide, has spoken in communities across the country, and been featured in the Daily Mail, Boston Herald, and The Daily Signal. Simon now is the Outreach and Events Lead at the LGB Courage Coalition.Simon can be found at:X (Twitter): @SimonAmayaPriceInstagram: @SimonAmayaPriceYouTube: @SimonAmayaPriceWebsite: simonamayaprice.comBooks mentioned in this episode:The Coddling of the American Mind by Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff[00:00:00] Start & guest introduction[00:02:52] Political Violence and Role Models[00:04:00] The Coddling of American Minds[00:05:00] Finding Normal Male Peers[00:05:41] Charlie Kirk's Impact[00:07:00] Coming Out as Bisexual[00:08:00] Sexual Assault and False Accusations[00:10:09] Why Accusations Fueled Trans Identity[00:11:18] Parents Unaware of Trauma[00:12:49] How Boys Learn About Female Power[00:14:46] Rejection and False Allegations[00:16:28] Young Men's Dating Fears[00:18:00] Male Coping Strategies[00:20:37] Conservative vs Liberal Dating Success[00:21:41] Parent Coaching Advice[00:23:07] What My Parents Did Right[00:26:00] Making Mistakes Builds Character[00:27:00] Adventures and Neuroplasticity[00:28:01] Natural Consequences Build Identity[00:31:32] Learning Through Experience[00:33:30] Complaining as Communication[00:34:30] Inconvenience vs Challenge vs Trauma[00:37:00] The Long Leash Double Bind[00:39:00] Life Skills Prevent Trans Identity[00:40:26] Social Skills Algorithm[00:41:47] Match Plus One Framework[00:43:00] Life Skills Get You Out[00:44:05] Working Hard on Social Fluidity[00:45:00] Neurodiversity Affirming Care Problems[00:47:23] Therapists Who Only Validate[00:49:00] Tools for Autistic Teens[00:51:00] Frameworks for Social Understanding[00:54:00] Mental Health Energy Landscapes[00:56:00] Reflective Listening for Rumination[00:58:03] Body-Based Distress Tolerance[01:02:00] Concrete Goals in Therapy[01:04:00] Breaking Down Big Goals[01:07:00] Modeling Coping Strategies[01:09:08] Ice Cube Self-Harm Prevention[01:11:00] Embodied Experiences Matter[01:14:00] Ancient Vedic Psychology[01:16:00] Looking Inwards vs Ruminating[01:18:30] Trauma Separates Mind from Body[01:19:41] Growing Into Your Body[01:22:00] Losing Connection at Puberty[01:24:00] From Appearance to Function[01:25:17] Adult Personality Development[01:27:00] Presenting Yourself Authentically[01:28:02] Breaking Down Big Tasks[01:30:00] Health Signals and Attractiveness[01:31:00] Queer Theory vs Reality[01:33:00] Theory of Mind and Autism[01:33:39] Standpoint Epistemology Problems[01:35:45] Understanding Historical Atrocities[01:37:05] Street Conversations with Opposition[01:39:00] Charlie Kirk Abortion Discussion[01:40:30] Building Empathy Across Difference[01:41:56] Starting with Agreement[01:43:38] Closing and Contact InformationROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

Feeling like you're hustling harder than ever, yet results just aren't matching your effort? In this empowering episode, Anna Lundberg unpacks why working harder isn't the answer in today's tougher market for independent experts, solopreneurs, coaches, and consultants. Discover how to move beyond “busy work” to intentional business design - so your business works for you, not the other way around. Key takeaways: The Busy Work Trap More posts, more offers, more hustle often leads to burnout—not results. Anna explains why ceaseless activity keeps you reactive, scattered, and exhausted, rather than strategic and effective. The Time-for-Money Ceiling Trading hours for fees caps your income and makes true flexibility impossible. Anna discusses how to break free from hourly rates and build offerings that reflect value, not just time spent. Complexity Kills Clarity Adding more services or constantly reacting to every market shift creates confusion—for you and your clients. Simplicity and clear, repeatable offers are essential for expert positioning and sustainable growth. Intentional Business Design Anna outlines four elements for a more sustainable, fulfilling business: Fewer, clearer offers; value-based pricing; simple systems and processes; and seasonal, proactive planning. Practical Steps to Simplify and Scale Consider what your business could look like if you designed it on a blank sheet. Identify one offer or system you could simplify today to make everything else easier. Ready to stop spinning your wheels and build a business that actually works?

Last week I shared an episode with the wonderful Dr Monika Sharma all about cortisol.We talked about what it is, why we need it, how to regulate it and the role it plays in relation to type 1 diabetes. Within that chat we got onto the subject of a morning routine and what we can do to build healthy habits that can set us up for the day without being overstimulated and sending cortisol off the charts.I'm super thankful to Dr Monika for her expertise and knowledge, and during that conversation I briefly mentioned how I had recently started to build out a more consistent morning routine, having been a morning routine skeptic and believing it couldn't possibly help me with my type 1 diabetes.Of course it's in no way a replacement for medication, professional guidance or treatment, but I do believe that finding a version of a morning routine that works for me has been a positive addition to my life.So today I'm sharing my thoughts around a morning routine, and what I'm currently doing (and not doing) before diving into the never-ending to-dos and deadlines.This is just my personal experience and in no way intended as advice, but I hope you find it interesting! PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS MENTIONEDTim FerrissHal Elrod's The Morning MiracleDr Rangan Chatterjee on Working Hard with Grace Beverley - Why the first 5 mintues of your day are the most importantDr Jim Doty on The Mel Robbins Podcast - How to manifest anything you want and unlock the unlimited power of your mindDISCLAIMER Nothing you hear on Type 1 on 1 should be taken as medical advice. Please consult your healthcare team before making any changes to your diabetes or health management.SPONSOR MESSAGE This episode of Type 1 on 1 is sponsored by Dexcom.

Why?In this episode, Pete Gilfillan breaks down the real reasons why some franchise owners soar and others stall. It's not about having the perfect resume or business background. It's about attitude, discipline, and how you show up as an owner. If you're a corporate executive eyeing franchise ownership, these five success factors are non-negotiable.In this episode, Pete discusses:1. Work Ethic and EnergySuccess starts with you. It takes relentless effort, discipline, and energy to get a business off the ground. Pete compares it to getting a plane off the tarmac—you've got to power through the launch phase.2. Follow the SystemFranchise success is built on replication. Pete explains why the most successful owners follow the playbook, while also looking for smart ways to make the system better—not reinvent it.3. Problem Solving is the JobSetbacks are part of the journey. From staffing issues to marketing failures, Pete emphasizes that being a great franchisee means being a persistent problem-solver.4. Lead People, Don't Just Manage ThemToday's employees want purpose, not just a paycheck.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Ecclesiastes series.Chapter 10 feels like Solomon's unloading all the wisdom he forgot to mention. They're short, sharp one-liners about life, risk, relationships, and work.But even the best advice has limits. Life under the sun can still fall apart, no matter how wisely we live. That's why the real hope isn't in flawless wisdom, but in the good news that God's love meets both the wise and the fool right where we are.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 10, 2025, at 10:15am.

In this episode of Wild Things and Wild Places, Janet, Chris, and Joey from the Muley Fanatic Foundation recap their busy and impactful summer of 2025. The team took part in fawn captures in the Wyoming Range to support ongoing mule deer monitoring efforts, gathering critical data on population health. They also tackled invasive species and habitat restoration through Cheatgrass spraying near Rock Springs and Juniper removal south of town—both essential to preserving quality mule deer habitat. Additional efforts included sagebrush mowing in Kemmer, Wyoming, where the goal was to improve forage conditions by promoting the growth of new, nutritious plants. The group also previewed the upcoming Porcupine Creek project, which will reduce conifer encroachment in Aspen stands through prescribed burns. Janet shared updates on a vegetation study with the Monteith Shop, focusing on mule deer browsing habits in the Big Piney area by analyzing vegetation and fecal samples. The episode wraps up with a look ahead at future restoration work and newly allocated funding...reinforcing the Muley Fanatic Foundation's dedication to conservation and habitat health across Wyoming.

What are the numbers actually telling you, and why do they matter? In today's episode, we're talking metrics, but not the kind that leave you overwhelmed or make your eyes glaze over.

Today's episode is a bit of a different one. I asked what episodes you'd like me to touch on, and I got so many requests to do one on tips for early-stage business owners. It's been on my ‘episodes to record' list for months now, and today, we're finally sitting down and doing it.I think if we truly exhausted the list of mistakes I've made and what I've learnt from we would actually be here for days, maybe we'd break the record for the longest podcast of all time (and beat Joe Rogan), but that wouldn't be enjoyable for anyone, so i've picked my 4 most important lessons to go through in this episode, and if you find it useful, we can definitely do more of these type of solo eps! +PITCH DECK TEMPLATEThis audio episode is not sponsored by Adobe but I am working in partnership with them at the moment, and as part of that partnership, we've worked together on a pitch deck template which you can find here: https://adobe.chrd.ly/GraceBeverleyxAdobeExpressYTI know pitch deck best practice is individual to every industry, but I really hope this will help if you're considering investment for your business!

The "Digging Deeper" series is category of episodes where CC Broadcast Radio Preacher, Tim Boettger, further discusses topics and ideas raised during his radio sermons, but in a conversational interview format.

In today's episode, we're digging into a topic that impacts millions of women, but still isn't widely understood: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS. It's a personal one for me, as I've had PCOS for over a decade now, and whenever I search for information about the condition, I'm faced with reddit threads rather than professional advice, because so little research is done into PCOS and conditions like it. So, I wanted to create a resource for people like me, who are struggling to understand what they're going through and desperate for information. So today we're talking symptoms, diagnosis, lifestyle changes that actually help, and how to advocate for yourself when you're not being heard.

For most of my life, I believed that money came from hard work—hustling, grinding, proving my worth. But deep down, that belief was rooted in fear and lack. In this episode, I'm sharing the truth that changed everything for me: you don't attract money by doing more—you attract it by shifting who you are on the inside. We'll explore how your Inner Critic has shaped your money story, how to unhook from deeply ingrained scarcity patterns, and how to align with the version of you who already feels worthy, abundant, and free. If you've been chasing success and still feeling like it's never enough—this is your wake-up call to stop striving and start receiving. Listen now and begin creating wealth from within.   Your weekly reflection questions: What do I believe about money—and where did that belief come from? How would I think, feel, and act if I already trusted that abundance is who I am? In what ways is my Inner Critic still convincing me that I have to earn my worth?
