Concerned
I generally like what she has to say, I find it uplifting and validating. I happened to find her podcast after watching many of her videos on YouTube. I am a bit concerned with the way she just name dropped Jordan Peterson and began to address problems in the younger transgender population without any further elaboration on her reason for including them in her latest episode for New Years 2020. Peterson is a problematic figure in pop psychology and he seems to wear a cloak of authority that is unearned and often reverts back to unhealthy and disproven stereotypes and tropes that sound a lot like moralism and patriarchal notions of an ideal world. Personally I find him dangerous and repulsive. On the transgender topic she conflated the reality of transgender children with the danger of abusive parents. There is a way to approach this without questioning the validity of transgender children and the truth that regardless of any social label or condition that there will always be incredibly sick adults and state systems who will exploit and harm them. Just because she has heard of a few cases of each doesn’t mean we must suddenly see parents of transgender children who are helping them with certain age appropriate transitions as attention seeking abusers. A parent cannot just walk into a clinic demanding a transition for their child. This process involves many layers of therapy appointments, psychiatric assessments, and advice from pediatric doctors who specialize in this field. I enjoy the advice but I also hope she can stop this sort of thing. Many of us have recognized the truth in “as above, so below” in relation to our personal life and the problems affecting our world. It does suddenly seem like things are escalating and aligning along a massive narrative of narcissism writ large. I appreciate her saying so and giving examples. I just hope she doesn’t get so overwhelmed and inundated with her observations that she falls prey to the ideals of characters like Peterson who preach an excessively narrow minded approach to living in a better more “normal” world.

Listening to episode #39, and had to unsubscribe, delete, and unsubscribe on YouTube. As a polyamorous person, I face discrimination everywhere, and I certainly don’t need any of it in my podcasts. Meredith states that she believes polyamory, among other things, are “ruining” relationships....Read full review »

I’ve been listening to Meredith’s perspectives and wisdom since early 2016. She has been a major player in my recovery. I am so grateful for her gift to communicate so clearly a path (or various paths) to healing and thriving. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
