Welcome to “Troubles & Transitions,” the podcast where we dive deep into the untold stories of our Queers community’s journey through the healthcare system. I’m Wendy Wink and I’ll be your guide as we unravel the complexities, celebrate the victories, and shed light on the ongoing challenges facing LGBTQIA+ individuals in accessing compassionate and comprehensive care. Each episode, we’ll hear from voices that inspire change, from brave individuals sharing their personal experiences to experts advocating for a more inclusive healthcare landscape.

5 MAY 2024 · Join me in a chat with Justin, a young gay man, in his 20s. Justin highlights some problematic areas in our healthcare system here, in Hawai’i, as he tells stories of his first encounters in the medical world upon moving to O'ahu. I have done my best to omit any identifying factors of where these experiences took place, but they will be brought to the attention of leadership, so we can continue to provide better care for our community. We may touch on sensitive subject matter, as well as some triggering topics. Discretion is advised. If you’re struggling with your mental health, please call 1-877-565-8860 or visit. http://988lifeline.org/ for more resources. As always, nothing said here is medical advice, but lived experience by individuals within a community. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/transhealth/message

22 APR 2024 · Join me as I speak with a new friend, Jazmyn, from Season 14 of The Blox. This was the hardest episode to edit, as we consistently found ourselves off-topic and yelling about irrelevant topics. I hope you enjoy anyway!

14 APR 2024 · Join me as we take a dive into straight FACTS, with Dr Sorrentino. She is the cake to my frosting of humor and wild antics; my soul sister. I’ve never had a conversation with someone on the exact same page as I. I have so much left out audio, there’s a second episode for a rainy day! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/transhealth/message
