While where one lives has always had an impact on how one is treated socially, today there is a disturbing and hateful trend to erase a community’s human rights in a war-like fashion.<br /><br />Understanding, education, and tolerance are needed to combat the misconstrued messaging being spewed by a minority group still trying to hold onto power. We may not solve society’s issues but it’s a discussion we need to keep shining a light on. These are our neighbors, our children, our siblings, and friends. We owe it to everyone to work towards making this world more inclusive.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Hauk’s book, Living with Crossdressing – The New Normal, is available on Amazon and other book platforms.<br /><br />CONNECT WITH SAVANNAH ONLINE<br />https://livingwithcrossdressing.com/<br />Facebook @livingwithcrossdressing<br />Facebook @savannah.hauk<br />Instagram @savannahhauk<br />https://www.amazon.com/Living-Crossdressing-Defining-New-Normal-ebook/dp/B078K3GCJL/]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2939</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>2slgbtq,2slgbtqia+,conservativepolicies,crossdressing,debbieelicksen,discrimination,dualgender,genderdiscrimination,genderdiversity,genderequality,genderidentity,genderidentityinschools,genderpolitics,genderpoliticsdebate,lockerroomforgrowth,politicaloverreach,politicalpolicies,savannahhauk,transgender,transgenderdebate</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/0eb9d446d359b7490bdc0304b0210c8b.jpg"/><itunes:season>3</itunes:season><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Conquering Childhood Demons: D’Angelo Stefani's Journey to Sobriety</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/conquering-childhood-demons-d-angelo-stefani-s-journey-to-sobriety--59253356</link><description><![CDATA[When looking at his childhood, it’s no surprise that D’Angelo Stefani’s life morphed into a statistic.

Since January 1997, he has been a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Washington’s 9th District. He received a whopping 71% of the vote when re-elected in 2022. He is also the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee.<br /><br />But Congressman Smith is more than a political figure. He has seen his fair share of pain. Three hip surgeries, a collapsed lung, a liver ailment, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression are cocktail enough for putting a strain on anyone’s mental health. But also factor in that his friend and colleague, Gabby Giffords, who he traveled to conflict zones with, survived an act of domestic terrorism when she was shot in the head at a public event in Arizona. He also learned at age 26 that he was adopted.<br /><br />In a remarkable step of courage and inspiration, Congressman Smith became an author.

Since January 1997, he has been a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Washington’s 9th District. He received a whopping 71% of the vote when re-elected in 2022. He is also the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee.<br /><br />But Congressman Smith is more than a political figure. He has seen his fair share of pain. Three hip surgeries, a collapsed lung, a liver ailment, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression are cocktail enough for putting a strain on anyone’s mental health. But also factor in that his friend and colleague, Gabby Giffords, who he traveled to conflict zones with, survived an act of domestic terrorism when she was shot in the head at a public event in Arizona. He also learned at age 26 that he was adopted.<br /><br />In a remarkable step of courage and inspiration, Congressman Smith became an author.

We all have it: fear of failure, fear of poverty, fear of speaking, fear of writing… Debilitating fear can cripple a person into depression and self-destruction.<br /><br />Oglesbee’s Maximized Mind program comes with receipts. His system has empowered people to step into their fear, find their truth, and create a better quality of life. Besides coaching, he speaks and has appeared on ABC and several media programs, magazines, and publications.<br /><br />His clients have said they are thankful beyond words, that he helped them gain clarity in every aspect of their business, helped them dramatically decrease their stress, and overcome the hurdles that were holding them back.
