I wasn’t sure if I’d share this yet.But after looking at the numbers, the messages, and the quiet loyalty of people who kept listening even when I went silent, I realized something mattered more than fear.This episode marks the end of Season 1 of The Unedited Body. Not because it failed, but because it’s time to move forward with intention.Next week, Season Two begins with a new mission and a renewed sense of purpose.If I can ask you for one thing: choose one episode that meant something to you and share it with one person. That single act helps more than you know.Thank you for being here. I’m not walking into what’s next alone.

Unedited has become more than a podcast name for me, its a way of life. I am choosing to not allow myself to be edited anymore in how I live. There was a time though where I let others dictate my worth and decisions. Today I dive into a decision deeply regret as an intersex woman and human rights advocate.

I was able to connect with Kimberly once again this time to talk about her work as an advocate and what we need to do going forward o continue to make change.

I am back! The hiatus was needed and I explain it all in todays episode.If you haven't already, rate the show, share, and find me on socials @mrsjackieblanks

Happy Intersex Awareness Day! It's a day of visibility for intersex people around the world.

This week we continue our conversation with Kimberly about intersex diagnosis, advocacy, secrecy and more.

Todays episode is a bonus- After an argument ensued in my comments section I found myself spiraling about identity and community.
