Rodgers says she is in the camp who will NOT 'affirm' everything and she still believes in a holistic approach in addressing mind, body, and spirit. Rodgers says she is in the business of helping clients through challenging beliefs and choices rather than succumbing to the indoctrination of gender ideology, big pharma, insurance companies, and the medical community --- follow the incestuous relationship tied to money.

Licensed Professional Counselor and Sports Psychology Professional, Kip Rodgers, joins Bernadette to discuss why it’s important to show emotions and how outside factors such as antidepressants can hinder us from expressing our true feelings.
