New, Foundational, Scientific Discoveries
03/28/2026

In this video, I share new foundational scientific discoveries borne from lived experience with schizophrenia as a trans mother. I demonstrate how structured video journaling serves as a powerful, practical tool to build metacognition and self-awareness — helping reduce symptoms, ease negative symptoms and anxiety, strengthen insight, and improve treatment adherence. I also present a compassionate, brain-based neurodevelopmental explanation of gender incongruence that affirms trans validity as a natural variation. These insights support holistic, peer-led recovery models like Hometree. Open invitation to scientists, artists, and open minds: take these ideas and run with them. Hope and real tools are possible.

This neglect, followed by legal action (a restraining order), has dramatically worsened her executive dysfunction. The result has been catastrophic: loss of a stable $95,000-per-year job, inability to maintain housing, the beginning of detransitioning under...
