Episode Details

On this inspiring episode of Authority on Demand Podcast (formerly Authors On Mission Podcast), host Danielle Hutchinson sits down with Dr. Stephanie Hunter-Jones to explore how creativity, cosplay, and storytelling can become powerful tools for healing and self-discovery.

Blending her expertise in clinical psychology and sexology with her personal journey, Dr. Hunter-Jones shares how embracing authenticity—even the parts we often hide—can lead to profound transformation.

At the center of the conversation is her book Beyond the Costume, an interactive storybook and coloring experience that follows Mason, a character navigating identity, shame, and self-acceptance.
