In this powerful episode of "Getting Real to Heal with Dr. Grace," special guest Laura Perry Smalts shares her incredible testimony of transformation — from living as a man for nine years to finding true healing and identity in Jesus Christ.

Laura opens up about her childhood struggles, including feelings of rejection, a strained relationship with her mother, and the impact of early trauma, which led her down a path of seeking affirmation in destructive ways, including sexual sin and pornography addiction. She discusses how these experiences contributed to her belief that she was meant to be a man and the ease with which she began her transition. However, she reveals the eventual disillusionment and physical challenges that came with this lifestyle.

This conversation offers a raw and honest look at the complexities of gender identity, the spiritual battles involved, and the profound redemptive power of faith. Laura—now an author and speaker—along with her husband, founded Eden's Redemption, a ministry dedicated to teaching gender and sexuality from a biblical perspective.
