Bio
Edie is my real name but Wyatt is a maternal family name. I like to write about politics, God, culture and stuff. My specific interest is in the way governments are removing the rights of women by using gender identity ideology to redefine the legal vessel that holds all the rights of women, sex. I am also interested in talking about the life of women in the different stages, as well as grief and loss that has been a constant part of my life. I will share recipes as well as stories. That's it.

Episode 2: Exploring Social Impact Bonds, Managed Retreat, and the Commodification of Nature with Kate Mason
In this episode of the Veritas Podcast, host Dr. Petra Bueskens welcomes Kate Mason to explore intricate topics like social impact bonds, managed retreat policies, and the commodification of nature and privacy. The conversation delves into the philosophy and repercussions of current political and cultural shifts, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Kate Mason, with a background in social ecology and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, highlights the transformation of the welfare industry and the rise of philanthropic capitalism.
