More Human. More Kind. | Parenting LGBTQ Kids, Unlearning Fear, Becoming More Human
Heather Hester | Advocate for Parents of LGBTQ Teens
Weekly"Mom, I think I might be_____."
Whether that sentence ended in gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, or something they're still figuring out — you're in the right place.
Maybe you're scared. Maybe you're grieving something you can't quite name yet. Maybe you're desperate to get this right and terrified you already got it wrong. This show is for you, exactly where you are right now.
More Human. More Kind. is hosted by Heather Hester, author of Parenting with Pride and a fierce advocate for LGBTQ kids and the parents who love them. Each week Heather brings lived experience, practical guidance, and the kind of honest conversation that helps you move from fear and confusion to grounded, loving action.
Whether you're a parent in the early days of your child coming out, an ally deepening your understanding, or someone unlearning old beliefs to show up better for the people you love, this is your place.
Every episode gives you something real: tools for navigating the hard moments, having difficult conversations, guidance on loving boundaries, and the steady reminder that you don't have to figure this out alone.
New episodes every Tuesday and Friday. Start with fan-favorite Episode 3: Embrace the Messiness of Supporting Your LGBTQ Teen, an honest conversation that will help you exhale, reflect, and show up more fully for the people you love.
