I Love My Gay Kid: A Private Community for Parenting LGBTQ Kids — More Human. More Kind. | Parenting LGBTQ Kids, Unlearning Fear, Becoming More Human

Where do you go when you need a place to take a breath, and no one is waiting for you to tell your story?

In this Friday episode, Heather shares what she needed in the first years after Connor came out and couldn’t find: a low-stress, judgment-free place with no pressure to perform. She describes her first in-person parent meeting, the day her feelings stopped waiting, and how she built I Love My Gay Kid, a haven and a private, approved-membership community. The community level is free through December 31st.

In this episode you’ll learn how to:

Recognize that your own feelings can’t wait in line while you care for everyone else
Say the shortest true thing out loud, and come back within a day when it goes badly
Use a private community where you can read, listen, and stay silent as long as you want

This is a place to feel messy while you're figuring it out.

At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to compassion, authenticity, and transformative allyship, especially for those navigating the complexities of parenting LGBTQ kids. Through this podcast, speaking, my writing, and the spaces I create, I help people unlearn bias, embrace their full humanity, and grow their capacity for courageous connection.

For parents, allies, and those pioneering a way to lead with love and kindness, I’m here with true, messy, and heartwarming stories, real tools, and grounding support to help you move from fear to fierce, informed action.

Whether you’re listening in, working with me directly, or quietly taking it all in, I see you. And I’m so glad you’re on this journey with me.
