You have likely landed on this page because your child or a loved one (grandchild? niece? friend?) have recently come out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or another sexual orientation or gender identity.
Don’t panic. Take a deep breath. You are in the right place.
I’ve been where you are. I’ve felt the shock, the joy, the terror, the growth, the unconditional love, the firece mama bear response. It’s A LOT! And, it’s hard to find support, guidance, resources, and education.
That’s why I’m here.
Community
Being a parent, family member, and even an ally can feel very lonely and isolating at times. Unlike social media platforms, this community is 100% safe. Show up exactly where you are on this journey. Lots of interesting topics to share in or learn from; bi-monthly office hours and a quarterly book club will begin in September 2022. This is a judgment free zone!
