From the publisher

Have you recently been told, "Mom, I think I might be_____."? Whether that sentence ended in gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, or any other identity or orientation, you're in the right place. This podcast is for parents who wish to support and understand their child who has just come out; to be an ally who shows up with courage, clarity, and compassion in your family, workplace, and community. More Human. More Kind. is a twice-weekly podcast supporting concerned parents and allies of LGBTQ kids who are ready to move from fear, grief, and confusion to healing, resilience, and empowered advocacy. Hosted by Heather Hester, author of Parenting with Pride and a fierce advocate for human rights and social justice, each episode blends grounded insights, personal stories, and practical guidance to help you protect what matters, raise brave kids, and spark collective change. * You'll learn to navigate mental health challenges, set loving boundaries, and find hope and support through the messiness of parenting, allyship, and becoming. * Whether you're wrestling with bigotry, searching for connection and community, or ready to shift your mindset toward kindness and open-minded action, this show offers the education and encouragement you need. New episodes drop every Tuesday and Friday, featuring expert interviews, your Butterfly Effect action, and timely solo episodes that encourage growth, empathy, and activism. Start with fan-favorite Episode 3: Embrace the Messiness of Supporting Your LGBTQ Teen (With Resilience & Hope), an honest conversation that will help you exhale, reflect, and show up more fully and fiercely for the people you love.
