What if the antidote to burnout, division, and fear isn’t more perfection, but more humanity and more kindness?
In this inaugural episode of More Human, More Kind, Heather Hester opens her heart and shares the deeply personal journey from her first podcast, Just Breathe, a lifeline for parents of LGBTQ+ teens, to this wider, more expansive space for healing, allyship, identity, and inclusion. It’s a conversation about change, the kind that’s messy, honest, and necessary.
Whether you're a parent, educator, or ally feeling overwhelmed in a world full of noise and expectations, this episode offers gentle but transformative guidance. You’ll learn why true kindness is rooted in empathy, courage, and presence, not perfection or performance. This is a space for those craving mental health support, meaningful connection, and permission to be exactly where they are.
Press play to rediscover what it means to be fully human, fiercely kind, and deeply aligned with what matters most, and walk away with 3 grounding practices you can use today to feel more connected, more real, and more supported.

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, compassionate connection.
For parents, allies, and those pioneering a way to lead with love and kindness, I’m here with true, messy, and heart-warming 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 part of this journey.
