Show Notes
Ever wonder if you're doing this whole “inclusive parenting” thing right… or just winging it with a rainbow sticker and good intentions? Same here.
In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Elena Joy Thurston—a powerhouse CEO of Latitude and LGBTQ+ advocate, speaker, and mom of four—who went from banana-bread-baking Mormon mom to fierce voice for authentic allyship.
We dig into real allyship for parents, like unlearning bias (yes, even the sneaky stuff), turning “oops” moments into growth, and why loving your kid means more than posting during Pride Month.
Because safe spaces for LGBTQ+ kids don’t start on Instagram—they start in our living rooms.
