MP3•Episode home

We’re back! To kick off this new season, I invited back the last person I had on the show before my break.

Mitch joins me again to share what the last couple of years have been like as his family adjusted to their move to Washington from Texas in support of their trans daughter.

We talked about the difficult transition they experienced, having left behind a strong community ties because he feared for his daughter’s safety, and we talked about what it’s been like to be an advocate for his daughter and trans youth in both Texas and now here in Washington. We also talked about the beauty of curiosity, ways we can show up for our kids, and how he’s grown as a parent and as a person through this experience.

Check out the full episode to hear about:

How Mitch and his family have decompressed and settled into their new lives
Why inspiring curiosity is the first step in encouraging critical thinking
Why we all need to learn to sit with the discomfort of boredom
Why it’s so important for parents of trans kids to tell their stories, in small and large ways
