What if being seen—truly seen—was both the most courageous and most healing thing you could do?

In this episode, we dive into the layered journey of visibility for LGBTQ+ individuals and their families. Whether you're navigating your own experience or standing beside someone you love, you'll hear honest reflections on grief, pride, advocacy, and the transformative power of being fully present in who you are. This episode is for anyone who's ever felt both the fear and the freedom of being visible.

  • Learn how to hold space for both grief and joy as your child—and you—grow into more authentic versions of yourselves.
  • Discover how visibility, even in quiet or uncertain ways, becomes a powerful act of advocacy and love.
  • Gain clarity on essential LGBTQ+ terms like sexual orientation and gender identity, and how they shape real human experiences.

Hit play to explore the messy, beautiful truth about visibility—and why your voice, your presence, and your journey deeply matter.
