dnel1234Bravo!Heather is doing incredibly important work especially in this current climate! Thank you for creating this space for education and community.
-
beckystumpThoughtful, powerful podcast full of resources!Heather’s podcast is such a gem! Her calm voice and perspective makes it feel so peaceful to absorb the information she shares. You truly feel like you’re in a coffee shop together just chatting. Heather’s podcast is full of so many practical tips and tools to help parents support their LGTBQ+ kids. I especially appreciate how Heather invites her own family members to join her on the podcast and share their heartfelt perspectives. This podcast is full of warmth yet also keeps it real and provides answers to some of the most complicated questions. Heather helps parents feel hopeful and reminds parents that they aren’t alone in their journey of figuring out how to best show up for their child. I highly recommend to anyone who has a LGTBQ+ child in their lives!

LaurenkennaGratefulSo grateful for this beautiful podcast which supports parents who often feel alone in navigating a different life for their kids than what was imagined.

Anonymous and thankfulWOWHeather was the calming voice in a world that was otherwise in upheaval. Heather was there to pick me up (although she didn’t know it) and she was the best friend in my head helping me process and get through some difficult stuff. I loved that she gave ME permission to process and mourn my story now that it was being re-written. I was worried about how the world was going to be more difficult and that this world is not as understanding as everyone thinks. Heather gave me the time I needed to get to the next step. Heather didn’t judge me. I would download a podcast every morning and listen to her during my walk. Her voice fixed it for me. Her voice soothed my heartache. Her voice helped me get to the next step of processing and her voice helped me move on. Heather helped me have difficult conversations that were based in kindness. Heather helped me to breathe. And I love her for that.

Ten Hands One HomePowerful dialogue to explore complex relationshipsWhile this podcast focuses on parenting, there is a tremendous amount of insight on broad social and community perspectives. Guests are given power to their experiences and perspectives and invited to educate, empathize with and engage the listener. Excellent podcast

uponabranchInspirational!Such a raw an vulnerable podcast supporting the challenges and pitfalls faced in the day-to-day lives of gender-diverse teens. Your program serves as a compassionate and contemplative resource of motivation and enlightenment. As the parent of a now gender-diverse adult, I only wish we had available such a wonderfully supportive and insightful resource during our teenager years.

LaurenBo21LOVE THIS PODCAST!! 🙌❤️🏳️🌈💕🥰I was searching for resources to be the best supportive mom I could be to my pre-teen (now teen) and found this amazing podcast! It was just what I needed! I knew I needed some guidance from a parent who had experience through a similar journey and Heather was there with perfect content and even talked with me personally through email. The community Heather has built through this podcast and Facebook page has given me the confidence to not be fearful through this journey but rather to embrace it and encourage my teen to be their authentic self!
-
zbkai189Thank you.Exactly what this momma needed.
-
MrsWeiseNMSRight on ... so neededHeather is real, relatable, thoughtful, educated, and inclusive of every teen parent scenario in her talks. I love being able to hear first hand from someone who has gone through the “Valley of Darkness” and come out the other side a better person, informed, and able to help others right where they are.

SoulNotSkinHeather, Thank You.When I was Conners age, I don’t think Ellen Degeneres was out yet. The world has changed so much since that time. I’m glad I’m alive to see it. I find myself cheering on parents like Heather who are willing to step out of their own comfort zone and reputations to stand by LGBTQ children and love us - out loud! This is such an important show. BIG LOVE for this courageous family in the midwest. Yay YOU!
-
RRC in AZPowerful, profound. So needed. Thank you!!!What a breathe of fresh air this show is. So many LGBTQ people, especially youth, struggle with the devastating impact of faith-based family rejection. Parents are searching for a better way - a way to love their LGBTQ child without compromising their faith. It takes opening whatever box you have God in - thank you for helping people do that! What a gift this Podcast is!!
-
nickpe13Chrysalis mamaAmazing!!! This is so incredibly well done and your thoughtful approach is undoubtedly helping tons of families. What you’re doing truly matters! Your son is lucky to have you and vice versa ;)! Thank you for sharing w us!
