A Journey of Resilience: Launching My First Book for LGBTQ Families

This episode is a celebration of our shared path, offering a compassionate embrace to every parent and guardian out there walking this road. Looking back at where we started and where we are now, we have peeled back the core truths of nurturing our LGBTQ+ loved ones, sharing stories that resonate with authenticity, and equipping ourselves with the tools needed to uplift and empower these incredible teens. I am also very excited to announce the upcoming release of my first book, "Parenting With Pride: Unlearn Bias To Embrace, Empower, and Love Your LGBTQ+ Teen". It's a milestone for me, as I have learned so much about myself in the writing process and could not have done it without the knowledge and support that I received from this podcast. Our quest is about so much more than mere acceptance—it's about celebrating the vibrant spectrum of love and identity.To become part of the Book Launch Team please visit: https://launch.chrysalismama.com/book-launch-team or drop me an email at hh@chyrsalismama.comConnect with Heather:Join the Just Breathe Community on PatreonGive a copy of Heather's new book, Parenting with Pride.
