Our Family's Transformation through Openness

Just Breathe: Parenting Your LGBTQ Teen - A podcast by Heather Hester - Tuesdays

Welcome to a special celebration on Just Breathe. It's our 100th episode!!!Tune in as I'm joined by my husband Steve, son Connor, and daughter Gray, to reflect on the journey our family has taken over the last six and a half years. We'll be sharing insights into the changes we've experienced, how our family dynamic has shifted to a more relaxed and open state, and the maturity growth we've seen in ourselves. We'll also touch on how this openness has made growing up easier for my daughter Gray and how important conversations can take place without fear of judgment.Our conversation will also cover our shifting perspectives on social issues, particularly our evolving understanding of queerness. You'll hear about the importance of openness to new viewpoints, compromise, and how our experiences and environments have shaped our identities.
