You love your LGBTQ child fiercely, so why do you still have thoughts that terrify you?

Thoughts you’d never say out loud.

Thoughts that make you question if you’re a good parent at all.

This episode brings those hidden fears into the light, gently and without judgment.

In this raw and healing episode of More Human, More Kind, Heather Hester talks directly to parents who are trying to show up with love… while secretly battling shame, fear, and doubt.

You’ll learn:

1. Why your brain creates “dark” thoughts when your child comes out
2. How internalized fear and cultural conditioning shape your parenting response
3. Why mental health and emotional regulation are essential in LGBTQ parenting
4. How shame harms your relationship even when left unspoken
5. The truth about what kind of ally your child actually needs

This is the episode to listen to if you’ve ever thought:

“What if I mess this up?”

“Why can’t I just be okay with this already?”

“What’s wrong with me?”

The truth? Nothing is wrong with you. You’re not broken.

You’re a parent trying to unlearn generations of fear and step into open-minded, practical allyship.

And that process takes empathy, not perfection.

Listen now to release the shame that’s been holding you back from deeper connection with your LGBTQ child.
