What More Human Actually Means: Being Less Performed Changes Everything When Parenting LGBTQ Kids

Continue being more human on Substack!

What does being “more human” mean to you?

This episode is a personal one, tracing how performing "fine" for most of my life, learned as a survival mechanism, gave way to embracing the vulnerable, raw, and messy parts of who I actually am. It's a direct answer to the question at the center of this whole show, and an invitation for you to ask it of yourself.

In this episode, you'll learn how to:

Understand "more human" as more honest and less performed, not more polished or more healedRecognize the gap between how put together you look and how you actually feel insideNotice one relationship where honesty would be met with relief instead of judgmentPractice one true sentence instead of the edited version you'd normally give
