Pride Month Series | More Human. More Kind. with Heather Hester
What if the words you say in a single moment could shape your child’s inner voice for a lifetime?
Whether you're a parent, ally, or someone striving to lead with compassion in a polarized world, understanding how language—spoken and unspoken—impacts our LGBTQ+ loved ones is crucial. This episode explores how your reactions, tone, and body language can either nurture connection or deepen divides.
In this episode you will:
- Discover how to transform missteps into deeper trust and healing with your child.
- Learn the powerful role of tone, body language, and energy in affirming identity and creating safety.
- Get clear, compassionate answers to the complex question: Is it okay to use the word “queer”?
Press play now to learn how you can use language as a bridge—not a barrier—in your journey toward more human, more kind parenting.
