Click here to learn how to work with me 1-1. What happens in the moment when someone misgenders your child and you don’t speak up? In this episode, Heather Hester explores one of the most common (and least talked about) experiences for parents of LGBTQ+ kids: the moment of hesitation. When a relative uses the wrong pronoun. When a teacher slips up. When you almost say something but don’t. If you’ve ever felt your breath catch, your mind race, or your confidence disappear in those moments, you are not alone. You’ll learn: Why silence in these moments lands louder than you think What your child may be reading in your hesitation How repeated inaction can quietly reshape trust and connection A powerful mindset shift that reframes advocacy as protection, not confrontation A simple, grounded way to begin speaking up with more clarity and calm This episode will help you move from fear and uncertainty to a deeper sense of confidence in how you show up for your child.
