Scarlett shares the internal dynamics behind the movement, born from the experience of her six-year-old son Jesse’s return home on December 14th, 2012. Rather than surrender to the frightened parts of her personality that sought grief or revenge, she found her purpose in three words Jesse had written on the family's kitchen chalkboard shortly before his transition: Nurturing, Healing, Love.

Gary reflects on Scarlett's journey through the lens of the New Consciousness: what the personality calls a tragedy, the Soul recognizes as an opportunity for evolution - one that has already changed millions of lives and made clear that love is not a feeling to wait for, but a Responsible Choice available in every moment.
