When our children are born we may have in our mind a pre-written story of hopes and dreams of how their lives may play out.  Perhaps you envision your son or daughter becoming a doctor or architect, and they choose to be a dancer or follow their dream of becoming a chef.  Sometimes they choose a different path than what we imagined for them.  What if your child identifies as a different gender or gay?  What if both of your kids identify as LGBTQ+?  

In episode 18 of the podcast, Holly Bridgers shares the journey of her children, Georgia and Hope, and the process of how she came to terms with her story not playing out exactly as she had planned.  This was such a heartfelt and honest interview, and I thank Holly, Georgia and Hope for allowing us to have a peak inside of their loving LGBTQ+ family.  

In this episode Holly and I discuss:

• The childhood years and the coming-out process
• Coming to terms with identifying LGBTQ+
• Navigating social norms, labels and nomenclatures
• How to support your LGBTQ+ children
• Georgia and Hope's social media presence
• Holly's words of support to other LGBTQ+ families

If there are LGBTQ+ young adults in your life, and they would like to be part of a supportive community, here are Georgia and Hopes social media pages:
