Meet one of the bravest souls I know — my trans child Grey. From his "coming out" journey, to his recent gender affirming surgery, this isn't just a convo about gender. It's about the mess and the magic of growing up, parenting through the unknown, showing up with love (even when you don't have all the answers), and the beautiful, messy business of becoming who you are. Grey's gift for weaving big truths into compelling stories (that hit you right in the heart), made him a force in the world of documentary filmmaking and digital media (ie Coca-Cola & The New York Times). This one's got grit, grace, and a whole lot of wisdom from both sides of the generational gap.
✨ VOCAB LESSON: "Gender Identity" - One's innermost concept of self as male, female, a blend of both or neither .
✨ AFFIRMATION-for-the-week: "My authenticity is my superpower. I will not shrink to fit someone else's story."
