Sometimes people are put in our lives to guide us in getting to know another part of ourselves. The relationship might last for a few days or a few years, but their effect on your journey will last forever. I talk about that in this episode of Dem Bois Podcast. Today I sit down with Vee Martin, and we talk about transitioning as a parent, acceptance from your family/friends, mental health and the importance of therapy, and so much more.
We talk:
Growing up wanting to be a pleaser - 4:44
Talking to your children about transitioning - 11:45
What Vee’s support system looks like now - 26:51
Checking in with your children during your transition - 35:54
The importance of therapy, especially as Black men - 41:02
Advice for parents who are looking to transition - 55:44
