More from Maureen about this episode…

Heather and I met through a mutual friend and being a lover of all things new-paradigm-parenting, I had to have her on the show! Heather is a resource, having supported her own children through their gender journeys, and through establishing her own grass roots movement, has become a go-to person in her field. Heather has just released her first book, Parenting with Pride, and I’m so excited to read it! Welcome Heather to the Sisterhood!
