You do not have to say everything perfectly. You do not have to already know all the words. You just have to keep showing up.
This free guide gives you a gentle place to start, with vocabulary, pronoun basics, a simple glossary, and one freeing truth: perfection is not required. Presence is.
No pressure. No catch. Just a place to start.
What You’ll Find Inside the Free Guide
1. Simple language for understanding LGBTQIA+ terms
2. Pronoun basics and how to practice with care
3. A glossary you can return to anytime
4. Encouragement for the moments when you feel unsure
5. The one thing your kid needs more than perfect words
Who’s this for?
Maybe your child just came out and you are still finding your footing.
Maybe they came out a while ago and you want to keep growing.
Maybe you sense a conversation is coming.
Maybe you are an ally, family member, teacher, pastor, or faith leader trying to show up well for the people you love.
Wherever you are starting from, you belong here. And so does your kid.
Our Story
Why I made this for you
One of my greatest sadnesses is that I didn’t do my own work early enough for my daughter, Sydney, to feel safe and beloved as she discovered who she was. Her dad and I were learning and unraveling and asking new questions, but we weren’t talking about it out loud, in front of her, soon enough. And that silence left her more alone than she ever should have been.
If I could go back, I would shake myself awake years earlier.
I couldn’t find the resources I needed. I didn’t have the words. I didn’t know where to start. And I don’t want that to be your story.
So I made something for you. A free guide with the vocabulary, the pronouns, and the one truth that matters more than getting it all right: perfection is not required. Not even a little. What your kid needs is not a perfect parent. They need you to show up and try.
Get yourguide above — it takes 15 seconds to sign up for and it’s completely free.
And when you’re ready to go deeper, I created a full Me Course alongside Isaac Archuleta (he/they), LPC, founder and CEO of iAmClinic, and Sara Cunningham, author, activist, and founder of the nonprofit Free Mom Hugs. It is the roadmap I wish I’d had. Explore the full Me Course
You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to keep showing up.
