Issue #28 • Supporting Our Transgender Children and Practicing Unconditional Love

Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) ... let's talk about navigating this as parents. There is a VERY special Q&A inside.

⚠️ Quick note: I know in my last newsletter I said I’d share a sneak peek of our nursery and backyard studio designs, but I decided that the content in this newsletter deserved its own time to shine. That said, I’ll be sharing those sneak peeks in this coming Monday’s newsletter instead. Stay tuned!

The desire for acceptance is rooted in our intrinsic human need for connection and belonging, which is essential for our well-being and survival. From the moment we are born, we seek love and acceptance from our caregivers, family members, and peers. As we grow older, this desire for love and acceptance continues, and we seek validation from friends, romantic partners, and society at large. We want to be seen, heard, and understood, and we want to feel that we belong in the world. This desire for love and acceptance is universal, and it transcends race, gender, sexuality, and other social categories. It is a fundamental part of the human experience, and it drives us to seek out meaningful connections with others.
