Parenting with Pride: Unlearn Bias and Embrace, Empower, and Love Your LGBTQ+ Teen

A compassionate LGBTQ+ parenting handbook to confidently support your teen, navigate your own unlearning and grief, and build a family culture of pride and unconditional love.

Nobody tells you that loving your child and grieving the life you imagined for them can happen at the exact same time. Or that the feelings you are afraid to say out loud are real.

Whether your LGBTQ+ child came out last week or you have been navigating this for years, Parenting with Pride is a compassionate, practical guide for every parent who loves their child and is still working through what that love needs to look like now.

By walking you through actionable tools, mental shifts, and the four transformations of Embrace, Educate, Empower, and Love, this book helps you find your footing, your voice, and each other:

Embrace & Educate: • Unlearn the assumptions and messages about family, gender, and sexuality you absorbed while growing up. Empower & Love: • Process the specific emotional mess of this journey so you can show up for your child in the way they need. Actionable Steps: • Move past generic advice to a straightforward plan that makes you a catalyst for change in your community.

Combining professional research with her personal experience raising both LGBTQ+ and heteronormative kids, author Heather Hester—three-time Women in Podcasting Awards winner for Best LGBTQ+ Podcast and host of More Human. More Kind.—provides trustworthy information for families at every stage.

As the foundation for her Brave Belonging coaching method, Parenting with Pride gently, but purposefully, walks you toward fully supporting and loving your child with open arms and hearts.
