Friday wine reception meet and greet for the onlin

Friday wine reception meet and greet for the online writing retreat was wonderful. I am always amazed at how the right people come together at the right time. I see some future collaborations and friendships developing from these ladies already. Grateful for these participants and their flexibility to pivot online. I can't wait to read their books!

Let's talk about trans kids and hygiene. As parent

Let's talk about trans kids and hygiene. As parents, we don't typically go around announcing the difficulties we have with getting our kids to wash. There's some societal shame around being dirty and having dirty kids. But there is a very good reason why gender-diverse kids and teens struggle with hygiene and it all has to do with their body dysphoria. They might feel discomfort or distress when they have to see their body naked and be faced with it not aligning with who they know themselves to be. Touching those body parts, or seeing themselves in the mirror when they brush their teeth can be stressful and upsetting. So they avoid it at all costs. Even as supportive parents or caregivers, if we don't know why our kids don't shower anymore, we can go on a yelling rampage without seeing the connection this has to gender dysphoria. Now you know. Now the discussion can be around how to support your child to both be hygienic without being stressed. Sometimes that's showering with the lights out and only a nightlight, or while wearing a bathing suit. What other ways can you accommodate your kid? #parenting #parentingtransgenderyouth #parentingtranskids #parentingtransgenderchildren #lgbtq #trans #transgender #gendernonconforming #nonbinary #genderqueer #gendernonbinary #dysphoria

I had to laugh when my client today said how much

I had to laugh when my client today said how much she looks forward to her Tammy Time. I said I might have to trademark that! But in all seriousness, it is a blessing to be able to help parents that are just a few steps behind me on a similar path using the coaching skills I have used for years in different areas. Who would have known all those years ago when I learned powerful questions that I would be empowering these amazing parents to support their exceptional kids! #parenting #parentingtransgenderyouth #parentingtranskids #parentingtransgenderchildren #lgbtq #trans #transgender #gendernonconforming #nonbinary #genderqueer #gendernonbinary

Is it a good day to curl up with a good book? Stee

Is it a good day to curl up with a good book? Steep yourself a cup of tea and dive into Clinical Trial for a few hours of escapism. Dr. Georgia Laurence’s patient is going to die without an immediate heart transplant, and a rare blood type makes a donor nearly impossible. There’s a sliver of hope when she learns about a clinical trial right at her hospital. The only problem is the stem cell researcher is Dr. Matt Mancini, a man from her past who has absolutely no reason to help her. Matt could soon be sharing the cure for heart disease with the world and can’t risk using such a sick patient as his first human candidate. While his attraction to Georgia tempts him to reconsider, the stem cells are stolen and his career is jeopardized. Georgia and Matt must work together to save his study before her patient dies. As they get closer to the truth, they find the thief will stop at nothing, not even murder, and they’ll have to decide what matters most: her patient, his study… or their lives.

What are your natural gifts and talents? Don't let

What are your natural gifts and talents? Don't let them wilt away from not being used to your full capacity. As women, we might hide our brilliance. As mothers, we might put ourselves last on the list. As parents to transgender kids, we might be all consumed by keeping our kids safe and happy. But we don't have to. You matter! Continue to bloom, continue to shine, continue to be you! #parenting #parentsoftranskids #transgender #lgbtq #parentingwithpride #parentingtransgenderteens #definingtransgender #genderqueer #gendercreative

Beautiful day spent with the family on a mountain

Beautiful day spent with the family on a mountain trail. I love the different conversations between brothers, between father and older son, father and younger son. These are the bonding hikes that make our family what it is. Close. Connected. Loved. #parentingtransgenderteens #transgender #parentsoftranskids #parentingwithpride #lgbtq #genderqueer #parenting #hiking #lakelouise #banff

Be confident that your child will be okay. When

Be confident that your child will be okay. When I coach Parents of Trans kids I help you:
>Understand the process
>Navigate social transition
>Keep your child safe As the parent of a transgender child, I know all too well the questions floating around in your head: Will my kid be bullied?
Is this a phase?
What are the medical implications? I also have felt those emotions overwhelming you: fear, guilt, sadness, and possibly even pride and joy! I have been where you are. My child came out to us at 11 years old, more than four years ago now. I was grateful for my knowledge as a former registered nurse, and my experience as a professional life coach, but it was reaching out and finding my own mentors that helped me the most on this journey. Today, my son is happy and healthy so I have the time and energy to give back to parents who are longing to support their child but just don’t know where to start and feel lost in the process. I am here to reassure you that your child can thrive! AND YOU MATTER TOO! Transgender kids and teens, like all children, fair much better in life with loving support from their parents. Trans kids face a world in which they are often misunderstood. They need someone to dry their tears, someone to give them hope that it gets better, and someone who stands up for their rights. As their parent or caregiver, you happen to be human. You have tears and fears of your own that you don’t show your child. You need support too. I am here to support you so that you can support your child.

Is it cheating to ask this question the day after

Is it cheating to ask this question the day after national puppy day? Or is it a strategy for cat people to be loud and proud? My answer is both! I have had cats my whole life (despite allergies) and yet, Milo is clearly the love of my life since we got him two years ago. So... Are you a dog person or a cat person? #eitheror #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram
