In a time when gender identity has become a political lightning rod, we gather a powerful panel of moms from across the U.S. to talk openly, honestly, and compassionately about parenting in a world on fire.

From navigating legislation targeting LGBTQ+ youth to raising non-binary kids, our conversation goes deep—but never without humor and heart. We share personal stories, offer practical ways to support our kids, and highlight why kids aren’t too young to understand acceptance.

Featuring hosts Chelsea Myers, Britt Sandoval, Lindsey Basler, Jess Rabon, and new panelist Tianna Trinidad, this episode reminds us that change starts at home—and sometimes, in the school pick-up line.
