Witnessing your child's first steps toward becoming who they are can be as awe-inspiring as it is daunting.

On today’s episode of Metamorphosis Unleashed, Doc G navigates these waters with Kristen Cooper, who brings personal experience raising her non-binary child, Ash. Kristen's heartfelt stories—from embracing unexpected motherhood to tackling discrimination challenges—reveal the rich tapestry of intersectionality and empathy in understanding our children's unique identities. We discuss the complexities of raising children who don't fit neatly into society's checkboxes, highlighting the pivotal role of support and acceptance in their development.

Like any journey, parenting comes with its fair share of trials and triumphs. Doc G shares a poignant story of her daughter's encounter with a beloved pet, which is a springboard into the broader issues of discerning a child's actions and intentions. Kristen and Doc G broach the subject of therapy for neurodiverse children and the emotional rollercoaster that can accompany our quest for appropriate care. We uncover the doubt and guilt that often accompany parenting, affirming the need to be patient with ourselves as we learn to nurture our children's needs.

Doc G and Kristen take a hopeful look at the future as we discuss the transition of a neurodiverse high school student to college. We explore the considerations for choosing an environment that educates and celebrates the individuality of non-binary students.

Join us for an episode that celebrates diversity as much as it guides you through the intertwining paths of neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ identities.
