This episode contains a quick mention of suicidal thoughts. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available: THE TREVOR PROJECT (1-866-488-7386).

In this episode, Britt Barton (LGBTQ+ Mindset Coach) shares a story about how an unexpected gift from her grandmother made her feel seen, and how that gift impacted her coming out journey. 

Britt also shares her personal story of family expectations, embracing her identity, and becoming a role model for her LGBTQ+ family members.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The power of small gestures. 
  • As language evolves, so does our understanding of identity and of ourselves.
  • The responsibility we have to the younger LGBTQ+ generations.

This episode is a great reminder that when words fail us, or when we don't have the language to express ourselves, small gestures of acceptance can speak volumes.

If you are struggling with how to have a conversation with your loved one, I hope Britt's story offers a message that acceptance doesn't have to come in grand gestures. It can be in the quietest forms, and in doing so, it can heal wounds and create bonds.
