  • Episode 14 Jay & Joe McCarthy

    The expression "Love Conquers All" sounds great in theory but too often fails to deliver in practice.  In the case of this dynamic father & son, the phrase is a resounding triumph.  Jay's discovery of and transition into his "true self" has been a journey shared by his entire social circle.    Joe's determination to honor his child and proceed "in love" is a model for  successful parenting.  Nothing is clear cut and it can get a little messy at times but as long as respect, dignity and mostly importantly love are at the forefront,  relationships can remain strong and everyone involved can grow together.  Tune in and turn on to this inspiring story.
