Today we connect with Theresa Thorn, the co-host of the parenting humor podcast One Bad Mother and the author of It Feels Good to Be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity for children.  We loved exploring the ways in which gender can be a unique and personal expression of self for all of us… Additionally, how this perspective can build momentum in dismantling our binary thinking and unconscious fears/expectations of who are kids are and who they will become. Join us!
