We stick a pin in the season this episode. Wrapping up a short but sweet run. Thank you to all of our guest for sharing their story. Until next time find us on IG at Mixed Modern Family

In this episode, we will speak with the mother of a transgender youth sharing some of her experiences. Her advice through any difficult parenting moment is to simply "Lean back and listen - stop getting in the way." Oftentimes, as parents, we take on the struggles of our children as our own - naturally so; however, in many cases, we make a bigger deal out of a situation than our own children do.

Erin's son Cal was assigned female at birth. Erin gave Cal a female name as her first gift to her, and, as she so eloquently shared, the name simply wasn't the 'right size'. Cal's given name is no longer what he goes by, but Erin continues to love him and support him through his journey - albeit difficult, at times. The impact of society has definitely taken a toll on transgender rights and we hope that this podcast shines light on positivity and how we, as a society, can support everyone.

Hey Fam, have you ever wondered if you’re really depressed or just feeling down. We talk about just that on this OLD episode of MMFAM. Check it out and if you’ve ever felt this way, know you’re not alone, NEVER alone and there are always people you can talk to.

Blended families aren't new, but they are definitely garnishing more attention. From fairy tales to current days, step-parenting is seen as 'evil', but shouldn't those who step in to raise another person's child be given the opportunity to show they aren't evil? Blended families exist within immediate parenting structures while grandparents and extended family are also supporting families. In this episode, we will discuss how multi-generational families, adoption, and blended families make up today's family structures. We will discuss these topics with our co-hosts, who each have their own perspective on the matter (as children of blended families and parenting within a multi-generational environment).
