“A lot can change when a parent recognizes when they might be acting from a place of - I want you to confide in me because it confirms my self image as a trusting, caring parent. Versus, when parents operate from a perspective of - I want you to confide in me to the extent that it affirms your own self-image and helps your own growth.” Ray Watson
Welcome to the Parenting Well podcast with Parent Engagement Network! I am Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host and today’s well sources are Ray Watson
Raye Watson (they/them) is a 23-year-old writer and designer living in the Denver metro area. Between grassroots nonprofits and student organizations, they’ve led hundreds of hours of workshops and fallen in love with storytelling for change. Drawn to social justice by their experiences as a queer student and artist, Raye lives happily in the intersection between art, academia, and advocacy. Their diverse body of work is connected by themes of design thinking, disability equity, and gender freedom. Their whole vibe is less "sex, drugs, rock and roll" and more "naps, meds, mellow jazz."
Raye Watson’s monologue - “Gender Play & Possibility” shares an experience of negotiating limiting and pathologizing narratives to access gender-affirming care. But on the other side of transition, their new freedom to expand into their true version of being nonbinary - an experience, not of neutrality, but multiplicity.

Welcome! I am Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host, and I am excited to share my recent conversation with Jesse LeBeau. Jesse has a passion for supporting young people, supporting parents, and basketball. However, at 5’8” Jesse had nearly every odd stacked against him as a young and aspiring player. Despite his size and circumstances, he managed to rise above it all and became a name in the world of street ball. He's been featured on TV, film, international tours, and the Warner Brothers film “Thunderstruck". Currently, he plays himself on ‘The LeBeau Show’, a reality series that allows viewers to follow him around the country to see firsthand the major impact he is having on youth, particularly troubled teens.
While basketball is where his story began, I think what struck me the most is how he leverages his talents to serve young people and parents all over the globe. His story is one of humanity, resilience, and being your best self - even when life gets tough.
