Chad Peevy knew early on that he didn't fit in. Not in his strict, Fundamentalist home. Not in his rural Arkansas town. Chad was gay, and had no one he could safely tell, and knew no one else like him. The result were feelings of isolation, hopelessness, and anxiety."Run away," he was encouraged by an educator at his school.And eventually, he did.Today, Chad is the founder of businesses, non-profits, and a popular speaker, and the author of Break & Untangle: Discover the Freedom to Be You Despite the Inherited Mindsets Holding You Back.You will learn:* Being rejected by family and the community can result in higher rates of mental health concerns and even suicidality in LGBTQIA youth. * There is hope and forgiveness if there is a willingness to reunite when families don't understand how to support their child as they come. Chad gives an example of what is needed.* Organizations and advocates like Chad that  give emotional support and information can make the difference between life and death for  LGBTQIA.To claim Chad's free book, go to https://chadpeevy.com/ Lizbeth’s links Support the podcast and Lizbeth's writing for $2 or $5 a month on Patreon HEREOR Buy Lizbeth a Coffee Lizbeth's memoir Pieces of Me: Rescuing My Kidnapped Daughters is now a TV movie, #Stolen By Their Father on Lifetime, now streaming on Roku, Vudu, Hulu, and Amazon Prime.Lizbeth's second book, Grounded in Grit: Turn Your Challenges Into Superpowers is available to order wherever books are sold!

When Betsy Graziani Fasbinder married more than 30 years ago, she committed to more than a husband. She inherited a son, whose mother had died far too young.Unlike blended families of divorce, Betsy had to navigate her new family's grief and her own desire to be included as a mother. Journaling and writing helped. Today, that writing is Filling Her Shoes: A Memoir of an Inherited Family.You will learn:Love and loss, grief and gratitude can coexist.Journaling can help not simply to remember events but to facilitate better perspective and responses in the moment.Step-parenting might be better termed step-in parenting, designed to augment rather than replace the first parent.BIO:Betsy Graziani Fasbinder is a writing and speaking coach, an award-winning author of three books, and the podcast host of The Morning Glory Project.To connect with Betsy and her work, find her at https://www.BetsyGrazianiFasbinder.comLizbeth’s links Support the podcast and Lizbeth's writing for $2 or $5 a month on Patreon HEREORBuy Lizbeth a CoffeeLizbeth's memoir Pieces of Me: Rescuing My Kidnapped Daughters is now a TV movie, #Stolen By Their Father on Lifetime, now streaming on Roku, Vudu, Hulu, and Amazon Prime.Lizbeth's second book, Grounded in Grit: Turn Your Challenges Into Superpowers is available to order wherever books are sold!Interested in seeing if you and Lizbeth would partner well for 1:1 coaching?

Our ancestral histories can have a direct link to our own stress levels.2. There are many interventions outside of traditional therapy that may assist in interrupting intergenerational negative patterns.3.
