Listen Later

In this heartfelt episode, Diana & Joy reflect on Diana's recent conversation with Clark from episode 83, offering an intimate look into her journey as a parent of a transgender young adult. From the wisdom Clark shared about navigating disclosure and safety to the bittersweet experience of letting go as a parent, this episode explores the complexities of growth, identity, and love.

Diana & Joy revisit key moments from Diana's discussion with Clark, including his thoughtful advice for young transgender individuals, his awareness of challenges faced by those in unsafe environments, and his clarity about living authentically while setting boundaries. These reflections underscore how much he’s grown—and how ready he is to face the world on his own terms.

This episode is also about learning to release control and embracing the present moment. As Diana shares the emotional highs and lows of their cross-country trip and Clark’s transition to a new phase of life, Diana & Joy remind listeners that while the journey may not always be perfect, it often leads to better, richer experiences and deeper understanding.
