The Blissful Parenting Podcast

If your child is struggling with identity issues (and possibly LGBTQ+) you may be wondering what to do and say. How do you let them know that it's okay to come out and you are there for them? Or how do you find help and support if you aren't sure that it is okay?

It is crucial that you get yourself to a mental space to support your children as they come out as LGBTQIA+. Because if you aren't supportive you will drive them away and they will find support elsewhere.

Today on the podcast Annie Henderson is here to give us all guidance on what to do if our children show signs of being LGBTQIA+.

Annie M Henderson is a Certified Professional Life Coach specializing as a Coming Out Coach for the LGBTQIA community and helps people-pleasers that avoid conflict, over apologize, and struggle to say no, start living authentically and find the peace they have been missing.

She is the host of the podcast Coming Out Loved And Supported.

After going from an unfulfilled existence checking all the boxes of perceived  “success,” to breaking into an intentional, abundant life, she now uses her experiences and professional background as a teacher, counselor, and life coach, to teach and mentor others. In working with her diverse clientele to discover unapologetic joy, including the LGBTQIA community and people-pleasers, her teachings focus on releasing self-doubt, embracing the power in setting boundaries, and removing the habit of over apologizing.  She’s the international best-selling co-author of She Did It!, which follows women from around the world and their transformational journey.  Annie’s masters degrees in education, school counseling and professional counseling complement her mission and inform her regular content shared with loyal followers on TikTok and Instagram. Annie’s insights have been featured in Life Camera Action, Open Mike Podcast, VeryWellMind, and The Jeff Crilley Show.

We think if we don't push our kids that they won't grow up, but the reverse is true. When we try to push them into being what we want we get resistance and make parenting much harder on ourselves than it has to be.

Linda is all about making parenting easier! She notices all the ways that we overcomplicate our lives and especially our parenting and shows us how to clear all that away.

Listen to this week's episode for amazing insights on when not to push your kids, and what to do instead!

Linda Clement, parenting coach and author, long-time La Leche League Leader (recently retired), fastpitch softball umpire (also retired) and occasional doodler, offers a quirky, insightful view of children and childrearing. From a philosophy of respect for kids to lifelong learning in fields from child development and neurobiology to meditation and nutrition, Linda helps parents see through the cultural clutter for what kids (and parents, and families and communities) really need.

The mother of two grown daughters and grandmother to one adorable Luka, Linda wrote her first book, The Way and the Power of Mothering, meditations on mothering, balance and the Taoist Way, as a new-mom present for her sister, Liz, upon the birth of Linda's niece, Gabrielle Grace. The original publication was hand-drawn, and it is now available from Amazon as an ebook and paperback. Her second book, Lazy Parenting, parenting a simpler way, is also available as an ebook or paperback, on Amazon, and her third book, the covid-pivot, is the ebook The Manual Your Child Came With, a parenting book about your child, available from www.raisingparents.net, and will soon be followed by her third book, Lazier Parenting, still more simpler parenting.

She also recently published “28 Days to Love, Joy and Prosperity”, a workbook. Ms. Derbolowsky, the developer of the Quantum Heart Field Experience is a clairvoyant medium, recognized metaphysical teacher, spiritual counselor, and energy worker.

Regardless of what they say or do, your teens need to know that you'll always be there for them; that you will support them no matter what. Their boundary pushing is serving to help them develop their values, beliefs, and who they want to be in the world.

In today's episode, Casey shares great advice and tools to use while navigating loving boundaries with your teenagers. She wants every parent to remember this: the messiness of your kids at the moment does not mean you're a bad parent or that you're doing something wrong. There are a few tweaks you can make and some self-care you can practice to influence what you are going through.

Casey O'Roarty is a Parent Coach and Positive Discipline Trainer supporting parents in navigating the wild terrain of the teen years. She provides parents with the tools and the mindset they need to deepen their relationship with themselves and their families. She is the host of a conscious parenting podcast Joyful Courage. She is a mom of teens - a 15 and 18-year-old. When she's not creating podcasts, running her membership, or working one on one with clients, you might find her day-tripping on her stand-up paddleboard, burning up the dancefloor, or obsessing on her personal growth.
