Courageous

The transgender journey of a parent (and why Josephine Hughes made a podcast about it)


Listen Later

Have you ever been hit with unexpected news? Something that felt life changing - and that you definitely didn’t feel ready for? Well that’s exactly what happened to Josephine Hughes - twice - when two of her children came out as transgender. 

As she tried to navigate this unexpected change in her children’s identities - but also her own (and her families) she found there was very little support for parents of grown up children going through a similar journey. And when she shared some of the difficult feelings around being a parent of  transgender children - in her TikTok videos, she found herself on the receiving end of criticism.

Nevertheless, Josephine has found the courage to share her journey in a new podcast called Gloriously Unready - which is all about how to navigate change - and how to deal with the surprises life throws at you.

In this episode of the Courageous Content Podcast, you’ll hear from Josephine Hughes - a counsellor who has been brave enough to turn her personal experience into content - to support other parents like her - and help them support their children and families.
