Eps 499: Making the world safe for all kids with Ed Center

  • Summary

  • My guest today is our returning friend, Ed Center. I kick off our conversation asking Ed what Pride month means to him, and he shares his thoughts: we want to celebrate our families, the history of our community, and acknowledge that we weren't always able to have these rights & privileges. It’s a celebration of family. I ask what we can do to get out of our bubble, and Ed shares simple, do-able ideas around how to talk to your kids and how to grow as a better advocate, while giving yourself grace. We dig into how not letting discomfort or not knowing the exactly right thing to do can stop us from helping others and why we have to lean into that discomfort. Takeaways from the show Pride month is an opportunity to share with our kids that they live in a family with a different arrangement than other families There are many family-friendly Pride events How do you talk to your kids? What’s your default language around family, class, race? Pushing assumptions and changing your language to expand your and your kids’ perspectives We have to stand up for all kids, not just our kids Pride month challenge: Find and reach out to or donate to small LGBTQIA+ communities & resources in a red state Be nice and stay grounded in love For more show notes, including transcripts, visit our website here.
