May 20, 202400:53:22Tap to summarizeWelcome and Thank you for joining us for Troubles & Transitions in the Healthcare Hustle.Join me while I chat with Kailey. Kailey is my 15 year old child, who has been aware, vocal, and straight forward about their gender identity since they were 3. I’ve done my best to follow their lead and will always be learning and doing things better. We did not discuss any questions prior to recording, with the exception of boundaries they wanted to set. Kailey has been, and will always be, the driving force behind my passion for what I do and are the reason I will, unstoppably, change the world. If you are a parent of a trans kid, I’d be happy to connect with you to share my experience, however this is not about me, or any other parent. This is about our trans youth and doing better for them. We may touch on sensitive subject matter, as well as some triggering topics.
