Dec 29, 2024A Space for Queer Parents (Current, Expectant, and Prospective) who aspire to live & parent consciously and intentionally
This blog is for those of us who strive to parent and live with consciousness—queer parents who value creating a family life that is:
-
Aligned with our values
-
Grounded in authenticity
-
Rich with meaning
Why This Blog Exists
Becoming a parent is a monumental decision—a journey into uncharted territory where every choice reverberates through the tapestry of your life.
Every parent grapples with the complexities of offering their child the best they can:
-
Creating a vision for your family
-
Breaking generational patterns
-
Leading with self-compassion when mistakes are made
For queer parents, there’s an added layer of unique challenges, such as:
-
Finding LGBTQIA+ affirming education for your kids
-
Navigating conversations about DNA and blended families
-
Managing complex dynamics with your family of origin
But alongside these challenges, there’s a profound gift in being queer parents. Many of us have done the heavy lifting of living authentically—breaking free of gender norms and societal roles. We’ve learned to choose belonging over fitting in and authentic self-expression over conformity.
Our children benefit from this work, gaining a model of courage and authenticity to shine their own light. This blog is for those who want to build that skill further—to model it more fully and intentionally for our children.
This is a space for conscious queer parents who are ready to explore the deeper questions:
-
How do we create a family life that reflects who we are and what we value? Is having children even right for me?
-
How can we stay present and joyful in the everyday moments, while also building toward a bigger vision?
-
What does it mean to evolve as individuals while shaping a family dynamic that’s uniquely ours?
This blog bridges personal growth and queer parenting, drawing on principles like Jungian psychology, intentional living, and spiritual frameworks to help you grow, reflect, and move forward intentionally.
Who We Are
Our approach and content blend time-tested principles from Jungian psychology, emotional intelligence, spiritual psychology, and cutting-edge personal development frameworks.
Rooted in professional coaching methodologies, our philosophy is further enriched by the wisdom of thought leaders like Brené Brown, known for her work on vulnerability and courage; Karla McLaren, who illuminates the power of emotional intelligence; and Danielle LaPorte, who emphasizes values-driven living.
With years of experience in guiding individuals through intentional growth, we provide a unique fusion of evidence-based practices, deep self-reflection, and practical tools—designed to support you in evolving as a person and shaping a family life that reflects your authentic vision and values.
Who Is This For?
Current parents, prospective parents, and expectant parents who ready to explore what it means to create a family life that reflects their deepest values, fosters connection, and embraces joy in the everyday.
We define queer as anything not hetero-normative. This includes:
-
Individuals or couples who identify as LGBTQIA+, gender fluid, or non-binary.
-
Cisgender heterosexual couples seeking to break free from traditional heteronormative roles and rigid gender expectations.
You belong here. Let’s grow and evolve together.
