More Human. More Kind. | Parenting LGBTQ Kids, Unlearning Fear, Becoming More Human

by Heather Hester | Advocate for Parents of LGBTQ Teens

"Mom, I think I might be_____." Whether that sentence ended in gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, or something they're still figuring out — you are in the right place. Maybe you're scared. Maybe you're grieving something you can't quite name yet. Maybe you're desperate to get this right and terrified that you've already gotten it wrong. This show is for you, exactly where you are right now. More Human. More Kind. is hosted by Heather Hester, author of Parenting with Pride and a fierce advocate for LGBTQ kids, their parents, and the people who love them. Each week Heather brings lived experience, practical guidance, and the kind of honest conversation that helps you move from fear and confusion to grounded, loving action. Whether you're a parent in the early days of your child coming out, an ally deepening your understanding, or someone unlearning old beliefs to show up better for the people you love, this is your place. Every episode gives you something real: tools for navigating the hard moments, having difficult conversations, guidance on loving boundaries, and the steady reminder that you don't have to figure this out alone. New episodes every Tuesday and Friday. Start with fan-favorite Episode 3: Embrace the Messiness of Supporting Your LGBTQ Teen, an honest conversation that will help you exhale, reflect, and show up more fully for the people you love.

So much truth and wisdom in this podcast. I felt IMMEDIATE trust in the host, whose words convey deep knowledge, experience, and truth. Her messages in each episode are so focused, and she helps the listener grow without being top-down or coming off as "I've got it all together, and you don't." What a rich support for parents -- and therefore, for LGBTQ kids -- who might feel lost or alone. HIGHLY recommend for parents who want to learn how to best love and support their queer kids!

Really enjoyed being part of this podcast. More Human More Kind creates such a welcoming space for honest conversations about gender, identity, and how we can better support one another. Heather brings warmth and curiosity to every discussion, and it’s clear the intention is to help people grow in understanding and compassion. Grateful to have been part of it and excited for more people to discover the show!

This podcast is an amazing resource for LGBTQ teens, allies and family members alike. My brother came out as gay about 5 years ago and it was definitely a shock for my entire family. We of course love and accept him unconditionally but we struggled to find the best ways to support him as he struggled with his identity in high school. My mom found this podcast a year or two later and it has been an amazing resource for both my parents and myself. Heather’s episodes are grounding and insightful and even though it’s geared towards parents, so much of the advice and stories apply to siblings and other family members and even friends/allies. I’m incredibly grateful for this podcast, it has taught me how to be a better sibling and just a better human in general. 💛🏳️‍🌈
