  • Eps 497: Inclusivity through fashion with Elizabeth Brunner

    Eps 497: Inclusivity through fashion with Elizabeth Brunner
    Jun 17 2024
    My guest today is Elizabeth Brunner, the founder of StereoType Kids, a gender-inclusive fashion brand inspired by her boy/girl twins. Elizabeth shares her story, what gender-inclusivity means to her, and what blended fashion is. We talk on unlearning social norms & gender stereotypes, and I share a surprising story of a time this came up for me personally when Ian was young. Elizabeth shares the difference between how people react when her daughter dresses more traditionally-masculine versus when her son dresses in more traditionally-feminine clothes and how she coached her son to reply when someone tells him what he “can’t wear.” I bring up the dance between encouraging our daughters to express and wear whatever they want while still keeping them safe from dangerous people. Takeways from the show Get to know StereoType Kids, a gender-inclusive fashion brand What is gender-inclusivity? What is blended fashion? “We try to fit into society and society norms, and that’s not actually normal. We’re meant to be expressive.” Unlearning social norms We don’t realize all of our conditioning until we have to confront it Being curious about our responses to our child(ren) “Me is all I want to be.” Keep growing, keep being curious, & keep discovering new parts of yourself For more show notes, including transcripts, visit our website here.

    Eps 495: Showing up for our LGBTQIA+ kids with Ed Center and Jaimie Kelton
    Jun 10 2024
    My guests today are Ed Center and Jaimie Kelton, and they’re answering questions from YOU! This is a juicy one - we get into how to react when your LGBTQIA+ teen comes out, whose news that is to share with others, and what to do when people who don’t treat our adolescent(s) the way we’d like (cue Mama Bear). The latter half of the episode gets into online safety & pornography, the importance of knowing queer role models in real life, using TV & books as teaching tools, and talking about sex with our queer kids. Takeaways from the show What’s the preferred and most up-to-date language and acronym? Do we say queer? What can straight parents do to best support their questioning or queer teen? Coming out stories and reactions - whose news is this to share? Coming out is an ongoing process. It is hard & scary! We all hold internalized homophobia How do we handle family or friends who don’t support our queer teen? “Choose love, choose love, choose love.” Online safety The importance of knowing real-life queer role models Sex-ed & sex talks with our queer kids Consent versus enthusiastic consent For more show notes, including transcripts, visit our website here.
