Growing Bigger Than

Here, it is the growth angle that we’re interested in spreading: discovering how to grow bigger than our problems so we’re able to stretch ourselves and make enough room in our experience for those we love. How else do we keep our families together during these divisive times?

Conversations with Stoic Mamas along the way

StoicMom talks with mamas who have found healthy ways to navigate this destabilizing circumstance of parenting trans-identified adolescents and adult children; mamas whose stories and strategies may inspire you.

This is not a podcast that focuses on getting your child to desist; at the SMP we focus on personal and relational growth topics such as regaining stable ground, parenting with integrity and authenticity, finding inner peace regardless of external circumstances, etc.

StoicMom Project podcast episodes are currently available through Spotify, YouTube (unless requested by the mama to not appear on the YouTube channel) and you should be able to listen using your favorite player.
