Welcome to Chrysalis Mama, a unique website, podcast, and blog for you to explore. Chrysalis Mama is the product of our family’s journey with depression, anxiety, and embracing our son, who, among many wonderful traits, is gay. It is my desire to pass on valuable information and offer support to those who are on a similar journey of loving and raising an LGBTQ+ child. You may be asking – how do we change this conversation? I believe it starts within each one of us, blossoms within our families, and then grows within our communities and beyond. My principles are simple yet effective – To embrace, educate, empower, and love. I am grateful for this opportunity to share my passions and thoughts with my readers and listeners. Read on, listen, join in, and enjoy!
