How do we adapt when life takes an unforeseen turn, especially when it involves our loved ones? In this episode of Celebrations Chatter, I sit down with Sara Cunningham, author of "How We Sleep at Night" and founder of Free Mom Hugs.
Sara shares her powerful journey as a mother struggling to accept her son Parker's sexuality to becoming a passionate advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. We explore the fears and challenges Sara faced as she learned to shed internalized beliefs, as well as the turning point that led to the creation of Free Mom Hugs.
Join us for an inspiring discussion about love, acceptance, and the transformative power of understanding and advocacy.
