Episode description

On this episode of Raising Joy, we hear the story of Megan Hodges Cook, community program coordinator at Cook Children’s. Her story isn’t easyfor her to share, but she hopes it will help other parents in similar situations, and provide some insight into a topic that has become extremely controversial.

Megan is the mother of a transgender child. Her daughter came out to her when she was 12 years old, though she saw the signs nearly a decade prior. Megan isn’t embarrassed or ashamed of her story, but she knows some will have a difficult time understanding her journey. We hope listeners of this podcast will embrace Cook Children’s values of kindness and respect, and embrace Megan’s story of unconditional love for her child.
