S3E02 with David Morgenstern - When Parenting Isn't One Size Fits All
Jan 08, 2026When David Morgenstern and his husband became dads, they quickly realized that while parenting advice is everywhere, community for gay dads is not. The joy of fatherhood was real — but so were the assumptions, the erasure, and the systems still built around the idea that every family has a “mom and dad.” From public spaces to school forms to everyday interactions, their family often felt unseen.
Rather than accepting that gap, David decided to build what he and his husband couldn’t find. That vision became Gaddies — the first brand created specifically for gay dads, rooted in...

Jan 01, 2026Hello friends, Happy New Year!
As we turn the page on 2025, I wanted to speak about something honestly: last year was really hard. Not just busy or challenging, but emotionally heavy. For those of us who live with anxiety — and especially for our beautiful LGBTQ+ community — last year asked a lot of our nervous systems, our hearts, and our sense of safety in the world.
Today’s episode isn’t about rushing into an expected “new year, new you” energy or pretending that everything is "fine." It’s about slowing down, telling the truth about what the past y...

My guest is Dr. Jailyn Avila, an emergency medicine physician whose journey began in Southern California, growing up in an immigrant, military-conservative household.

Jun 05, 2025🏳️🌈 As Pride Month begins, our community continues to find itself under attack — facing a rising tide of anti-LGBTQ+ hate, harmful legislation, and a wave of fear designed to silence and erase us.
