Um that's also sort of background reading.
And then um, yeah, reach out to me.
I, you know, I one of the things that I talked about uh in the conference we were at is our
Patriot community has so many skills to get this right.
We're thinkers, we're we're envelope pushers, we're we are people who get into other cultures and try to understand what fits for us and what doesn't.
We wrap our mind around things we didn't think we could.
We fancy ourselves progressive and out in front of stuff and and and that's fabulous.
But our expat community also has some pretty heavy norming about what's expected for kids to be successful, both in terms of neurological functioning in general and learning, but also in terms of gender.
And moving brings in all kinds of specific changes and challenges, new schools, allies leave, the discovery of a child's identity over and over again, coupled with just the typical challenges and anxiety of changing environments.
And family stress.
The f the stress that can be part of the family's journey around this is significant.
So
If it feels valuable to people to think about that intersection of expatriate living and the um gender stuff, then I I really love again, it's heart and head work to be connected with parents on this journey so that our our kids can really thrive and believe they can be healthy, happy adults uh kids and adults in whatever their gender identity is.
Well yeah.
And I'm looking I'm developing was we w were chatting, I am
I'm in the process of writing a book for folks in general and parents to kind of do their work around this stuff with a chapter on expat stuff and a and a whole section on schools, because schools are are such an important part for our kids as well.
So kind of the combination of school experience and and parenting and adoption.
It's it'll be all that stuff rolled rolled into one, but a general kind of guide for parents to find their way through doing
finding their work and finding the strength and the beauty that is in this journey that may not have been what you planned, but is still gorgeous.
It it's in it's it's gonna be a little bit still.
