Their client work is focused on creative and self-generated ways of building awareness and cultivating transformation through practice. T.T. emphasizes a beyond-binary process, focusing on movement, play, and interdependence, working primarily with Queer and Gender Non-conforming folks, creatives and artists, as well as parents on the path of Embodied Parenting. They are committed to moving beyond our most-human and culturally-located ways of defining ourselves and towards something wider, deeper, more rooted and expansive.

This episode explores:

• What is embodied parenting

• How our conditioned tendencies result in default patterns in the child parent relationship

• Why so many parents struggle with sacrifice and how to find balance

• What is gender expansive parenting and how to explore it in your family

• A gender expansive somatic practice that explores gender as an animal
