Episode 319: Amber Hollowell | Co-Founder of Transparents Podcast & Advocate for Trans Rights
Amber Hollowell is a nurse, health advocate, mother, and the co-founder of TransParents Podcast, a platform for supporting parents of trans and gender-diverse children. When her son came out as trans, it changed everything. Not just for their family, but for Amber’s understanding of the healthcare system, advocacy, and the essential role of empathy in parenting. In this episode, we talk about what it means to fight for bodily autonomy, how trans rights intersect with reproductive and healthcare rights, and how parents can show up with love and bravery in a world full of noise, misinformation, and fear. Amber's story is one of fierce love, grounded activism, and a powerful reminder that empathy isn’t optional, it’s necessary. Whether you’re a parent, an ally, or someone seeking understanding, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone ready to trade fear for facts, silence for voice, and division for truth.
“We can choose to let life define our limits, or we can live in defiance and say there are none.”
