Success Story: Our First Live & Unfiltered Event
We laughed, we learned, and we went global. Here's what's next....
Last Friday, we had our very first Live & Unfiltered Event, and it was so energizing! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for this real-time discussion. We really loved being able to interact directly with you in this new and unfiltered format.
Some Highlights
🔥 We tackled current events, including shifting political landscapes and what they mean for gender policies. It turns out that Trump is highly controversial even as far away as Ireland. We discussed how his election and Executive Orders related to gender identity have impacted young people and their families.
🎙️ We discussed Stella’s new podcast, Beyond Gender and her explosive interview with the controversial author, Lionel Shriver.
📢 We announced the next in-person Wider Lens Retreat for parents, which will be in Texas in July. Priority pricing options are available until March 23rd. Click here to learn more!
💡 We offered communication strategies for sharing concerns with friends, family, and professionals that are compassionate and honest
👥 We heard your GWL origin stories—how you first discovered the podcast. From frantic internet searches to friend recommendations, it was fascinating to hear how our listeners have come to find us over the years.
The live chat was buzzing with insightful comments and amazing questions. It’s clear to us that you are deep thinkers who are hungry for meaningful conversation grounded in reality and nuance.

Next Event: Friday, April 4th
We’ll be back next month for another Live & Unfiltered event, and we have something special planned. We’ll be analyzing a past GWL episode. We have a specific interviewee in mind (we’ve texted privately dozens of times about this particular guest) but we’re flexible and would love your input:
What past episode would you love for us to analyze live? Share you suggestions in the comments.
We are creating Live & Unfiltered to build an ongoing dialogue with you all. This is a space for engagement, suggestions, and debate. So if you missed this one, make sure to join us next time. While these will be on the first Friday of the month for a while, we’re open to making changes in the future so that everyone has a chance to attend.
Please stay tuned for details on April’s Event: we’ll announce the episode we want to analyze it so that we can all review it ahead of time. So take notes and bring your questions and comments to our April 4th Live & Unfiltered.
