Welcome to the Big Change of Heart Podcast! I am your host, Dr. Jennelle, a Relationship Advisor and Justice of the Peace! This podcast is all about helping nontraditional relationships and families (i.e., female same-sex couples, divorced/remarried couples, and blended families) through every life transition!
What exactly is a big change of heart? If you’re a woman interested in a same-sex relationship and have previously been in heterosexual relationships, you’ve had a big change of heart. If you’re separating or divorcing from your heterosexual partner, you’ve had a big change of heart. If you had children with a prior male partner and today you’re raising a blended family with same-sex parents, you’ve had a big change of heart. If you’ve had a major life shift in the name of love, well, you’ve had a big change of heart!
On the Big Change of Heart Podcast you’ll find support, guidance, and advice for all of the challenges that come with choosing a nontraditional path and leading a big, bold, beautiful life.
Whether sharing from my own education and experience, featuring experts, or talking with listeners who have their own big change of heart stories; each week you will find an honest, open discussion about choosing to live for love.
Are you loving what you’re hearing? Do you have a question, comment, or issue you want to share with the Big Change of Heart Podcast listeners? Then leave a message or drop a voice-love note!
