Deedee Lloyd, MEd is a Certified Life Coach, curriculum specialist, and board member of Stand with Trans, a national LGBTQ+ organization. With over 25 years as an educator specializing in Autism Spectrum Disorder, ESL, and gifted students, Deedee brings a unique combination of professional expertise and deeply personal experience to her work. As the parent of a transgender son, Deedee understands firsthand the fear, overwhelm, and grief that can surface when a child comes out. She knows what it’s like to struggle with worry, to grieve expectations, and to feel isolated—because she lived it. After nearly destroying her relationship with her son, she developed the proprietary PRIDE (Peaceful Relationships Imagined, Designed, and Experienced) methodology that transformed their connection from resigned acceptance to authentic love. Deedee holds a Master’s in Education in Curriculum and Instruction and is certified by The Life Coach School. She has spent over two decades creating specialized curricula for diverse learners and now applies that same skill to helping parents navigate one of the most challenging journeys of their lives. Through her coaching practice, Pride Relationship Coaching, and her book Love That Transcends Tolerance, Deedee helps parents move beyond fear and into peace—creating relationships with their transgender children that are filled with connection, compassion, and unconditional love. When she’s not teaching, coaching, or writing, Deedee continues her professional development through gender studies courses, workshops, and ongoing education to stay current in best practices for supporting transgender families.
