Summary

In Part 1 of this deeply personal episode, Kail sits down with her son Elliott for his first public conversation about reclaiming his identity. Elliott opens up about why he’s speaking out now, what it means to live authentically, and why he no longer goes by his former name, Isaac.

Together, they explore the challenges of growing up in the public eye, setting boundaries online, and navigating identity as a teen. Kail shares her perspective and the unconditional love and support she’s always offered.

Please be kind, respectful, and understanding as Elliott shares his story on his own terms.
