For LGBTQIA+ family and community organizations
Queer and trans parents deserve support now—and something built specifically with their realities in mind next.
In Awe, the flagship Older Parents & Old Souls Edition, is available now for families whose pregnancies carry complexity, history, advocacy, and becoming. It is trauma-informed, outcome inclusive, family-structure inclusive, and built for the inner work mainstream pregnancy culture often misses.
The current edition can support families now. The next edition will be rooted in the lived realities of queer and trans parents—from the beginning.

In Awe — A collaboration
Two pathways forward
Support families now. Help shape what comes next.
This page is both an invitation to explore what already exists and a call for aligned partners who care about building something more specific, more rooted, and more useful for queer and trans parents.

The flagship In Awe edition was created for older parents and old souls: people whose pregnancies are not simple, shallow, or purely logistical.
Many queer and trans families may still find it deeply resonant now, especially when pregnancy carries identity questions, chosen-family dynamics, advocacy needs, grief, hope, or a sense of becoming someone new.

What already lives inside In Awe
A structured companion for the inner terrain of pregnancy.
Identity-centered support
Pregnancy is never just logistics. In Awe supports reflection around identity, family scripts, fear, hope, advocacy, grief, belonging, and becoming.
Family-structure inclusive
Partners, co-parents, older children, trusted loved ones, and community support all have a place in the journey.
Outcome inclusive
In Awe holds families regardless of how their path unfolds. Loving Legacies, a complete companion for pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or the death of a baby, is always free and does not require enrollment.
Building the next edition
The Queer & Trans Parents Edition should be rooted from the beginning.
Sacred Transformation is building toward future editions that speak more directly to the lived realities of communities too often underserved by mainstream pregnancy culture.
The current edition can support families now. The next edition will be rooted in the lived realities of queer and trans parents—from the beginning.
This is not a request for one organization to “approve” the work. It is an invitation to begin relationship with people and organizations who may want to help shape what this edition becomes.
Possible forms of connection include:
- an introductory conversation about needs, gaps, and fit
- feedback on language, framing, and priorities
- community partnership or referral exploration
- introductions to aligned clinicians, birth workers, advocates, or families
- future advisory or consulting roles as the edition develops
Exploratory conversations are about relationship, alignment, and possibility. Any formal advisory or consulting partnership would be compensated.

About the founder
Maggie Krug
Educator · Writer · Curriculum Designer · Founder, Sacred Transformation
I built In Awe during my own later-in-life, high-risk pregnancy—in another country, in lockdown, caregiving through my husband’s cognitive decline, in complete isolation from support. I went looking for structured support for the identity-level work of becoming. I didn’t find it. So I spent three years building what should have existed.
Sacred Transformation is rooted in lived experience, structured learning design, and deep respect for the people who support families through thresholds of identity, grief, advocacy, and becoming.
I am not claiming to have already built the definitive resource for queer and trans parents. I am saying it should exist—and that it should be shaped with people whose lived experience, professional work, and community wisdom belong at the center.
Support families now. Help shape what comes next.
