Hey Fam!
I’m Nick North. I’m a Dad of 5, husband of 1, + hype guy for the masses, because everyone needs a hype guy. I also happen to have spent the first 30 years of my life living as a woman. I came out as trans at 30 with the love and support of my wife, kids, friends, + even my ex-husband. Since then I've learned how to love myself, made a documentary about my transition, and was featured on an HGTV show, Life Under Renovation. If you want to open your heart and your mind join in as our big, queer, blended family, of 5 kids ages 7-16 create a life we can be proud of!
YOU DESERVE TO FEEL PROUD OF YOURSELF
WOULDN’T IT BE NICE TO LOOK BACK AT THE LAST WEEK / MONTH / SEASON
AND SAY,
“WOW, I’VE REALLY DONE A LOT. I’VE DONE ENOUGH.”
I know it sounds impossible, but I swear it’s doable.
And the process only takes about 20 minutes and costs $0.
THIS MAGIC, MINDSET-SHIFTING TOOL IS CALLED
THE DID IT LIST AND - NOT TO OVERSELL IT - BUT
IT’S LIFE-CHANGING.
I’LL WALK YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS
IN THIS FREE WORKBOOK.

FAVE IN DADLIFE
EVER WONDER WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A DAD OF 5, WHO BIRTHED MOST OF YOUR KIDS BEFORE YOU REALIZED WHO YOU REALLY WERE AND TRANSITIONED FROM THEIR MOM TO THEIR DAD? WELL THEN YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!
Every time I think of little boy me, seeing Crunchy and Smoothie, celebrating who I am over, while reading along with his after school snack, I can’t quite believe that I made it here. That we made it here.
Kraft Peanut Butter is one of the simple joys in life that we all have access to. Regardless of what schools we went to, what neighbourhood we grew up in, what type of cars we drive, or what our beliefs, most of us have that classic green, or red lid somewhere in our kitchen. Even little boy me.
