Coming out

I’ve been out with my mates for the last 6 years and I run a journalism thing and when I meet new people I always introduce myself as my chosen name.
I’ve come out to my parents twice before now and the first time my mum refused to look or talk to me and the second time my mum rang my dad crying. He told me to just keep it quiet for her sake.
My dad doesnt get it but doesnt really care, so not worried about him, just my mum. She is in therapy now but idk.
But my work is evolving and I need to be out to progress with that and I need to actually start my transition. I’ve only just turned old enough to properly start my transition, so I have time but I am at a point where I need to come out.
So, with my mum’s reactions and such, does anyone have any advice? I know at the end of the day I’ll have to just do it, but is there any advice someone could give?
Hope you’re all well and safe!
