Parenting DecolonizedShow Notes
In this solo episode of Parenting Decolonized Podcast, I’m sharing my thoughts and reflections on the 2022 Rona, Racism, and Radical Parenting Conference. I also get very personal about my current mental health struggles and the moves I’m making to heal. Tune in to hear my genuine thoughts about organizing this conference, why I’m struggling to be a conscious parent right now, and the healing work I intend to do via the Parenting Decolonized Podcast.
If you’re struggling right now, know that you are in company. We’re not meant to do any of this alone, so stick with me and we will heal alongside one another.
