Ep 24: A Love Letter to Parents

“Systemic oppression will be there for you to dismantle after four more breaths. Your toddler who’s crying, banging on the bathroom door will be ready to connect with you after three more breaths. That Zoom meeting will be there for you after two more breaths.

Right in this moment…welcome home, welcome back to your body. You’re exactly where you need to be.”

 

Episode Summary:

In this episode, it’s all about love. You’ll hear encouraging words from five fellow decolonized, embodied, and intergenerational parents and myself. I hope our love and care fill your cup a bit and let you know that you’re not alone even though parenting in a pandemic feels so isolating sometimes.
