Make Parenting Political in Practical Ways …
Most of the Time
A radical (un)learning & healing space for anyone who cares for children and raises them to be free
AS SEEN IN
Let's co-create care:
You did what you had to do to survive. Now you want to give your child all you got so they can thrive.
But conflicting parenting advice keeps you up at 1:53 AM wondering “did I do enough?” Plus, capitalism grinds and pushes you to the limits. So you accidentally snap at your child and sound like your parents (even though you promised yourself to never repeat these words to your child).
Your ancestors went through too much for you to raise your child using a parenting playbook written by white, colonial, capitalist patriarchy (or a TikTok influencer).
It’s possible for you to get unstuck from outdated family cycles and oppressive parenting “should’s”.
So that you can raise your child by your social justice values and stop passing down those hurtful family cycles.
Which parent are you resonating with today?

“I know my child doesn’t come with a manual. But I want to stop second guessing my parenting decisions.”
“I’m trying to be gentle and conscious with my child. But when they push my buttons. I get triggered and yell (sigh). It feels like I start at zero again. I want to work on my triggers.”
“I want my child to grow up and use their privileges and power for everyone’s equity and liberation.”

Kind Words from Families

“I'm more playful, curious, and engaged in what my child is doing. Prior to this program I was definitely on autopilot. I wanted to be more engaged but didn't know how, or even why I was not present. Understanding and breaking free from capitalist brainwashing is a very valuable lesson I've learned in this program. Ever grateful for being included in the hard work and insights that came from working with our cohort and Nat and a fearless and ever kind leader.”

“Seriously - the fun approach and the easy strategies she gives me to use right away make me feel like we could uplift an entire generation of kids and transform the world within the next ten years.
This is the transformative justice focused parenting guide I needed when I was a young autistic mom trying to figure out how to break cycles of hurt and rage while stuck at home with two screaming babies. I could have saved myself years of pain and and several trips to the hospital (along with all the bills and therapy) if only I had this podcast 12 years ago.
So, me from 12 years ago - if you don’t feel like you deserve time, help, and can’t ask for anything yourself, especially the warm, BFF support Nat gives to you for free - that’s a sign that this podcast and a little quality time with Nat is the gift you need. Do it for your kids, they deserve a parent who is the best version of you.”
