Ep 46: Integrating Lessons from Season 4

"…We do our healing work with a clear analysis of what’s at the root of our struggle: on one hand, that’s white colonial capitalist patriarchy we live with today, and on the other hand, that’s the white colonial capitalist patriarchal norms that trickled down into the home you grew up in as outdated family rules that inflict your inner child wounds."

 
 

Episode Summary:

In this season finale episode, you and I will explore what parenting agility or the hokey pokey of parenting means to our liberatory practices. Together we explore how do we stay in the struggle for liberation and shape the liberated future for our children to grow up in amid climate catastrophe and systemic oppression? How do we keep going without blowing our pain through others or giving in to despair, cynicism, and burnout? How do we keep building the liberated future we want when we only have a vague idea of what that might look like? How do we honor the uncertainty and complexity of our liberatory practice in a culture that demands that we find the single, holy grail, evidence-based solution that comes from a top-down expert?   

Special note: I’m taking a season break and returning for Season 5 in March 2024. Thank you so much.

  • Episodes 31-41 are about the inner healing work so that you can show up with your whole self to both parenting and social justice advocacy.

  • The most important message on inner healing work: it’s not only about you (it’s systemic and intergenerational).
