Hello everyone! Welcome to another episode of Voices of Your Village! Today on episode 136 I am joined by Rosalia Rivera to talk about consent parenting. What does it look like to parent from a place of consent? To teach our tiny humans from infancy what consent looks like, what it feels like, and how to advocate for it. This is a topic that is very dear to my heart and I am so jazzed that I got to hangout with Rosalia and chat about it with her. I have been following her on instagram and learning from her constantly. In this conversation we got to talk about tough things like when your kid has to get in their carseat, when we need them to do something and what that looks like when coming...

Happy Podcast Thursday! Welcome to episode 134 of Voices of Your Village. Today we are hanging out with Amber O’Neal Johnson, who runs the Heritage Mom Blog, and we are diving into homeschooling. When I was researching this topic to find the best guest to bring on to the pod for you villagers, I just fell in love with Amber’s content and her approach to homeschooling. I am so jazzed to bring her into your ears today! Let’s dive in!

“We had a beautiful, beautiful year of school.”

Amber has four kids and she has been homeschooling them from the beginning. She was led to homeschooling by her husband and was reluctant at first, but then quickly fell in love with it and has been doing ...

Hey, everyone! Welcome back to Voices of Your Village. Today on episode 132 I am joined by the wonderful Xavier Dagba to talk about all things boundary setting between adults. Xavier is a transformational life coach and father. He is so eager about helping others, which is what led him to his field of work and ultimately led me to connecting with him. I was so thrilled when Xavier agreed to come have an on-mic chat with me and I think you will be just as jazzed to listen as I was to record this one! Y'all this is a good one, I felt like I could talk to Xavier forever. So, without further ado, let’s dive on in!

“If you are in this community it means you want better for your kids, and w...

Hi, everybody! Welcome to another episode of Voices of Your Village. Today on Episode 131 we are diving into fertility and hormones and vaginas, oh my! I learned so much from Lisa Hendrickson-Jack, author of The Fifth Vital Sign: Master Your Cycles & Optimize Your Fertility. Her book is so fascinating and definitely not what I grew up learning about my body. For me it has played such a huge role in my fertility journey.  

We wound up finding out that my body was really low in progesterone and that was most likely leading to my early miscarriages. You may have seen over on social media that I am pregnant again, and this happened from one month of supporting my progesterone production. One...

Hey, everyone! Welcome to episode 129 of Voices of Your Village! A mama posted into our Facebook group asking about the Enneagram and there was this fun thread going on, when another mom popped into the thread to say she worked with the Enneagram. So, I asked her to come on and join me for a podcast episode because the Enneagram test is something I am so new to, but fascinated by. I think of it as one of those personality tests, but it is the most accurate thing I have found. We use it for Seed, everyone who joins my team takes the test so I have a better idea of how to best show up in relationship with them.

In this episode, we are diving into how the Enneagram can show up in your partn...

Over on Instagram, y'all said that you were interested in hearing more about my personal reparenting journey and what doing the work looks like for me. So, in today’s episode, I will be sharing the specific reparenting work I have been doing. I want to start by giving you a content warning. In this episode, I will be talking about my rape and my miscarriages. So, if you are not in a place to hear about those things right now, this is not the episode for you.

“What we know about trauma is that someone can experience the same thing as someone else and for one human it might be traumatic and for the other human it is not.”

 A little bit of backstory here. When I was 14 years old I wa...

Hey, Villagers! Today we get to have a raw conversation with the gal who leads the world of Raw, from Raw Beauty Talks we have Erin Treloar! She is hanging out with us to chat about the relationships we have with our bodies, and how that relationship changes as women experience motherhood.

Erin is the founder of Raw Beauty Co, which exists to support women in feeling confident and calm and connected to their body. She is a health coach by trade and has had a long journey with her own body in coming to a place of self love.

Welcome back to Voices of Your Village, today in episode 124 we are graced with the presence of Jasmine Bradshaw to discuss raising anti-racist children. Jasmine is the host of the First Name Basis podcast. She is a mama, and she is a beautiful teacher. Jasmine is someone who I have really loved learning from on this journey. Her podcast teaches parents how to talk to children about things like white privilege, anti-racism, and cultural appropriation.

I am really grateful for the resources she provides and that she was willing to share her time to support our village on how to raise anti-racist children. We have a lot of work to do on this journey and I look forward to having you alo...

Happy Podcast Day to you, my wonderful villagers! Wow, I am feeling so grateful to have gotten to share 120 episodes of Voices of Your Village with you all and I cannot wait to record 120 more!

Today I am joined by Bryce Reddy, who you may know as @MomBrain.Therapist on Instagram and Facebook, for this year’s Mother’s Day episode so we could really dive deep into the realities of self care in parenthood.

“The human condition is for all of us.”

Bryce and I agreed that the marketing of self care for parents can tend to be kind of wonky or misguided, and the reality is that we all need the proper self care in order to show up in this world as the best version of ourselves. “I ...
