What if the key to raising well-adjusted, connected children lies in the practices of our ancestors? 

Join us as we explore the evolved nest with Darcia Narvaez, diving into the fascinating world of natural birth, mothering, and the importance of soothing perinatal experiences. Through stories of our own births and parenting experiences, we'll uncover the consequences of our modern, medicalized birth systems and the need for a supportive, nurturing environment.

In this conversation, we'll discuss the benefits of breastfeeding and the role of fathers in the nurturing process. We'll also examine the societal impact and persuasive tactics of formula companies, as well as the importance of touch in helping children and adults feel secure and calm. Discover how skin-to-skin contact and positive touch can be linked to our body's major systems, helping us learn to breathe properly and connect with one another.

As we delve into the world of responsive relationships and Allo parenting, we'll explore ancient cultures and how we can incorporate their wisdom into our lives today. We'll discuss the importance of community and nature immersion and how building connections in diverse settings can enrich our moral development.

By understanding the evolved nest, we can create a supportive environment for our children to thrive and foster a more connected, empathetic society.
