How do we imagine a future where discipline and nonviolence seamlessly coexist? In this week's episode we discuss a more compassionate, radically empathetic and neurodevelopmentally-informed approach to parenting and raising children.

Education expert and former teacher Joy Marilie joins us this week for an all Black-women conversation as we talk about the gentle parenting movement and how we can create safer practices and spaces for our children to learn and grow. Joy Marilie Jackson is a former teacher and school leader with over 20 years of experience in early childhood and elementary education. She now works as an education consultant in NYC schools and non-profit organizations, and as a Conscious parenting coach, as she homeschools her 5-year-old using the Montessori Method.
