Hello and welcome to the Mom Bits Podcast. Today, let's chat about Spring Cleaning our relationships. What I mean by that is essentially auditing our relationships and making sure that we have healthy boundaries in place.
Some of the tips I mention are:

Tip #1: Be direct. Don't dilly dally. Don't sugar coat. Don't make people read between the lines. Be direct about your boundaries.
Tip #2: Engage in self-reflection and self-awareness
Tip #3: Make self-care a priority

Let's talk about it!

Hello and welcome back to the Mom Bits Podcast. Today, we are chatting about Spring Cleaning Our Social Media accounts. It's super important to do a little audit every once in a while to make sure that the content you are putting out there as well as the content that you're consuming, aligns with your morals, core values and beliefs. It can be very easy for our brain to consume information unconsciously so we need to be cognizant of what we are feeding it. Let's talk about it!

Welcome to the Mom Bits Podcast. Let's chat about how to be an Ally and how that differs from performative allyship or performative activism (aka as slacktivism).

**NOTE:  I'm also going off about the 9 year old black LITTLE GIRL in crisis that was pepper sprayed by the police as a means to "deescalate" her. *

--> Black little boys and girls don't get afforded the same innocence as white little boys and girls...especially when they're dealt with by the police and its sickening.

Welcome back to the Mom Bits Podcast. Let's chat today about terms we often hear in the topic of racism and let's get a baseline understanding of what these terms mean.

Terms;

White Privilege; inherent advantages possessed by a white person on the basis of their race in a society characterized by racial inequality and injustice.

Welcome back to the Mom*Bits Podcast. Let's chat today about my experiences "mothering while black". I don't share to gain sympathy but to impress upon you that white privilege in parenting, in motherhood, is a thing. WOC are also mothers of colour who struggle with the same things you do while also manoeuvring racial issues and raising children in a world that is either unaccepting of their skin colour or blind to their skin colour.
