Raising Mixed-Race Kids: Navigating Race, Identity, and Parenting
In this episode of the "Open Door Podcast," Chelsie and Bedford dive deep into their personal goals for 2025, including business, family income growth, travel, and health. We reflect on the burnout of past years and the challenges of maintaining motivation through injuries. We share our "YOLO" approach to life, embracing experiences and making memories with their family.
We also explore personal anecdotes, like our journey through parenting their mixed-race children, and the ongoing challenge of navigating race in our family. Chelsie reflects on her past work teaching about race, inclusion, and diversity, and they begin discussing how to talk to children about these important topics. The conversation also touches on their experiences living in Utah, often as the only people of color, and the awkwardness of racial dynamics in social settings. They emphasize how conversations about race are necessary to challenge stereotypes and foster understanding, especially for the next generation.
