Triggered AF

Expect chills when listening to this episode with sociologist, author, strategist, and changemaker, Dr. Janice Johnson Dias. Speaking about intentional parenting in a world not built intentionally for your child, Dr. Janice discusses the detriment of colorblind parenting and how to create an environment for children to thrive using adversity as a tool. Tune in as she shares how majority culture has framed parenting and explains why if you want a great kid, you're going to have to be a great human first.

KEY POINTS:

- Who is Dr. Janice Johnson Dias, according to her?

- What is parenting and its universal understandings?

- The top three foundational principles to instill in our children

- Why "do as I say not as I do" parenting is a thing of the past

- Utilizing age-appropriate honesty

- Are there dangers in oversharing with your children?

- Raising black children in white spaces

- How parenting is framed by structural conditions

QUOTABLES:

"We must recognize that parenting is a reflection of ourselves and that we must first attend to things about ourselves if we are going to be modestly successful in parenting. Parenting is about the child, yes, but it's far more about us."

A lot of us like to point the finger and say that everybody else is the problem, but we very rarely talk about when we're toxic and when we're the villain in someone else's story. So how can we better paint the whole picture, have those uncomfortable conversations, and show up in a way that does not hurt the ones we love?

Tune in as Alechia and Dani share their own less than favorable traits and how to work through villain to victim to powerhouse who shows up in the world with truly good intentions.

KEY POINTS:

- Nobody wants to be the villain - so where are they?

- What are your toxic traits?

- How to exercise the apology muscle

- When did we forget grace and compassion?

- The value of remembering when you were the villain

- Choosing the right thing, even when it's uncomfortable

- Who do you want to be? How do you want to show up?

QUOTABLES:

"Victims sometimes forget when they were the villain."

"Understand to every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. Whether you're being a villain or not a villain, you're being a safe place or an unsafe place, it goes back to the decisions that you make about how do you want to feel? And then how do you want others to feel when you walk out of a room?"

Tune in as Yuliya and your hosts discuss the pressure to look perfect, when they felt the most and the least beautiful, and why beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. As Yuliya explains, if your inside doesn't feel beautiful, worthy, or confident, no matter how many times you go under the knife or make changes, it's not going to change how you feel.

Don't miss this sincere dialogue on the truth behind beauty, influencers, and what we can do to stop the perpetuation of unrealistic, unattainable, and downright bizarre beauty standards flooding social media today. #filterfree

"I've seen so many beautiful women who are empty. So beautiful physically, but they're so empty and it's so sad."
