And I want to make this episode so you and I can have a real talk about how we can make social justice in parenting a practice that is strategic, satiating, and sustaining. So that you don’t have to feel empty or performative. So that we can keep abolishing policing in our heads, in our homes, and in our neighborhoods together, one interaction at a time. That’s why in this episode, you and I are going to discuss the limitation of this idea of raising kids to be good and explore an alternative which is raising kids to “make good trouble” per John Lewis. --------------------------- Get full show notes and more information at: comebacktocare.com/podcast For more BTS of this podcast, follow @comebacktocare on Instagram!

This episode is our Story Time Series. You’ll hang out with me as I share with you what got me committed to practicing liberation with you and our children and how the Raising Change Agents book came about.

This episode is part two of the previous episode. If you haven’t listened to it, I highly recommend you first check out Ep 79: Power Struggles? Fight For What’s Right, Not Who’s Right. In this episode, you and I are going to explore one idea from child development science and practice one strategy that you can experiment with to meet your child in power struggles without giving up your power and letting your change agents run the household or powering over them and imposing your will over theirs. Let’s use your child’s dissent as a radical care moment to build your child’s discernment muscles. --------------------------- Get full show notes and more information at: comebacktocare.com/podcast For more BTS of this podcast, follow @comebacktocare on Instagram!

In this episode, you and I are going to understand power struggle as a tension between what we want our kids to know to survive and what they need to thrive. Then, we’ll explore a question from the Social Justice Parenting Playbook you can use when you feel a power struggle starting. This question is there to help you decide your next parenting steps. We’ll revisit concepts like adult supremacy and reciprocity in child development science too. --------------------------- Get full show notes and more information at: comebacktocare.com/podcast For more BTS of this podcast, follow @comebacktocare on Instagram!

To help us get organized and strategic, in this episode, you and I are going to explore how movements in the past won -- from the American Civil Rights movement to global nonviolence movements. Then, we’re going to use abolitionist organizing as a framework to help us sustain the spark and organize our advocacy. We’re going to be strategic about how to practice these skills too (hint: we practice them in everyday parenting to strengthen our social justice action muscles and our children’s development at the same time). --------------------------- Get full show notes and more information at: comebacktocare.com/podcast For more BTS of this podcast, follow @comebacktocare on Instagram!

In this episode, you and I are going to explore how we teach children to tolerate stress and sit with discomfort (and one thing our culture misses about how to do this). Then, you’re going to reflect on your patterns when you witness your child struggling. Once you know your pattern, we’ll unpack one action that you can experiment with today. You’ll also hear an excerpt from the book Raising Change Agents: Practicing Social Justice in Everyday Parenting too. --------------------------- Get full show notes and more information at: comebacktocare.com/podcast For more BTS of this podcast, follow @comebacktocare on Instagram!

In this episode, I’d love to invite you to change care to be radical by changing how we look at our children and therefore changing the way we raise them. You and I are going to explore what it takes for our children to survive and thrive. Then we’ll explore what it means to raise them to become change agents- not just quote unquote successful, or kind, or compassionate, or conscious? And lastly, how are we going to go beyond protecting our children by shielding them from reality to effectively preparing them for this reality? --------------------------- Get full show notes and more information at: comebacktocare.com/podcast For more BTS of this podcast, follow @comebacktocare on Instagram!

Before you set intentions for 2026, may I invite you to review one thing in 2025 first? So that you can begin 2026 with a lot of compassion that will ignite and sustain both your social justice parenting in your home and social justice advocacy in your neighborhood. In this episode, you and I are going to review moments when we made mistakes to see what those moments reveal about our tenacity, our sass, and our sovereignty. --------------------------- Get full show notes and more information at: comebacktocare.com/podcast For more BTS of this podcast, follow @comebacktocare on Instagram!

In this episode, you’ll hear two excerpts from the Raising Change Agents: Practicing Social Justice In Everyday Parenting book. One excerpt is for the part of you that’s been feeling frozen in inaction and overwhelmed by injustices this year. The other excerpt is a loving invitation for you to remember how far you’ve come and remember who you are.  There’s nothing for you to do, to plan, or to fix. If this story time feels generative to you, let’s get started. --------------------------- Get full show notes and more information at: comebacktocare.com/podcast For more BTS of this podcast, follow @comebacktocare on Instagram!

In this episode, you and I are going to experiment with two actions to metabolize our rage so we can get to a headspace and heart space to practice genuine (not performative) gratitude as a family.
