Unparenting

Hello friends!

I’m excited to start another series of podcast conversations, focused on bringing you ideas and experiences of others who have chosen to challenge norms and assumptions around what it means to raise children, to mother and to live in ways that centre autonomy, consent and collective liberation.

In this episode, I chat to Sara Sadek.

I connected with Sara on Substack and have loved her writing ever since. It is powerful and absolutely necessary for this time.

In this podcast episode, we talk about building community with a sense of shared values and purpose, what it means to radicalize ourselves as mothers and humans, and how to share our values with our children while honoring their autonomy.

More about Sara below:

Sara Sadek (she/her) is a mother, writer, educator and community builder living on the Ohlone land of San Francisco with her partner, two kids, and their very cuddly dog.

Shaped by her experiences as a mother and first-generation immigrant, her work serves as a radical re-imagining of the world we want to live in: one that reconnects us to ourselves, each other, and this planet in our quest for collective liberation.

You can find Sara's writing at Radical Matriarch, follow on instagram @radicalmatriarch, and find her upcoming course offerings at rearinghumans.com.

Please bear in mind I do not edit the transcript at all, and so you may not get an accurate transcription of our conversation.

I hope you enjoy this episode!
