    Coming Home to Ourselves: Cyclical Living, Healing & Womanhood

    What if understanding our bodies could change the way we care for ourselves and one another? In this episode of Liberated Learning Conversations, Dahlia sits down with Ashley Rivera, creator of Normalize the Woo, to explore cyclical living, menstrual education, self-discovery, and the importance of reconnecting with our bodies. Ashley shares her journey from navigating motherhood and personal challenges to discovering community, somatic practices, and a deeper understanding of her menstrual cycle. Together, they explore how shame and misinformation can shape our relationships with our bodies, why menstrual education matters for young people, and how honoring our needs for rest, support, and connection can influence our families and communities. In this conversation: Reconnecting with ourselves through journaling, reflection, and communityUnderstanding the menstrual cycle through the metaphor of the four seasonsRethinking how we introduce menstruation to young peopleCommunicating our needs and modeling self-care for our childrenBreaking generational patterns of shame and silenceThis conversation shares personal experiences and perspectives for educational purposes and is not a substitute for individualized medical advice.

    A Different Seat at the Table: Life, Learning, & Liberation After the Classroom

    What happens when you leave the classroom, but the educator in you never really leaves? In this conversation, Dahlia Quintanilla sits down with former educator and Acre Minds founder Amanda Zubia to reflect on the experiences that shaped them as teachers, the challenges that led them to rethink their place in education, and the different ways they continue to support students, families, and educators outside of the traditional classroom. Together, they explore teacher burnout, the pressures of testing, the importance of creating spaces where students feel safe and seen, and what it can look like to reconnect with ourselves through movement, nature, breath, and community. At the heart of the conversation is a reminder that leaving the classroom doesn't always mean leaving education. Sometimes, it simply means finding a different seat at the table.
