Sacred Angela Carolina Garcia and Lauren Stauble

Ready for season 2? As your hosts (Angela Carolina Garcia and Lauren Stauble), we’ll go deeper to clarify what we mean by “intuitive teaching and caregiving relationships." Our guests will include leaders in relational health as well as people working directly with children in different capacities. Most of our guests are also parents and grandparents. With each guest we’ll excavate processes of discernment, especially when it comes to feeling into the difference between impulse and intuition in caregiving relationships.

In this episode we have the honor of hosting our first teachers - the two women whose waters we swam in, who’ve had the highest expectations for each of us, and have relentlessly modeled both strength and vulnerability in different ways throughout our lives: our moms. You’ll get to learn about our origins emotionally, spiritually and philosophically. *Potential trigger alert - corporal punishment did come up. We think it was a pretty low key discussion but wanted to at least let you know it’s in there!*
Lauren’s mom, Bets Parsons grew up in a large family with seven siblings, lots of cousins, huge family gatherings, and this childhood informed her future. She graduated high school in the small town of Granby, MA, and over the years, she married & divorced, graduated college four times (AS management, AS computers, BS business, MS communication), raised one wonderfully beautiful intelligent daughter, provided “auntie-ness” to over 40 niblings, volunteered in many ways most memorably in Girl Scouting for over 20 years, and had a very fulfilling and challenging career in the world of information technology for various large insurance corporations.
Angela’s mom, Ballola Garcia grew up in the borderland of  El Paso, TX. and Juarez, MX. She spent her childhood and young adult life playing in both places. She started her professional life as a business woman and has since received a MA  in early childhood education. She is a first grade teacher, a mother, a wife, a sister, a believer, an aunt, and a friend to many. She spends her days reading and studying, taking care of her babies, and her perritos (puppies).

In this episode we shared space with Areli Porras (aka. Coach Si) and Christian Martinez (aka Poeta Galactico). They took our thinking to new levels. Get ready for a thought provoking journey. Areli is a dynamic and inclusive advocate for families and communities. Christian is an educator and community innovator with a passion for education, media, and fashion. These two along with another colleague founded the Camino Program in East Oakland. This holistic approach to supporting migrant youth is modeling a way to care for the community beyond creating access. It supports migrant youth in finding their path. Their story telling gifts, community building skills, and love for their work has inspired us to reimagine our work.

Our guest for Episode 3 is Latoya Gayle. When we asked her for her bio she decided to answer the question, What brings me to this work? Her answer was, “I’m a Black woman. I’m a mother. I’m a sister. I’m an auntie. I’m a friend. And I think all of that shapes who I am and how I work.” Latoya is also co-founder of March Like a Mother. March Like a Mother was started by Black moms in Boston who seek to leverage the collective, transformative power of motherhood to eradicate systemic racism through grassroots advocacy. Listeners can connect with Latoya on Linkedin.
