Transforming Your Authoritarian Roots - Leslie Arreola-Hillenbrand

Our parenting styles are strongly influenced by both how we were parented and current societal norms. However, what if how we have learned to parent doesn’t feel right? What if we believe our children deserve more? In this conversation, I talk to Leslie Priscilla Arreola-Hillenbrand about her experience growing up in an authoritarian culture and how she has looked to the history of her ancestry to change the future.

Takeaways:

1. We all bring different cultural parenting habits and patterns.
2. An essential step to liberation for you and your kids is re-mothering yourself.
3. Oppression begins in the home. Are we teaching our kids to use their voices?
