In this season finale episode, you and I will explore what parenting agility or the hokey pokey of parenting means to our liberatory practices. Together we explore how do we stay in the struggle for liberation and shape the liberated future for our children to grow up in amid climate catastrophe and systemic oppression? How do we keep going without blowing our pain through others or giving in to despair, cynicism, and burnout? How do we keep building the liberated future we want when we only have a vague idea of what that might look like? How do we honor the uncertainty and complexity of our liberatory practice in a culture that demands that we find the single, holy grail, evidence-based solution that comes from a top-down expert?   Special note: I’m taking a season break and returning for Season 5 in March 2024.
