mother day

Good day everyone, and welcome to this special episode of our podcast. Today, we celebrate one of the most important people in our lives - our moms!

Moms are some of the most incredible human beings on this planet. They are our teachers, our protectors, our confidants, and our friends. They are the ones who bring us into this world, nurture us, and help us grow into the people we are today.

When we think of our moms, many of us probably have countless memories that come flooding back. From the sleepless nights when we were newborns to the countless hours spent helping us with our homework, our moms have been there every step of the way.

One of the things that makes moms so special is their unconditional love. No matter what we do or say, they always love us. They never judge us, they never give up on us, and they never stop believing in us. Even when we make mistakes - and we all make mistakes - our moms are always there to pick us up, dust us off, and help us get back on track.

Moms are also some of the strongest people we know. They juggle countless responsibilities every day, from work to household chores to taking care of us and our siblings. They do all of this with grace and without complaint, even when they are tired, stressed, or overwhelmed.

But being a mom is not just about the hard work and sacrifice. It's also about the joy and the laughter. Moms have a way of making even the toughest days feel a little brighter. They have a unique ability to see the best in us, even when we can't see it ourselves. And they have a knack for making us feel loved, appreciated, and valued.

So, to all the moms out there listening to this podcast, I want to say thank you. Thank you for everything you do, every day. Thank you for your love, your strength, and your unwavering support. You are amazing, and we are so lucky to have you in our lives.

And to everyone listening, I want to encourage you to take a moment today to appreciate your mom. Whether she is with you or not, whether you have a great relationship or a complicated one, take a moment to thank her for all that she has done for you. Let her know how much she means to you, and how much you love her.

In closing, I want to say that moms truly are some of the most incredible people in our lives. They are the ones who shape us, guide us, and love us unconditionally. So, let's all take a moment today to celebrate our moms, and to say thank you for all that they do. Thank you for listening, and happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!

We’re interrupting our Deschooling Release Party flow to focus on the energy of Mother’s Day. In this episode, Akilah and Aja will talk about the four mothers whose new are coming to join Fare of the Free Child on Raising Free People Network: Val Sinclair, Katrina Monique, Lou Hollis, and Aja herself.

Aja chats with us about her relationship with motherhood and how it can impact our leadership and relationships. Her podcast, She Said, We Shed is a journey of discovery throughout the dynamics of what mothering can mean, and how types of mothering vary drastically, including the reality of Black Mama Trauma. We also introduce Plant It Up, a podcast where Val, Akilah’s mom, shares how the practices and dynamics of taking care of plants can be related to our own ways of interacting and connecting with the people around us. These stories are related to self-care and liberation work, a set of topics that lead us toward better understandings of human relationships. 

One of the other mamas is Katrina, whose podcast, How She Got Free, is inspired by a book that she and Akilah wrote together. Her podcast is designed to show us the benefits of sometimes speaking out from wounded spaces, it can be part of how we generate healing for ourselves and invite others to acknowledge and name their own healing needs too.

How to be empowered when you don’t feel like yourself, to make a pause in your life and manage it after an altering shift? With “Grief, Growth, and Goals” the fifth podcast on the Raising Free People Network, Lou shares her experience after making massive changes in her life, the process of healing through self talk and embracing her vulnerability. 

Liberation and deschooling are inextricably linked, as the result of a joint work, based on experiences that had shaped ourselves and others in order to contribute on a healing and self awareness process and to continue on this journey we invite you to subscribe to all five podcasts on Raising Free People Network.
