On this episode, Travis talks with parenting educator and coach, Ed Center. Ed is the founder of Village Well - a parenting platform and community hub that provides education and guidance on culturally grounded, positive parenting skills. Through this platform, he teaches parents and caregivers how to end intergenerational trauma and decolonize parenting by nurturing the parent-child relationship and being intentional about the ancestral wisdom utilized to raise kids in today's world. Topics discussed include: the effort required to perform cultural translations, the rules of boyhood that are clear to some but not all, evolving definitions of masculine leadership, different forms of social capital, the purpose of tension in relationships, the wisdom and wounds from our families of origin, the inner work required to be a good parenting, conscious parenting education, and calling in community to help raise children.
