In today's episode, I discuss feminist parenting and gender roles with Catherine Bailey. As a former lawyer and policy advocate, Catherine's expertise in cultural and societal expectations led to the founding of her company, Think or Blue. Through her work as a Certified Fair Play Facilitator, Catherine helps parents and caregivers break free from outdated gender norms, feel more supported in parenthood, and raise children who are happy to be themselves.Our discussion focuses on bringing gender equity to the home and the importance of relearning gender roles to create a more inclusive and equitable society for future generations. Key topics highlighted in this episode include:Exploration of common stereotypes and biases around genderMindset shifts to make our households more equitableRelearning gender roles and societal expectations imposed on genders (especially women!)Closing the chore gap between gendersThe impact of moving from delegation to ownershipRaising children outside of gender biasThe importance of prioritizing time for yourself as a spouse or parentIf you want to learn more about Catherine Bailey and Think or Blue, I invite you to visit her website. GUEST INFO:Catherine Bailey, Feminist Parenting Resources Website: Think or BlueInstagram: @thinkorblueFacebook: Think or BlueTikTok: Think or BlueFEATURED ON THE SHOW:Come say hello on Instagram Follow me on Facebook See what I'm up to on LinkedIn Join my community at https://www.apleasantsolution.com/ LIKE THIS EPISODE?I invite you to share, rate, review and follow my show.

In the second episode of Being a Present Parent, our speakers Tena and Gauri reflect on the trends, surprises and lessons learnt from a year of circles and workshops on topics such as sex and post-partum, trauma and vocabulary, birth and autonomy, and medical science's approach to obstetrics and gynaecology while they share personal stories and insights. The Series: Parenting can be one of those challenges in life that never has any right answers. How do you enable another person to live up to their full potential in a healthy way while being mindful of their individuality and personality as well as taking care of yourself? Some have called it the ultimate crash course in adulting. A large number of us have come to understand equity, equality and feminism later in life and are finding ways to live them now, including in the way we speak and work with our children. What does feminist parenting look like? We seek answers in this three-part podcast series of BIC Talks. In this mini-series, we have Educator and Head of CSR, DXC India, Gauri Bhure Roy, and Tena Pick, Social Impact Consultant and Founder of Project Kal, taking us through the journey of feminist parenting.

We loved connecting with Rachel of the 3 in 30 podcast about supporting our older siblings when a new baby comes into the family!From Rachel's show notes:For all you mamas of one out there, what do you envision when you imagine adding a second baby to your family? And for all of your mamas of multiple out there, what do you remember about adding a second baby to your family? My guests on the podcast today are Hannah and Kelty, the twin sisters and founders of the parenting movement Upbringing.They said this to me and it resonated so deeply that I just had to write it down. Kelty said: “I thought [adding another baby] would mean more love, more snuggles, more squidgy little feet, more laughter, more connection. And it definitely did add all of that! But I didn't realize all the other more things that would happen. More crying, more anxiety, more stress, more messes, more juggling, and more divide and conquer existence with my partner…” Doesn't that sound about right?Adding a new baby to your family, whether it's your first baby or your fifth, always comes with a lot of emotions and change--all the highs and lows! And that is why today's guests Hannah and Kelty are so passionate about helping families to ease this transition and why they have created an online course called Right From the Start, which supports parents during the first year of a baby's life.Our Right From The Start baby video course and community is now OPEN for enrollment!

Tune in for our interview with Cindy Wang Brandt of the Parenting Forward Podcast and parenting community!In this episode we talked about: How Upbringing came to be. Why we should talk about kids on a spectrum of diversity that's related to their sensitivity and spiritedness. What sensitivity and spiritedness mean. Why we need to accept our kids exactly as they are. How to simultaneously self-regulate and teach your children how to regulate themselves. How to navigate your resentment towards your kids' freedom. How to teach your kids to be fully themselves in a world with social constructs. Why your most important job as a parent is to teach your kids self-awareness. Why we need to redefine safety as former people-pleasers. What consent-based parenting is and how to practice it. Why parenting isn't about perfection but repairing connecting. The Parenting Forward podcast features interviews with thought leaders from progressive faith and non-faith spaces, resources to create better practices in parenting and life with children. They believe parenting is revolutionary, that if we change the way we parent, we can change the world.

Content Warning: This episode briefly addresses sexual assault from minutes 23:00-25:00. We continue a period on the Jewish calendar called the Omer — the 49 days between Passover and Shavuot that our tradition observes through a practice of counting, day by day, week by week. We imbue these days with meaning by assigning a different theme to each week that encourages self-reflection and self-improvement for the betterment of the whole community. In that spirit, we’re doing a series of interviews featuring people who have made their life’s work an extension of their lives’ purpose.Two weeks ago, we began with chesed, “kindness” with guest Rena Rosen. Last week, we dove into the second theme of the Omer, gevurah, discipline or strength, with two very special guests: Mark Achler and Harry Gottlieb. And this week, for week three, we have Jo-Ann Finkelstein on the show to talk about gender, psychology, her work creating The Feminist Parent, an online resource for equity-oriented parenting, and more. We also discuss the third theme of the Omer, tiferet, or integration or balance.Links referenced in the show:The Feminist Parent WebsiteThe Feminist Parent InstagramJo-Ann's TwitterJo-Ann's Psychology Today ProfileJo-Ann's Medium Profile The NYT article: It’s OK to Watch 'Schitt’s Creek’ With Your KidsBe sure to subscribe, rate the show and leave a review.
