Decolonized Motherhood Podcast

The Decolonized Motherhood Podcast is where motherhood meets social justice. Each episode provides the audience with a new opportunity to (un-)learn, reflect and grow among themes which influences and affect motherhood and parenting in general. The primary goal of this podcast is to support those who identify as mothers to achieve a sense of liberation by dismantling oppressive systems which affect our motherhood journeys. This is a community effort, therefore this podcast is not just for mothers.

As parents, we have the immense power to influence the future with how we raise our children. In order to raise incredible people, we need to do the challenging work ourselves of healing and prioritizing our well-being.

The Vida With Christie podcast gave Christie an opportunity to share her experience as a first-time mother while influencing parents to live their best lives while raising aware and empowered children.

From episode 1-44 you will find references to the Vida With Christie Podcast. These episodes are incredibly special to Christie as this work led her and inspired her to pursue her graduate degree in Social Justice Education and academic research.
