Tips & Resources For Conscious Parenting Beginners + More On How To Decolonize Your Parenting With Yolanda Williams
In today’s episode, I discuss the best tips and resources for conscious parenting beginners with Yolanda Williams, of the Parenting Decolonized podcast and Conscious Parenting Time. I originally joined Yolanda’s Facebook community, Conscious Parenting For The Culture, when my oldest turned two and I realized the discipline methods we had employed so far were not working.
From the nuggets of wisdom Yolanda and her team drop every day, to the daily thoughtful discussions surrounding conscious and decolonized parenting and the incredibly helpful bite-sized units in the group, I have learned so much and my husband and I have been able to shape a beautiful and respectful relationship with our babies. When I started TRIBE Culture LIFE back in October, Yolanda was one of the first guests I reached out to, so I am super excited to share our discussion this week. Enjoy!

MORE ABOUT MY GUEST
When Yolanda Williams got pregnant with her now toddler, she studied as much as she could about brain development and age appropriate behavior. While much of “positive parenting” focuses on the child’s behavior, Yolanda realized, through her journey, that the most important person to focus on is YOU since that’s the only behavior you can control. That idea, along with the belief that you can successfully parent with empathy, respect, and non-violence, had a huge impact on Yolanda’s conscious parenting philosophy.
Today, Yolanda is a Certified Positive Discipline Coach, the host of the Parenting Decolonized podcast, and founder of Conscious Parenting Time. Yolanda’s mission is to help Black parents unpack how colonization has effected the Black family structure and teach parents how to raise liberated Black children without breaking their spirits.
