This episode is near and dear to my soul, as I share with you my remembering of some very hard and painful truths and experiences during my primitive school years.

What prompted this self inquiry around this solo episode was some books my husband and I recently purchased by John Taylor Gatto -links to his books below. John a former New York School teacher for 30 years, books activated a lot of emotional responses and deep painful remembering for me. Both his books made sense too much of the madness and frustration I have felt over the years around my schooling and experiences. Ultimately leading to the beautiful choose to unschool / homeschool/ be together as a family full time I guess you could say for our children!

Let me know what you think of this episode!

Blessings,

Victoria

The Noble Mother

https://thenoblemother.com/

In this episode I connect with Andrea Haskins & Dana Mckie from Radical Moms Union! We talk about the predatory practices being used by a certain formula company called Bobbie, we connect around breastfeeding, the current culture in mothering and so much more!

Andrea Haskins: Mom of two and breastfeeding peer counselor and lactation counselor (certified with Childbirth International) with a focus on mother-baby-led intuitive parenting. I believe parents have been led astray by the modern medical-industrial system and the multitude of opinions and information available and have dampened the ability to mother biologically and instinctually.

Radical Moms Union: I’m part of a growing, online movement of radical mothers who are fighting to hold corporations accountable for their predatory marketing aimed at vulnerable moms. That includes infant formula companies, the sleep training industry, and any other consumer goods that try to separate mother and baby. We’re called the Radical Moms Union.

This is a powerful episode that should be shared with all the mothers. May our intentions and words protect the safety for all mothers, babies, breastfeeding.
