Because the future must be built on care.

Ai-jen Poo is a quiet, but compassionate revolutionary voice—an organizer, advocate, and visionary who has spent decades uplifting the workers too often forgotten: the caregivers, nannies, housekeepers, and home care providers who hold our world together.

As the President of the National Domestic Workers Alliance and Executive Director of Caring Across Generations, Ai-jen has fought to …

(Let’s start at the roots…)

Body-wise parenting is the name I’ve chosen to describe a specific style of parenting—one rooted in respect for the body, trust in its wisdom, and the belief that every child is already whole.

It’s a gentle, grounded approach that honors your child’s entire being—not just their behavior, but their body, their needs, and their natural rhythms.

It’s parenting that makes space for…

Scholar. Revolutionary. Truth-teller. Vision keeper.

Angela Davis (81), has spent her life fighting for a world where freedom is not biased and where justice isn’t just an idea, but an embodied truth for everyone.

She gained global recognition in the 1960s and 70s as a fearless advocate for Black liberation, prison abolition, and systemic change. As a former political prisoner, she became a symbol of resistance and hope—reminding the world that speaking truth to power often comes with a price, but that silence has its own cost, too.

Listening: Conscious Relating Isn’t Compliance

Let’s talk about listening

REALLY listening

What it does

(and does not) mean in our relationships.

I’ve received countless open-mouthed kisses from my babies.

Slobbery, giggly, snotty, love-drunk kisses—

offered with absolute delight and unfiltered joy.

And you know what? I’ve received every single one with gratitude.

Because I refuse to let the scowls or sideways glances from others

convince me that something so innocent, so pure, is “inappropriate.”

We’ve been taught to correct behavior.

To label it as “good” or “bad.”

To discipline the outbursts, reward the obedience, and manage the meltdowns.

But here’s what body-wise parenting reminds us:

Behavior is communication.

It’s the body speaking when words can’t.

The woman who changed the landscape so more of us could be heard.

Tarana Burke began her work not in the spotlight, but in the quiet corners of community—where real healing happens. Long before #MeToo became a viral movement, Tarana was walking alongside survivors, creating space for voices that had long been silenced, and reminding us all that our stories matter.

The world is heavy right now.

Fear is loud.

Anger is rising.

Sadness lingers.

And hatred—often rooted in misinformation—is spreading like wildfire.

But in the midst of all of it, I believe in love.

Celebrating Wins, Even When They Are Small

In advocacy, the road is long.

And it’s easy to feel like our voices disappear into the wind.

Like nothing is shifting fast enough.

Like justice is too far away.

But here’s the truth:

Every win counts. Every ripple matters.

Let’s begin here:

Autism is not a disease.

It is not a tragedy.

It is not something to prevent, fix, or fear.

It is a natural expression of human diversity.

Why “Normal” Isn’t Always Healthy

(Body-Wise Parenting asks deeper questions)

Just because something is normal…

doesn’t mean it’s healthy.

To our friends outside the U.S.—thank you.

Thank you for your patience.

For your compassion.

For bearing witness as we navigate this painful chapter in our country’s story.

We know the decisions made here echo far beyond our borders.

That what happens in America—whether by law, tweet, or tantrum—can stir ripples across oceans, economies, and hearts.

🔥Fear is a potent force. 🔥

And history shows us how deeply it has been used to control.

Whether we’re talking about the violence of religious conquest, the torture of women labeled as witches, or the way modern institutions perpetuate terror through legislation, language, and media—fear is the oldest tactic in the book.

From a nervous system perspective, it makes sense.

Boundaries Are Advocacy.

Your activism does not have to be martyrdom.

You don’t have to burn at both ends to prove your care.

You don’t have to let every conversation pull you into exhaustion.

Your nervous system matters.

Your peace matters.

There’s a quiet magic unfolding every day,

whether we notice it or not.

The sun—radiant, unwavering—touches the leaves,

and in that touch, something miraculous begins.

While the Catholic Church holds a long and complex history, today we pause not for legacy—but for impact.

Pope Francis has stood as a global voice willing to speak what so many with power will not:

That immigrants deserve dignity, not dehumanization.

That our Earth is not disposable, and neither are the lives most affected by its destruction.

That silence in the face of injustice is not neutrality—it is complicity.

Let me say this plainly:

I don’t believe in competition when it comes to passion.

Not in advocacy.

Not in healing.

Not in arts.

Not in spirit-led business.

Not in love.
