#16 | What Can DMX Teach Us About Inner Child Healing?
04/11/21 • 12 min
Sadly the world lost Earl Simmons, who we all know as DMX.
His powerful music was infused with his past hurts and his actions in life were the expression of the emotional hurt he endured as a child. Yet he always sought out what he didn't have as a child. And he demonstrated a significant amount of self-awareness.
DMX had a lot to teach us about inner child healing and in this episode, we will discuss these and how they are applicable in our lives as parents.

#15 | What Are You Doing to Raise Children Who Are Anti-Racists?
There are a handful of things that make me this ANGRY. These are sexism, oppression, racism, and discrimination.
And let's talk about one of these -- racism.
If you aren't teaching your child how to be anti-racism, I am asking you to start today.
Why? Because kids that are anti-racism will call out the adults that are. They won't put up with it. And this world needs MORE of these. In this episode, I will give you an example of this.
My kid's school had a homework assignment that asked "What are the positives of slavery". To which my kid answered the equivalent of "What?!?"
My kid then showed it to me and said, "What are you going to do about this mami?" My kid wasn't going to just let this slide. He was like, do something.
I've raised my children to do exactly what he did --- to be anti-racists. To take action against hatred, discrimination, racial biases, and the oppression of marginalized groups.
I am asking you to do the same.

#17 | Are You (Subtly) Gaslighting Your Children?
The idea that you might be subtly gaslighting your child can make you feel defensive. I've seen it REALLY trigger parents. And there's a chance listening to this episode might do the same for you.
However, I invite you to listen, because many times the best lessons are learned through the discomfort of realizing that something we have done from love may actually be harmful to our child.
In this episode I discuss:
- What does gaslighting in parenting look like?
- My own personal experience with learning about gaslighting in parenting.
- Why parents find themselves gaslighting their children.
- What to do if you find yourself subtly gaslighting your child.
I'd love to hear your thoughts! Reach out to me at theparentingalchemy.com or find me on Instagram at The Parenting Alchemy.
