Happy Mama Holidays!

The Mama's Den

12/12/22 • 37 min

Tis the season for all the things: events, gifts🎁, holiday parties, colds (we miss you Melanie!), and trying to stay on top of everything that still needs to get done. Our Mamas recap Felicia's amazing Merry and Mindful event, and why we have a tendency to sell ourselves short even though we have no reason to do so. Plus, Felicia, Codie and Ashley share their current Christmas traditions. Apparently we're all missing out on Elf on the Shelf, 🎄fake trees are better than real trees🎄, and 3 gifts is what we should be maxing out on for our kids.

ALSO make sure you listen to the end so you don't miss a special announcement from our Mamas!

Mamas! Aunties! Village!🎅🏿 What are your holiday plans looking like? Were you a Kwanzaa kid like Ashley? Let us know over at @themamasdenpodcast or send us an email at podcasts@blacklove.com

A friendly conversation about Ashley's home makeover quickly turns into how does one go about protecting the home? More importantly would any of the ladies get a gun? It's a question that is heated, genuine, and touches on not only the necessity for some, but the real fears, and the situations that have had the ladies think twice about their opinions. This is a conversation that goes there, and we definitely want to hear from you all afterwards!

Alright Mama's Den community what do you do to keep your home safe? Would you get a gun? Let us know over at @themamasdenpodcast or send us an email at podcasts@blacklove.com

Your Child Asked WHAT?

The Mama's Den

04/04/22 • 43 min

Sometimes kids ASK the darndest things. What is the line that Mamas need to take with having those difficult conversations with their kids? Hint: There is no consensus here. From anatomy to periods, to Santa Claus, and even death, we all need to find the best way to explain the tough topics to our kids. In this episode, the Mamas each share their philosophies and the stories that helped get them there.

Do You Talk to Your Kids About Racism?

The Mama's Den

05/23/22 • 31 min

How do you talk to your kids about racism? There's no one answer, and every conversation is different. In this episode, the Mamas share whether they have discussed the White supremacist mass shooting in Buffalo with their children. Plus, what are the expectations of schools to educate our kids around not only this event, but around racism as a whole? This is a conversation that everyone needs to hear as the Mamas get real about the challenges they have faced while trying to protect and educate their kids.

Have you talked to your kids about racism? Let the Mamas know!
