16 MAR. 2023 · In our final episode of season 1 we were joined by Racquel Washington, a reproductive justice birth worker, pre-homesteader, herbalist, and mama. Mama Nika and Racquel covered a lot of ground discussing the role of the village for parents (especially solo parents), children, partners, and every generation. Racquel mentions the book, The Spirit of Intimacy: Ancient Teachings in the Ways of Relationships by Sobonfu Some. It's one of our favorites and we highly recommend if you relate to anyone or anything! In this episode we cultivated the energy of "Calling in the Village" as we dialogued ourselves into realization that the ways that we relate to each other have to be remembered just as the ways that we relate to the Earth that sustains us. We are calling in that memory and those practices of devotion to relating.
If you are interested to connect further with Racquel you can find her and her work at https://www.queenscollectivebirthing.com/ where she shares her work with birth and death. You can follow along with her journey on IG @_thequeenscollectivebirthing.
Last thing to note: at the start of the episode Mama Nika noted that this was the final episode and we want to specify that this is the FINAL EPISODE OF SEASON 1. We will be back!!! Until then, please stay connected with us at https://www.thetribecoop.com/ and follow us @thetribelearningcoop on IG to get updates on events and offerings.
Learn and be well.
8 MAR. 2023 · Mama Kaiya and Mama Nika have a few things to say in response to a newish ABC show, The Parent Test, that chronicles 12 different families navigating curated challenges through 12 different parenting styles. While the show is centered around a competition aimed at finding the BEST parenting style, this conversation is brought to the Tribe in order to provide social commentary that is contextualized in history,race, class, and dreams for the future. This episode is not only a response to the show, but also a response to Tribe members who have brought this show and its concept to our attention. This conversation is just a start and there is much MUCH more to say. The quality of the audio for this episode is a bit glitchy and still the message rings loudly and clearly. Let us know what came up for you around this conversation and feel free to share if there is any particular parenting style that resonates with you and your family at this time and why!

We hope you enjoy!
22 FEB. 2023 · Mama Nika shares a trusted and true pleasure practice for deepening connection, facilitating healing, and remembering your birthright of being well anytime, at every stage and age. Sometimes we wait for the perfect circumstances, like a ton of free time, extra spending money, an hour-long movement practice, a trending diet or cleanse to access our wellness when really we have everything we need in every single moment to be well. We are only as well as every little cell in our bodies and we have the power to manipulate the frequency of our cells with simple medicine...namely, our voices, our thoughts, our bodies, and our breath. Mama Nika shares a beloved medicine song at 21:36 to add to your song list. At the end of the episode starting at 24:43, she shares a guided meditation for https://www.moonmamamagik.com/contact. Enjoy and be well, now!
15 FEB. 2023 · Hey there, we decided to try something new this episode!
Mama Kaiya reads a children's bedtime story featuring animal sounds that are sure to capture your child's attention right before slumber.
Take a listen as she reads "Hush a Thai Lullaby" by Mingfong Ho.
Let us know what you think!
8 FEB. 2023 · It deserves to be said that perfect is not the same as perfectionism. "Perfect" can be a repeatedly-attainable outcome in situations that have little nuance and meet certain specifications. Think about a puzzle and how every piece fits in exactly one correct spot in order to recreate the image.
Connecting a piece to another might have us considering this a perfect fit. It almost seems impossible, though, to keep this same line of logic flowing when considering something as nuanced as human behavior and how perfectionism impacts our actions or inactions. Even if our brains can understand that something being "perfect" is relative, we somehow still may end up trying to meet specific marks.
Whose marks are we trying to meet and what standards are we upholding in our pursuits? Hint: If you find yourself procrastinating, never being satisfied with your efforts, and feeling like there is a clear "right" way that is superior to other ways, you're likely perpetuating someone else's measurements and norm.
This is the foundation of perfectionism--being in a cycle of desiring outcomes that can never be achieved and that don't resonate with your unique likeness. Let that sink in...and then join us as we sit in council around how perfectionism can show up in our lives and reimagine how we can move through it with nourishing and resonant practices.
We at TLC all need this conversation and we are looking forward to learning with you!
*Books Mentioned: Teaching to Transgress by Bell Hooks
1 FEB. 2023 · Mama Nika and Mama Kaiya take a vulnerable dive into their views about body literacy, consent and body boundaries.
This episode was adapted from a live Tribe Chat conversation around boundaries around nudity in family structures but we started getting at the roots and ended up covering SO much more. We suggested that this conversation might be repurposed at a later time. Surprise, surprise! It turned into this episode of Lifelong Learning. We invite listeners into the following questions while tuning in:
How can we create boundaries that are intelligent enough to be permeable in the direction that we choose...letting things go and keeping certain things in; keeping things on the outside from coming inside while allowing our essence to pour out when we desire?
How do we have to transform (or not) to be full in our authentic expression?
How do we give birth to our creations in our raw and primal glory without interference by an external gaze?
If anything lands or misses for you, please get in touch with us to share your perspective(s). We'd love to hear from you!

25 ENE. 2023 · In this episode Mama Kaiya and Mama Nika discuss their personal journeys of discovering their own learning styles. As they reminisce on their diverse upbringing and the impact their learning environments had on their childhood education, they ascertain their evolution from then to now.
Learning styles are dynamic and as parents of little humans we explore being in a pliable state of mind and environment to guide our children in discovering their own style of learning.
How has your childhood learning envirnment and time affected your guidance on your child's education?
18 ENE. 2023 · Vulnerability is a form of nakedness that allows us to birth and be birthed--one transformation after the next. In this episode we discuss the irony of needing prerequisites to accessing vulnerability as it is human nature and our birthright. History, trauma, fatigued nervous systems and other variables contribute to the need to have some foundational practices and prerequisites to remembering vulnerability as a pathway to deeper connection to ourselves, our children, and each other.
17 DIC. 2022 · Mama Kaiya and Mama Nika explore the nervous system journey of supporting children through difficult moments. They delve into what it feels like to be triggered and activated while parenting as well as moving through those feelings in order to facilitate their children in doing the same. They also reflect on how parenting journeys vary from person to person with considerations of racial trauma, safety, and childhood wounds.
