Episode 98: Shanera Williamson – Raising Brown Children in White Spaces
Shanera Willamson is the host of the Brown Mama Bear Podcast. I first found out about Shanera on the Donald Miller Podcast which is a business podcast. She was getting advice from him about how to go about starting this awesome community that she has created. The community that she created is for parents raising brown children in white spaces. Shanera provides a place for parents to get the support, inspiration and input they need to raise kids who are comfortable in their skin and can passionately leave their mark on society. She is the mom of three daughters and after her youngest went to college she reflected on her own life and what she learned over the years of parenting and she wanted to share and help others walking through the same type of situations that she has walked through. Shanera says “all children deserve to grow up in an environment where they are seen, celebrated, and given the tools to succeed. The sting of racism embedded in our society can affect the confidence, self-respect, and ambition of children of color. Specifically parents of black and brown children must take steps to uproot the bias, negative stereotypes, and discrimination that threaten the physical and emotional safety of our developing young people. Ultimately, with the guidance of an engaged brown mama bear, our kids can thrive and reach their God-given potential despite the barriers that they face.” What we talked about: 4:50- What Brown Mama Bear is 5:50- Schools, community, and what we do at home and how that impacts our kids 11:15- Teaching people based on what she learned through her parenting 17:00- Adultifying your kids 30:00- Helping people to make a change in your community 38:45- Her relationships with her kids as they are now adults 47:00- The importance of raising good kids 50:20- End of podcast questions Show notes: One Willco Shanera on Instagram Black Mama Bear Podcast Faithful Antiracism ColorFull: Celebrating the Colors God Gave Us You Are Special The Summer I Turned Pretty Connect with Lindsey: Lindsey on Instagram <a href="https://twitter.com/LindseyHein" target="_Blank" rel="noreferrer noopen

Episode 18: Lisa Graft – Unmet expectations and identity outside of Motherhood
Lisa Graft is a beautiful soul who will encourage you to be exactly who YOU were created to be unapologetically.

We also talk about making sure we are continuing to pursue our passion and identity outside of motherhood which feels really important considering one day all of these kids are going to be out of the house and we’re going to need to know what we love outside of mothering or fathering them. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Lisa as much as I did. Know that my life is different than yours and Lisa’s life is different with mine and yours and we all have our own stuff.

Intro: Why is Everyone Yelling
Hey everyone! WELCOME to Why is Everyone Yelling! As the mother of four I’ve always envisioned myself creating a show where parents can connect, grow and feel supported. Parenthood is beautiful and it’s also really hard. In the eight short years of experience I have, I have learned over and over again that I may need to rethink how I do things around here. And I often times find myself saying, maybe yelling “why is everyone yelling.” My hope is that you will leave this podcast each week armed with something that will help you in your own parenting in some way big or small. What I really envision is that you will smile, you will give some solid head nods and you will feel supported. This is a weekly podcast that will drop every Tuesday. We are super proud to bring this show into the SandyBoy Productions podcast network. It joins I’ll Have Another with Lindsey Hein, The Up and Running Podcast and The Illuminate Podcast. We have already created a Facebook group for this podcast called “Why is Everyone Yelling” and you can also connect with me on Instagram I’m @LindseyHein626 over there.
