Leslie has spent 17+ years helping Latinx families break cycles of intergenerational harm, and in this conversation she uses one deeply familiar cultural emblem — la chancla, the sandal — as a keyhole into a much bigger story about survival, history, and healing.This is a tender, honest, context-over-shame conversation. In this episode, we talk about:The context and culture around la ChanclaWhat "nonviolent" parenting actually means The "cuatro amigos" underneath so much of how we parentReconnecting with the inner child — the inner niña — as a path back to intuitionRemembrance and celebrating the resilience AND resistance of the cultureAbout Leslie: Leslie Priscilla is a Certified Parent Coach, Certified Family Life Educator, and the founder of Latinx Parenting, a bilingual organization reaching hundreds of thousands of families through workshops, trainings, and advocacy rooted in children's rights and nonviolence.
