-
Absolutely! If you can’t attend the weekly live coaching calls, each call will be recorded and stored in a portal to watch your convenience.
-
Definitely. You can cancel 24hrs prior to the end of the current period (before the next month renews). The beauty of staying a member is that you'll get more opportunities to ask questions as situations occur!
-
We do want your child to have had some experience living as a mixed-race child—talking, making friends, going to school—and some ability to process what they experience. We also want you as parents to have observed some of your child's experiences as well. It is best if your child is 5 and up, but depending on your child's experiences and needs, you could benefit from this program with a kid as young as 3 or 4.
-
NO! This program is for mixed race children of ANY background! Whether your child has a Black parent, Asian parent, White parent or a parent from any other nationality or racial group, The Mixed Life Academy will help you understand the experience of being a part of more than one group at the same time. While many other online coaching programs may focus on children with a Black parent, The Mixed Life Academy is more inclusive and focuses on the shared experiences that mixed race people of many different backgrounds share.
-
NOPE! This program is for PARENTS of mixed race kids. When it comes to mixed race children, having BOTH parents involved and playing a role in helping them understand themselves in a racial way is of utmost importance. This program is also for ANY parent who has a mixed race child. That means single parents, mixed race parents, same-sex parents, adoptive parents, etc!
-
There will be "hot seat" moments during coaching calls to allow a family to present their specific experiences and questions as it relates to the topic we're covering. And there will be opportunities to ask questions and learn from other parents’ experiences.
-
This is not a program or a training. Learning to affirm your mixed race child and teach them resilience to be confident and secure when they step into the world is a journey. It has twists and turns and will create growth and discovery in you over time, as well as your child. By joining without an end in mind, you can allow yourself to sink into finding the empathy for the world your child is living in and really begin to see what they are set to face from a different perspective. There are definitely books out there to give you an overview of important aspects of raising a mixed race kid, but learning HOW to do it and putting new behaviors and approaches in practice needs your time and investment from your heart.
-
Yes! Although there are very specific needs for transracial adoptees, The Mixed Life Academy will teach you about the mixed race experience and what you can do as their parent to best meet their needs.
-
If your child has not yet graduated high school or left home to attend college or live on their own then it is not too late to benefit from this membership group.
Hi! I’m Dr. Jenn
After over 15 years of working with parents of mixed race kids as a psychologist, and a lifetime of being mixed race myself, I am no stranger to the challenges of raising a confident, resilient mixed race kid.
I know how badly you want to support and affirm your child and how frustrating it feels to have no idea what your mixed race kid really needs from you.
I am here to unveil the mystery of mixed race parenting so that you know how to be your child’s strongest advocate. You deserve the necessary tools to raise a confident mixed race kid. This membership offers them all.
