Hush - The First Time We're Taught to Stay Silent

Send us a text

What happens when a child raises her hand to speak... and someone gently pushes it down?

In this deeply personal episode of Mindful Transitions, I reflect on a powerful moment at Reconciliation Day that cracked somethin open inside me - a moment not on stage, but in the crowd. a five-year-old girl. A mother's quiet hush. And a legacy of silence that too many of us inherit without knowing. 

I explore the hidden curriculum passed through generations - where silence is mistaken for safety, manners become masks, and a child's voice is shaped before it even find its form.

Through storytelling, lived experience, and cultural insight, the episode invites listeners to reflect on their own voice, their parenting, and the silent scripts we carry from our ancestors. Whether you're raising children or healing your inner one, Hush is a call to notice... and to choose differently.
