Episode 104. Mercedes Samudio: Sinners.

Episode 104. Mercedes Samudio: Sinners.

I chat once more with Mercedes Samudio, DSW, licensed clinical social worker, bestselling author, international speaker, and visionary entrepreneur. We dissect Ryan Coogler's new horror film Sinners and the use of imagery, metaphors, and history to explore the African-American experience. 

Mercedes works with parents around the world in developing a healthy parental identity with her revolutionary Parental Identity Development Model and incorporating her Shame-Proof Parenting philosophy to help reduce the shame parents experience as they raise healthy children. Mercedes is also trained in trauma-informed modalities which she uses in her work with parents to help them heal the past traumas that can influence the ways parents interact with themselves and their children.
