Episode 114. Mercedes Samudio: Eyes of Wakanda

On this episode, Mercedes Samudio joins me to talk about the limited-run Marvel series Eyes of Wakanda.

Mercedes Samudio 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.
