In this episode of This Is How We Care, we sit down with developmental psychologist and author Dr. Darcia Narvaez to explore what children—and humanity—truly need to thrive.

Drawing from neuroscience, anthropology, Indigenous wisdom, and decades of research, Dr. Narvaez introduces the concept of the Evolved Nest: the caregiving system humans evolved with for 99% of our history—and how far modern culture has drifted from it.

In this conversation with ceremonialist, teen mentor, and soul-centric educator Johannah Reimer illuminate a path toward reclaiming ancestral wisdom, building ritual in everyday life, supporting girls through their first blood with reverence, and cultivating the council, community, and belonging every young person is wired for.

In this conversation, Emily Race-Newmark and Kazu Haga explore the themes of nonviolence, community healing, and the importance of conflict as a regenerative force.

They discuss the necessity of grief rituals for collective healing, the experience of living in an intentional community, and the various types and levels of conflict.
