Test Podcast
Welcome to Power to the Parents, a podcast from ParentsTogether connecting parents and caregivers to the incredible power they have to create a better world for their children. Hosted by ParentsTogether’s Executive Director Ailen Arreaza, we’ll meet regular parents who’ve done amazing things to ensure a safer, brighter future for their kids. And all kids.
In this podcast, we’ll explore significant issues that demand collective action, such as paid family leave, childcare, education, and we’ll show how parents can unite as a powerful force for change. Each episode unveils the empowering narratives of parents across the country who face adversity and decided to take action for their families. We share these stories of resilience and action with the hope to inspire us all to advocate for the changes we wish to see in the world. Through thought -provoking interviews and candid discussions, we learn how these remarkable individuals have addressed vital issues and made a difference in their communities.
By exploring activism through the lens of parenting, we examine how simply being a parent can be a superpower. Because at the end of the day, we’d do anything for our kids.
Come listen to be inspired and learn how to tap into your own parenting superpowers.
