Relationship Anarchy & Dope Parenting with Marvyn Harrison

Jayda and Marvyn sit down to explore themes of parenting, masculinity, protection and relationship anarchy. Marvyn shares his journey from a traditional advertising career to pioneering a platform that challenges generational narratives about black fatherhood. He opens up about the personal struggles of being a dad, the life-changing impact of therapy, and why emotional and psychological safety must be at the heart of all relationships. He talks about how he allows his core values to be his guides as a father and also introduces the concept of relationship anarchy and co-creating the most supportive environment for his children. Marvyn reflects on how inner work helps men build more honest, sustainable partnerships and what that work needs to look like. He also shares his unique co-parenting journey, centring his children’s well-being while nurturing a respectful bond with their mother, and why men must create space for emotional regulation to show up fully as fathers. This episode offers profound, vulnerable insights on dismantling patriarchy, reimagining family dynamics, and prioritizing self-care as a vital act of love.
