"I love helping others to know themselves in a different way and to harness the power of Human Design to step more fully into one's authentic self, and to know the way that their loved ones tick." Jamie Woodworth
Read MoreIf you're anything like me, making a plan may be a daily thing. And, when things don't go as "planned" your whole day feels off and you're off in search of another plan that will finally let you feel in control and calm this overwhelm for good.
I'll let you in on a little secret... it's not about the plan. It's about the feeling you think the plan will give you.
Read More"You don't have to be an exhausted mom while raising your little ones. In fact, you SHOULDN'T be an exhausted mom while raising your little ones!"
In this bonus episode, I chat with Eva Klein, an infant and child sleep consultant and founder of My Sleeping Baby and the Sleep Bible program. She is ALL about helping clients establish healthy sleep habits for their children.
Read More"Patterns are everywhere and being able to become aware of what they are and what you want allows us the opportunities to see the choices we actually have."
In this episode, Claire Cetti shares her journey from childhood and the patterns she had to work through to be the mom she wanted to be. Through this process, she developed her C.A.R.E.S. pathway that places the focus on the relationship we have with our kiddos and how we can honor the "me" while holding the "we" as a beautiful place to be.
Read More"Parenting teens can be tough, but it doesn't have to nearly as tough as we're making it."
Read MoreI can remember so clearly when losing my cool was more than an everyday occurrence, it was how I spent my days.
In this perpetual state of being a hair-trigger away from the yelling and the power struggles and the anxiety that I was doing something wrong. Which also meant I was a hair-trigger away from the guilt and crushing weight of failing once again.
Failing to keep it together. Failing to apply what I know to do. Failing to pause.
Read MoreOMG! I know you're going to love this episode as much as I enjoyed listening to Gina Bell read her book, Tears & Tulle, and chatting all about living our life in full color and accessing our inner magic even when life doesn’t go the way we hope!
Tears & Tulle is the story of a girl and her rainbow tulle skirt. Magical and invisible to all but the girl, the skirt is a source of joy, wonder, and strength.
Read MoreHow can you get where you want to go without a clear vision of what you want?
Do you know what you're a YES for? Maybe you're more clear on what you're a no for.
Just like a GPS makes arriving at the destination we desire with purpose and intention more likely, so does having a clear vision for the experience you desire to create.
Read MoreErin is a Master Possibility Coach, Speaker, Author, and Mom. In this episode, we talk about the important role that shadow work & dancing in possibility plays in our parenting. We also got into a discussion on Human Design.
Read MoreChrista Bevan is a Radical mom. Yes, she's super rad, but she also has her own definition of a Radical mom which is SO important. She's also a certified TRE (tension & trauma releasing exercises) provider & coach for Radical moms. She's here to talk about healing generational trauma, what it means to be a "Radical Mother" & what she calls Dynamic Self-Care.
Because our children learn from what we model, rather than just our words, we are teaching them all the time.
Read MoreHappiness. We all want. We all strive for it. And most of us miss the boat completely on experiencing it. The problem lies within the whole paradigm in which we see it. And in the way we go about trying to achieve it. Most people live from a place of "if I have this/that then I'll be happy" or "when this happens, then I'll be happy". Well, my friends, we have it all wrong.
Read MoreAnxiety is all too common these days, with us & with our children. Especially after the last year. Thank you, 2020.
Today's guest, best-selling author, life coach & psychologist, Tonya Crombie (see below for bio) is here to talk about how we can support our children with their anxiety.
It probably won't come as a surprise to hear that you must take care of yourself first. You know, the whole, put your own oxygen mask on first analogy. The whole point is that we must get ourselves out of the anxious state first so that we can support our kiddos in doing the same. No amount of telling our children to breathe when we ourselves are in a heightened, irrational state will work.
Read MoreIf you're a mom currently raising children this episode is for you. If you're a grandparent, this episode is for you. If you're a caregiver of children, this episode is for you. Basically, this episode is for everyone. It's that good.
Even though I've been actively working on parenting with respect & connection for almost 5 years, I got SO MUCH out of what today's guest, Rosemary Clark had to say. She is an Authorized Language of Listening® coach helping moms love the way they parent and holy smokes, you guys, she is a wise woman. She shares with us the basics of Language of Listening® that are anything but basic. They are profound. Basic in concept, profound in effect. I really think you are going to love this one.
Read MoreMost of us don't realize that we get to create our own rules. We are so conditioned to the rules of society & of our family that we conform ourselves to fit within these borders, without ever taking a step back to ask "Is this what I want? Is this working for ME? For US?" It takes a bit of growing up to unlearn some of this and really start to carve our own path, which is the only path that leads to true happiness.
Listening to Irene and Holly, author & intuitive healer talk about life, happiness & motherhood was such an unexpected delight. One of the most beautiful things in Holly's wisdom is that it’s not some big, grandiose thing. But more a calm confidence & surety in the way of things. It was beautifully refreshing and exactly right at exactly the right time. Enjoy!
I'm sure you've heard the term "inner child." Maybe you've shrugged it off thinking it a term for therapists. But I am here to tell you this is a concept we all could benefit from understanding much, much better. And more importantly, the real benefits come from doing the work to understand & nurture our own inner child. That's what "healing" means in the context of personal growth. It's a process of re-parenting our little selves. Of giving her what she needs so that we, as adults, can stop replaying the same unproductive, self-sabotaging patterns that affect our relationships & really our entire lives.
Read MoreThe whole idea discussed in this episode is that we control our experiences completely. I know this can be a hard pill to swallow, especially at first. It is an ongoing journey to accept & integrate this reality. But the thing is, what's happening "out there" has no power over us. It's our thoughts & the meanings we make about "out there" that creates our experience.
Read MoreMindfulness is a buzz word, I know. But there's a reason. It's where it's at. A strong mindfulness practice creates a solid foundation for the life you want to live. It's what takes us out of autopilot and allows for peace, joy & all the yummy good feels we're searching for. Because those feelings can't be felt anywhere but right here, right now at this moment. It's not a thing to do but rather a way of getting "solid in your foundation with yourself."
Today's guest, mindfulness expert & mom of 5, Sarah Gyampoh won't tell you how to "do" mindfulness exactly (there is no "right" way). Rather she dives deeply into how it, or the lack thereof, affects our lives in a big way.
Read MoreIf you are a planner, a scheduler, a lover of order, you are going to LOVE today's episode. This episode will satiate your desire for tangible solutions. Big time.
Strategy & implementation coach for Mom entrepreneurs, Lani Jackson, is here to discuss the system she created that allowed her to ditch the on-going, never-ending to-do list that left her feeling defeated Every. Single. Day. Pure necessity drove her to develop a system that works for her to still get done what needs getting done but without the heavy pressure of that damn to-do list that just won't go away, no matter how hard she tried.
Read MoreMoms. We only have so many mental resources. You likely are feeling this fact every single day. You feel burned out, overwhelmed, and have "mom-brain". You know, where you can't seem to remember anything. You feel like you’re operating in a fog. You can't quite seem to focus & function as well as you used to. This is why this week’s guest, neuropsychologist & host of The Bold Life podcast, Dr. Nicole Byers, is here. (Scroll down for full bio). She talks all about the toll on our brains & bodies when our mental resources have been depleted and how to reverse the damage.
Read MoreHonestly, I wasn't in the mood for intentions. For diving inward. Doing the inner work. I love consciousness work but sometimes I get a hangover. Sometimes I don't want to think about the ultimate responsibility that is mine in creating the life I want. It feels too heavy. I just want to relax. Let life happen to me. Bask in the bliss of ignorance.
Because I am tired. So tired. Being a mom, especially in 2020, is kind of kicking my butt. The inner work can feel like too much in addition to everyday life. And yet, that is just a perspective. One that I can shift.
