We will learn: How experiencing trauma and tragedy can make you more receptive to new spiritual paths.  How meditation helps stay resilient in the face of challenges.  How to allow for the possibility of a spiritual awakening, even if you’re a complete skeptic. Have you ever gone through something that changed your entire life? I think we all have actually, whether we know it or not. But sometimes something happens and in that moment we know that nothing will ever be the same.   We don’t remember most of our lives. We remember key moments that, for whatever reason, had an impact on us. And we tend to remember where we were for big events, such as the events of September 11, 2001. Today’s guest remembers right where he was also, because he was actually on the bottom floor of the first tower that collapsed. A moment like this can make or break us. Either the pain is too much, so we use whatever we can to escape, like addiction, isolation, depression or even suicide. Or the pain is too much, so we use it as a

We will learn: Why we are all so prone to addiction.  How we are losing the ability to tolerate even minor discomfort.  How to fix our pleasure pain balance. Have you ever struggled with an addiction? Or even just the urge to over-indulge?You’ve probably heard that some people are just born with the gene that makes them more susceptible to becoming addicted to things. Maybe you identify with that susceptibility, or maybe you think you’re immune to addiction. But the truth is really none of us are. The survival mechanisms in our brains make it a risk for anyone. Yes some people tend to fall deeper and harder into it, and this can be from a number of factors, including childhood trauma or other environmental factors... but still... addiction doesn’t really discriminate.And now, our technology is exploiting the very reward centers in our brain that tend to lead to addiction. So we’re all just a little bit closer to it than we’d like to admit to ourselves.So in a world of indulgence and over-consumption, how do w

We will learn: What the goal of the inner work is.  How your partner can help you reveal your soul’s work.  The themes of consciousness we must work through and ascend.  If you want to experience lasting positive change, you have to do the work.   But what the fluff is “the work”?   When I first started going down the road of spirituality, I was just focused on the destination. I felt like I needed to fix myself. I had no idea how long it was going to take, I just knew that I was not there yet.   The problem is, when we get so caught up in the person we want to be, or the goals we want to accomplish or how far we still have to go, it’s actually really easy to fall into a mindset of lack.   And guess what… That illusive “work” that everyone talks about, is done in the now. It’s how you’re choosing to be in this moment, not tomorrow or next week or next year. Now.   Welcome. You’re in the now.   So now that we’re here, what do we do? That’s what we’re talking about today.    Our guests are Mat & Ash, best

We will learn:  How to differentiate between urgent and important.  How our labels and limitations affect our time.  An intuitive process for deciding what really matters. The first step is the commitment to finding the time. If you go through your life believing you don’t have time, rather than believing there is always a way, then your reality will be exactly what you believe it to be. You will not be able to find the time. The next step is the logistics.  In a world where everything is competing for our attention, how do we find time to do what’s important, when we’re also juggling the hardest job in the world: parenting? That’s what we’re talking about today.  Our guest is Christy Wright. She is a No.1 national best-selling author, personal development expert, and host of The Christy Wright Show. She’s been featured on Today Show and Fox News, and in Entrepreneur and Woman’s Day Magazines. Since 2009, Christy has served at Ramsey Solutions, where she teaches on personal development, business, and faith. L

We will learn: How traditions can write our families’ stories.  How to give your family the gift of spontaneity.  How to overcome resistance to tradition from older children.  Plus a ton of ideas for year round family traditions. What are your favorite childhood memories? What traditions did your family have that you always looked forward to?   Making memories and traditions for your family can be a lot of hard work. So it’s easy to convince yourself they don’t really matter and just skip them, but those traditions might be the thing that sticks out the most when your children, or even when you think about your lives.   They’re something that everyone in the family can look forward to. They can be the points of stability in a chaotic world.   So how do we start to make traditions that our families will look forward to for a lifetime?    That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Jessica Smartt, author of Memory-Making Mom and Let Them Be Kids.   Links from the episode: Show Notes: https://mindlov

We will learn: How to adopt and teach the scandinavian’s relationship with nature.  How to change your mindset around bad weather.  The little known benefits of unstructured nature play. My husband always says to me, “there’s no such thing as bad weather, just inadequate clothing.” To which my usual reply is, “That’s absolutely and utter bullshit, it’s frigid outside and it makes me want to die.” Okay a little dramatic I know, but my spirit animal is cozy and I like hot tea and fuzzy slippers and warm baths and my husband seems to get off on cold hard steel and I just don’t get it, okay? But I want an expansive mindset that enables me to go or live anywhere so I’m learning to appreciate all that nature has to offer.  My husband’s family is in Michigan, and if you know anything about that state, the running joke is “Don’t like the weather? Wait a minute.” But when there is a beautiful day, they enjoy it. The whole summer is spent outside. They spend time really curating their yards, which are forests, making i

We will learn: How to reverse engineer learning by looking at the whole.  How to help children deal with mistakes in a way that won’t make them shut down.  How to use fantasy to engage children. I am not a big fan of the public school system, even though I did well in school.  Because after all my hard work, I feel like school was one big broken promise.  And the sad part is, if a child fails a subject, they’re not just getting a bad grade in math, they’re risking their future because “they won’t get into a good college therefore they won’t get a good job.”  Or they’re risking their social circle because they might get held back a grade until they pass, or they’re risking parents’ disappointment, or humiliation from peers, or any of the other number of things adults scare them with. Aside from all that fear, I think the worst part is the real risk that they build a self belief that they’re stupid. But what if the problem isn’t the child? What if the problem is the school system? And what if homeschooling do

We will learn: How to identify the harmful patterns that may have been passed down through generations.  Why giving advice or offering solutions is not helpful and what to do instead.  How to yell less.  Everyone has childhood wounds and needs that weren’t met whether our parents even realized it or not. If you have kids, you probably feel like you’ve already inflicted some damage by responding at times in ways that turned out to be less than helpful. But the fact that you love your child enough to think “can I make small changes to do this parenting thing a little better,” tells me that you’re already doing an amazing job. Yes there are tips about communicating with kids and motivating them and helping them learn, but what I’m learning is that the biggest impact you have is what you model for them. One day they’re going to be responsible for taking care of themselves and showing them how you take care of yourself is probably the most effective way to do that. When you take care of your needs first, you calm

We will learn: How our egos interfere with our parenting.   How to release our children from our need for approval.  How to create a life that mirrors our child’s “being”.  Regardless of what plants the seed for the transformation, it’s always a choice.   There are plenty of people who allow trauma to break them down and they never consciously rebuild themselves, which is a key part in transformation, in my opinion at least.   Just like we have a choice to begin to develop resilience in the face of adversity, we also have a choice when it comes to parenting.   For some people, parenting isn’t an opportunity for transformation at all. Without bringing some sort of intention to the experience, it can become an opportunity to further activate our own neuroticism.    We can see how parenting styles across cultures tend to create a personality that would best fit into that culture. It can affect confidence, work ethic, or how serious or outgoing a person is.   What I’m more interested in, is not how to raise a h

We will learn:  Why autonomy is critical for kids and how to help them develop it.  A 4-step process for dealing with kids emotions in a productive way.  How to help kids develop motivation beyond reward-based activities.  November is parents month! Whether you have your own kids or not, this month will help you understand the children in your life as well as learn to deal with your own inner child better! Communication can be difficult with children. When they’re young, they might not comprehend enough language to grasp what you mean. And even when they do have the words, they might not be emotionally ready for the message. Children’s brains work differently, and those brains are not fully developed until they are in their 30s. So communicating with them means meeting them where they are. We can also help them to develop their logic centers by helping them engage that part of the brain. So that’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Ned Johnson. He is the founder of PrepMatters and the coauthor of "T

We will learn: How our childhood experiences influence our innate parenting habits.  How to bring awareness to our expectations and our triggers.  Easy practices to find stillness in the small moments.  As simple as the concepts of mindfulness are, it’s also a new way of living, which involves breaking other habits to create new ones. So it takes time to feel natural in it.    But as life changes, so do our needs and habits, so at times our mindfulness practices need a revamp.   I am experiencing one of those phases now as I’ve stepped into a new role of motherhood, because right now, my self care can not always come first.   So how do I prioritize myself while also being an attentive mother and managing my home and pursuing my purpose?   In what ways can I fit in small practices throughout my day that will make the biggest difference?   That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest today is Josephine Atluri, expert in meditation and mindfulness, and author of a new book focused on mindfulness specifical

We will learn: How school suppresses a child’s natural learning.  Myths about literacy and teaching children young.  Better ways to help a child learn literacy, numeracy and socialization.  While I’m raising my own child, I’m also healing my own inner child.  One thing I’ve realized is that so many of the things I’m learning about raising him… like communication, how to teach him, how he learns… are also relevant to how I deal with my own inner child. The way I speak to myself is so similar to how I should speak to him. Connecting through emotions before logic. Letting curiosity lead. Even if you’re not planning on having children, there’s a wealth of info on how to care for yourself. Healing your inner child is all about re-parenting yourself.  So today we’re going to be talking about how to foster skills that are actually helpful in the age we’re living in - whether you’re teaching these skills to your real child, or your inner child.  Our guest today is Kerry McDonald, author of multiple books, including:

We will learn: What defines empathic reception.  Why do empathic people have to tend to what’s out of balance in their lives to gain authority over their sensory abilities.  How to honor the collective space and filter emotional debris.  Plus I’ll teach you a tool at the end of the show on how to perceive a person’s first energy field.  Empaths feel the emotions of other people. They are highly sensitive, physically and emotionally. And the level of empathy can vary from person to person, almost like a sliding scale. People can become highly empathic in response to trauma, but they can also be born empathic. Either way, if they don’t learn to manage it, they aren’t yet an empath. They’re just a sponge. Because potential empaths absorb other people’s emotions, many potential empaths are a little bit volatile. They can experience very high highs and very low lows for seemingly no reason.  To become an empath instead of just a sponge, sensitive people must learn how to discern which emotions belong to someone el
