    Why Gentle Parenting Might Be Failing Your Kids (and How to Fix It) ft. Tia Slightham

    Parenting isn’t something we’re born knowing how to do, it’s something we learn. In this episode of the Mindful Movement Podcast, parenting coach Tia Slightham breaks down why effective parenting skills come from education and practice, not intuition. She explores how different parenting styles and discipline strategies impact your child’s growth. You’ll learn about child behavior, gentle parenting, emotional triggers, and reactive parenting. We also dig into modern challenges like social media, communication breakdowns, and balancing support with independence. Tia explains how developing emotional intelligence creates stronger family dynamics and a calmer home environment. Whether you’re new to parenting dealing with a "challenging kid" or looking to deepen your understanding of psychology and conscious parenting, this episode will leave you feeling more equipped, confident, and compassionate in your approach.

    Transforming Trauma into Service | Joe Smarro

    In this interview, I sit down with Joe Smarro former police officer turned mental health advocate, to talk about his powerful journey of trauma, healing, and growth. Joe opens up about how vulnerability became his strength, why empathy in crisis situations is life-saving, and how his own experiences shaped his mission. We dive deep into his use of ketamine therapy for trauma recovery, the creation of the CCRTC de-escalation model (curiosity, connection, rapport, trust, compliance), and why self-awareness and unconditional love are key to mental health. Joe also shares how parenting reveals unresolved trauma and how his company, Solution Point Plus, is teaching these skills across industries. If you’re interested in mental health, trauma recovery, de-escalation techniques, or personal growth, this conversation with Joe Smarro will challenge you to rethink what true strength really means.

    Yoga Nidra Meditation NSDR | Connect with Your Heart’s Desire & Intentions

    If you are struggling to make a decision in your life or simply want to get to know yourself better, this special yoga nidra meditation and visualization practice is for you. It is incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating if used during the day. It can also be used to help you fall asleep and enjoy extremely productive and healing sleep. It has been said that 1 hour of yoga nidra equates to 4 hours of deep sleep. Using this systematic approach to full body and mind meditative rest to enjoy blissful peace and uncover your heart’s desires while you relieve stress. This practice of yogic sleep will guide you to the state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleeping. You do not worry if you do not hear everything. It is natural to flow in and out of conscious hearing. The deepest part of you is listening. This meditation is 50 minutes of spoken word and can be used during the day or to help you go to sleep for the night. If you are listening to this recording with the intention to move into a sleeping state, my voice will simply fade into the background and your subconscious mind will be ready to allow sleep to easily come to you. If you are moving on with your day, your subconscious will listen to my voice bring you back to full awareness. You may also want to set a soft timer if you don't plan to go to sleep.

    Is THIS The Next Step for The Human Mind? ft. Tom Matte

    What if your mind could see beyond words? In this interview, Tom Matte introduces his phenomenon called Upside Vision, a way of perceiving holographic images, symbols, and insights that go far deeper than everyday conversation. We explore the role of permission, the surprising connection between trauma and hidden abilities, and the idea that the brain may function more like a receiver than a generator. Along the way, Tom shares how meditation, symbolism, and personal journeys all shape this unusual form of perception. As the discussion unfolds, we step into questions about the future of communication, the influence of online personas on authenticity, and the possibility of nonverbal connection that transcends traditional language. From scientific studies to growing interest in these unexplored abilities, this conversation blends personal storytelling with big picture implications. Nothing is answered outright, but you will leave with more questions about the boundaries of human perception, the mind’s hidden potential, and what might be waiting just beyond the edge of ordinary awareness. Tom Matte is the creator of Upside Vision, a phenomenon where he perceives holographic images that reveal symbolic insights. After overcoming trauma and addiction, he discovered this ability and now shares it through personal readings, talks, and collaborations with researchers. His work explores how perception, meditation, and science intersect with human potential.
