    276 // Self-Care: How To Do It Right

    276 // Self-Care: How To Do It Right

    Self-care seems to be a buzzword that gets swept up in consumerism and consequently the real meaning and purpose of self-care gets blurry. In today’s episode, we talk about what self-care really is and how intentionality, mindfulness, and boundaries can help us connect better to ourselves and others.

    274 // Respect; it's mutual with Joe Newman Author of Raising Lions

    274 // Respect; it's mutual with Joe Newman Author of Raising Lions

    It seems there is an epidemic of disrespect, whining, tantrums, talking back and in general, less respect than we saw in previous generations of kids. We are burned out as parents and we don't see a way out. This ends in being ultra strict or ultra passive because we just feel burnt out.

    In this episode Felica talks with Joe Newman about mutual recognition. This is the practice of back and forth respect that we should see to establish in our homes for a peaceful environment. Oftentimes the balance is shifted in favor of respecting our children but is not returned. There is a place in the middle where we can create a mutually respectful relationship with our kids.

    273 // When Life Throws Us a Curveball with Brene Brown’s Atlas of the Heart

    273 // When Life Throws Us a Curveball with Brene Brown’s Atlas of the Heart

    273 // When Things Don’t Go as Planned

    We all like to plan for life and set expectations for how things should go, but what happens when life doesn’t go as planned? Or people or circumstances don’t meet expectations? We try to have a baby and are unable, we lose jobs, marriages end, we lose faith. In this episode we talk about the disappointment, regrets, discouragement, and frustration associated with these situations and tools we can use to view and navigate them with greater understanding and peace.

    Main Ideas


    The language we use to define our emotions matters!


    Disappointment vs. Regret - we feel disappointment when things don’t go how we wanted them to, and we feel the outcome is out of our control. We feel regret when things don’t go how we wanted, and we feel the outcome was caused by our own decisions, actions, or failure to act. 


    Regret can be one of our greatest (and most uncomfortable) teachers


    Tools we talk about - Involving God, “TFT”s from Brené Brown, Fear Setting from Tim Ferris

My favorite

I love, love, love the Find the Magic podcast.
I started listening 6 years ago when my youngest was a baby and never stopped. This podcast has helped me through so much in my parenting journey. I remember listening in the morning before work as a PE teacher setting up equipment, and now as a stay at home mom to 3.
I feel like the girls are my friends and love how connected I feel to them. I know their individual voices and gain so much from each new episode.
Thank you for this amazing resource.
I love growing with you amazing women.

Refreshing

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a couple of years now. I love the refreshing and always thoughtful, sometimes against the grain parenting perspectives they discuss. Im not great with words so I’ll just say this podcast is definitely worth the listen if you want to gain valuable perspectives into mindful parenting and raising a family!!!!
