Next Generation Parenting

Sarah Schindler

Some of us always knew there was a different way to parent. We just didn't have the language for it yet. This podcast is for the parent who is done with one-size-fits-all advice and ready to understand their family from the inside out. We talk about Human Design, holistic nutrition, nervous system regulation, generational patterns, and what it actually looks like to raise kids who know who they are — while you remember who you are in the process. Honest conversations. Real stories. No performance. Sarah Schindler is a Cognitive Parenting Coach, Therapeutic Nutritional Counselor, and Human Design Analyst helping families come back to themselves. She's also a homeschooling mama figuring this out right alongside you. Each episode explores everything from understanding your child's unique design to breaking patterns that were never yours to carry — all in service of raising the next generation a little more free than the last.

    39 - Why Your Child Isn't Listening (And What To Do About It)

    Ever feel like you're speaking a foreign language to your child? You repeat the same instructions with the same tone, but nothing lands—and suddenly everyone's melting down. In this episode, we explore why traditional parenting scripts fall short and how understanding your family's unique wiring can transform your communication. You'll discover the five Human Design types and their distinct communication needs: why Generator children need to be asked instead of directed, how Projector kids crave invitation over interruption, and why Manifestor children resist being managed. This isn't about learning more techniques—it's about speaking your child's energetic language. I share real examples from my own parenting journey, including how understanding my daughter's sensitivity and my son's need for processing time completely shifted our family dynamics. Plus, you'll learn why the transition to conscious communication feels exhausting at first (and when it becomes effortless). What You'll Learn: The communication breakdown happening in your home (and why it's not your fault) How to identify your child's Human Design type and adjust your approach Specific language shifts for each type that actually work Why awareness is always the first step to change How to stop taking your child's resistance personally Get your free Parenting By Type guide: wild-rooted.com/parenting-guide Check out my course: Wild By Design: Raising Kids Who Know Who They Are - $55 If something in this episode resonated, I'd love to stay connected. 🤍 Explore Root to Rise — my self-paced mini course using Human Design to reveal your core wound and clarify your purpose: wild-rooted.com/root-to-rise 🤍 Get your free Human Design chart  🤍 Come say hello over at wild-rooted.com 🤍 Follow me on Instagram: @bewildandrooted 🤍Read free resources — EFT Tapping Guide | Root Cause Release

    38 - Stop Mothering Like a Father

    Are you doing everything right and still running on empty? The problem might not be what you're doing — it might be the energy you're doing it in. In this episode we're talking about masculine and feminine energy, why mothers are burning out at record rates, and what the science of oxytocin and dopamine actually reveals about how women are wired to parent. I share a personal story from when her kids were two and four — a bedtime that pushed her to her limit and the moment that changed everything. Plus an honest conversation about what it looks like to come back to your feminine, why hustle culture was never designed for mothers, and what your children actually need from you that no productivity system can provide. This one is for the mom who is tired of doing more and ready to try something different. Topics covered: Masculine and feminine energy — what they are and why we need both The oxytocin and dopamine difference and why it matters for mothers What the wounded masculine and wounded feminine actually look like How childhood conditioning and trauma pull us out of alignment What coming back to your feminine looks like as a daily practice A special message for single moms and solo parenting seasons   If something in this episode resonated, I'd love to stay connected. 🤍 Explore Root to Rise — my self-paced mini course using Human Design to reveal your core wound and clarify your purpose: wild-rooted.com/root-to-rise 🤍 Get your free Human Design chart  🤍 Come say hello over at wild-rooted.com 🤍 Follow me on Instagram: @bewildandrooted 🤍 Work with me: wild-rooted.com/human-design-sessions 🤍Read free resources — EFT Tapping Guide | Root Cause Release

    37 - Energizing Winter: Herbs, Human Design & Rest

    Hear from energy practitioner and bioregional herbalist Ina Claggette about aligning personal energy with natural seasons, particularly winter's call for rest, restoration, and inward reflection.​ Ina explains her work blending human design, astrology, numerology, and local herbalism to help people show up authentically, using "weeds" and backyard plants as seasonal medicine for nutrition, energy, and healing. We discuss winter energetics (Capricorn earth, Aquarius air, Pisces water), lacking fire, and practical ways to add it via root vegetables, warming teas/spices like ginger, gentle walks, candles, or sun exposure to prevent depression without disrupting rest. We even cover homeschooling and how Human design ties in by using your child's type to create strategies—like gamifying tasks (timers, obstacle courses, balloons) and avoid burnout. New Year's resolutions get reframed: reflect on past patterns, align with heart desires, use moon cycles (new moon intentions, quarter check-ins) and quarterly planning over rigid yearly goals, plus numerology shifts from 2025's year nine (snake, shedding) to 2026's year one (horse, fresh starts). Learn to trust nature's cues (hibernating trees/animals), avoiding hustle culture, and living intentionally for easier parenting, wellness, and flow. Get Ina's free Winter Guide (It's so good!). It has all the ways to connect with Ina, too.  If something in this episode resonated, I'd love to stay connected. 🤍 Explore Root to Rise — my self-paced mini course using Human Design to reveal your core wound and clarify your purpose: wild-rooted.com/root-to-rise 🤍 Get your free Human Design chart  🤍 Come say hello over at wild-rooted.com 🤍 Follow me on Instagram: @bewildandrooted 🤍 Work with me: wild-rooted.com/human-design-sessions

    32 - The Courage To Parent On Your Own Terms, Even When You Feel Misunderstood

    This vulnerable solo episode shows how I went from people pleasing to standing up for what was best for me and my family (even if I was shaking and scared). I share about how I broke free from external expectations and learned to trust my intuition over authority.

I began to question medical opinions and parenting norms which became my greatest gift to my children. I talk about how I trusted my inner wisdom over external "experts" and finding alignment through faith and intentional choices. If you're struggling with people-pleasing, questioning mainstream parenting approaches, or feeling called to trust your instincts, this episode will remind you that your differences are your design—and it's never too late to step into authentic and aligned parenting.
