    35 Parenting To Be Proud Of

    For years I knew something was wrong. Way too many interactions with my children left me feeling regretful. All too often we began or ended our days with tears. I wasn't showing up as a parent in the way I imagined I would. What played out in our house day after day was not what was on my heart. I felt guilty, ashamed, hopeless, and scared. In this episode, I share my experience and how I have managed to make extraordinary gains. (It is possible for YOU too!) I hope this episode brings new possibility for you and your family. As mentioned in this episode, check out Ep. 9 for more on what I like to call "the parenting pause." And here are the links to find favorite experts: Michelle Kenney of Peace and Parenting- Check out her Podcast and grab her book, "Unpunished." Dr. Becky of The Good Inside and Dr. Shefali of The Conscious Parent and online yoga instructor and business coach for aspiring online wellness coaches, Zenn with Jenn. These brave and insightful professionals have unknowingly helped me to create real change in our relationships and our household. I will be eternally grateful for their work and hope you find them as supportive in your journey as I have in mine. OH -- AND YOUR INVITATION-- As, shared in this episode, please do reach out and support me as I work toward my certification for Immersive Meditation.

    34 Transform and Transcend with Enneagram Coach Anna Everhart

    "The awareness IS the enlightenment," says Enneagram Coach, Voice Coach, mom of three, and beautiful soul, Anna Everhart. In this conversation, Anna shared so much about how this tool aids us in getting to know our core motivations and fears. She runs through each Enneagram number and helps us understand how our number allows us to see the world, and act, in very specific ways. She also shares what each type "longs to hear," which can be extremely validating- and empowering!  Anna reminds us that the Enneagram is not something we want to become- it is something we want to remember as we move through this beautiful life! If you are curious about your Enneagram, Anna suggested this site: ⁠https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/⁠ (Listeners may enjoy taking the quiz before listening to this episode!) Interested in learning MORE about your type? Here you go-- ⁠http://assessment.yourenneagramcoach.com/⁠ AND meet Anna here: ⁠@wanted_and_loved and here ⁠https://annaeverhart.wixsite.com/enneagramcoachingwit She has created a special offer for our listeners!⁠

    33 How It's Going

    Have you ever felt like you are in a bit of a limbo? Not quite sure of where you are headed but also feeling like you are on the right track? That is where I am right now. This place of not achieving, striving or doing. Instead, internalizing, embodying, and trusting. And it takes patience. It is it's own type of "work." I thank you for being a witness to my experience and I wonder if you see yourself in my story. Thank you for listening.

    32 The Choice to Direct our Energy

    Where is your energy going? Are you consciously choosing where you want it to go? Is your energy being spent in a way that fills you up? Or is it going in the direction of the "shoulds" or "need-to's?" AND, perhaps most importantly, what are the beliefs buried under how we spend our energy? Are these beliefs developed as coping mechanisms or might they even be inherited and we are living them out in an unconscious manner?? In this episode, I ponder all of the above and make the not-so-easy decision to put my energy back into myself and my family. MY life. It just feels right. Not selfish. Not the easy way out. Just the path I am being called down at the moment. So, I challenge you to give it some thought- what path are you walking down currently and is it bringing you true joy??Further, looking ahead, does this path lead to your desired destination? Or, is it actually taking you off-course from what truly lights you up?
