How to Shift the Beliefs that Don't Serve Us or Our Children with Kim Muench

How many of us really think about if what we pass to our kids from how we were parented is even healthy? Well, there’s a name for it- Conscious Parenting. And if we’re not careful, we risk continuing a legacy of encouraging a range of mental and emotional issues to develop in the coming generations. For Kim Muench, it wasn’t until her eldest son was secretly suffering from alcohol addiction and she had to parent him through it rather than just sending him to rehab, that the lightbulb went off. It impacted her so much that today she is a Certified Conscious Parenting Coach specializing with mothers of adolescence, on a mission to help build healthier, happier, more functional relationships in families. Her book, “Becoming Me While Raising You: A Mother's Journey to Herself” has helped so many moms and she’s here today to share how we can incorporate Conscious Parenting to build a healthy legacy so the next generation can truly thrive. History begins now, are you ready to take part in creating a beautiful one by parenting well? Enjoy this episode with Kim! Here are the main points discussed in Season 1 Episode 10: ●  How vital it is that we reflect on how we were raised and being intentional about how we live around our kids and who we spend time with. ●  How conscious parenting entails shifting from things we were taught like not going against authority and being pushed out of uncomfortable feelings so that we don’t end up projecting but instead reconciling our relationship with how we were raised to even make our parents look and feel good. ●  Appreciating your kids for who they are + the courage needed to not compare them or push societal norms on them. Rather we must tune into our children and help them develop into who they're meant to be. ●  Her reason for specializing in moms as they set the emotional tone or barometer and when they work on themselves, it ripples out to everyone else in the family. ●  How moms can practically begin to go inward and do the inner work to parent consciously, especially using meditation to reconnect with themselves and overly just making self-care mandatory as Nicole affirmed that when moms thrive, everybody thrives. ●  Managing your environment and finding community to support you since conscious parenting isn’t a known concept and so may not be readily accepted by those in our close circles. ●  Kim’s 4 crucial questions to really dive into the journey of reconciliation and unlocking your wisdom and the wounds of your inner child.

Putting Yourself on Your To-Do List with Onnie Michalsky

One baby alone is already enough, so when you’re a thriving mom of 6 during an entire pandemic, you ought to be praised. Today’s episode features Onnie Michalsky, Licensed therapist and Life & Wellness Coach for Supermoms who have lost themselves under their mom hats. A lot of moms are fed up with mom guilt and neglecting themselves until everyone else is happy. But where do we even start? What would I even do if I take a break, plus what if someone needs me? These are raging thoughts constantly going through many mom’s heads and they are simply dying to get unstuck from this cycle. Once she had it with mom guilt, and even resentment, Onnie decided enough was enough and completely shifted her busy life as a mom of 6 to give herself the breaks she needed, and show up better for her loved ones and social circles. If a mom of 6 in 2022 can do it, why can’t you? You should not have to feel guilty about doing things for yourself or feel guilty for asking for help. It does not make you a bad mom at all. So let’s demolish that narrative that we have to be busy and do all the things to be a good mom . Sounds like something that hits home? Grab your pen and paper because this episode has some great tips for taking your life back as a mom. Have a listen! Here are the main points discussed in Season 1 Episode 4: ●  How putting herself on her to-do list, discovering exercises that were right for her and eating better made a huge difference in how she showed up- simply being a better mom and role model, being in a better mood ●  How having her own self-care already established, made her last child the easiest to handle compared to her other 5 kids. ●  Helping moms hang up their keys and just relax because contrary to popular belief, “not having time” is not the root of not maximizing breaks or self care because moms make time for everything else all the time. + observing the possibility that moms seemingly don’t consider themselves worthy enough to focus on their own needs. ●  Using CBT to shift the beliefs- the perfectionism, the people pleasing and unrealistic expectations, self doubt… all the things preventing moms from making time for themselves. ●  The struggle of not knowing how to ask for help because we were not taught how due to societal pressure that makes us internalize, reveal our need for control and fear of being vulnerable enough to ask, to prove our worthiness and that we can do it. ●  Advising how moms who are new to being self aware and journaling can begin to reframe their minds by first recognizing what they need help ●  The isolation created by superwoman/supermom syndrome from overextension because people see that you seem to have it all together and question whether you even need help when in reality we’re sometimes falling apart on the inside to keep up the facade. ●  By creating margins for your life, relationships with friends, kids and your spouse noticeably improve. ●  The 5 Pillars of Self-care and being intentional yet patient with it. From the Physical, Emotional & mental health to the Spiritual, Intellectual and Social. ●  Using scheduling and time blocking but not overbooking or overscheduling.

How to Keep Your Kids Busy (and LEARNING) All Summer Long Without Screens with Carrie Paxton Herzberger

Knowing she was destined to be a teacher from always accidentally teaching in different schooling systems, from the different client experiences with those from public and private schools and even other states, she noticed that they all had struggles because their needs were simply not being met at their schools. And so the journey began- unschooling was the way to go! Carrie dives into all the benefits and practical ways you allow your children to have the freedom to learn and be creative based on their own interests, plus you get to say goodbye to those unnecessary battles like getting worked up about not getting dirty or what clothes to wear to school… all the things. Tune in! Here are the main points discussed in Season 1 Episode 9: ● Children learn a lot more on their terms when interested in something vs when forced- think of people’s careers; they mainly remember what’s in their field, not all the other subjects that don’t help their career. ● Clarifying that unschooling is simply child-led learning; when they're curious about something, you help them dig into it using different tools and resources. ● Difference between learning vs being taught and how you don't need to be taught to learn but be exposed, interested and have resources to explore it. ● How parents can practically make the switch if they firmly support unschooling and want to apply it. ● The importance of being open as a parent is to let them change their interests after being exposed; allow them to change their mind if they are no longer interested in it. Tip: Don’t invest in expensive resources- they’re still kids and their interests change. ● How she makes Unschooling possible without screens ● The danger of leaving them in front of the screen for entertainment as we make them dependent. Make it a treat or learning tool rather than a go-to for entertainment + how parents who are working all the time can incorporate unschooling by respecting their journey with it. ● Long term effects of kids these days not being outside and reasons we’re not embracing outside knowing that we ourselves used to be outside all the time. Reasons such as how obsessed we’ve become with educating our kids to a high degree as to go to college and get a good job and overscheduling them all of their childhood. ● Honesty about the criticism she gets for choosing to live like this + the anxiety. ● Being aware that there are many ways to still socialize without school and how with regular school punishing them to be quiet whenever they break a rule, it often doesn’t even allow them to have a voice like unschooling does. Moreover, in that space they’re limited only to their age group when in the real world as an adult, you have to interact with everybody and learn from them. ● Difference between a cool op and private schools and private schools there isn't as much control as a parent. ● Parental development for the homeschool space. ● Husband adjustment to homeschooling life as husbands tend to not be on board. To find Carrie, she is Carrie Paxton Herzberger on Facebook Website: Carrie@carriecares.co Free gift: 73 activities to do this summer.

The Importance of a Break from the Ordinary with Mara Kazantzaki

Have you ever heard of a Motherhood Architect? Well, it’s 2022. Not only is that a real thing, but don’t you agree that there’s no other time like today to break free from the traditional notion of motherhood? At least that’s what today’s guest inspires women to do- her name is Mara Kazantzaki, International Lifestyle Consultant and Change Maker for Moms. In today’s episode, she shares what led to her breaking free from the traditional paths of both the rat race from “working corporate” with BBC followed by doing the extreme opposite to stay home to take care of her newborn then changing everything and moving to Thailand with her family. Clearly, she was successful in rewiring her brain and lifestyle to put herself first and we just had to share her journey of what went into that. In this episode, you’ll find that her studies in Thailand, at the highest level in BreathWork and Meditation, have such relevant and impactful solutions to reforming how we do motherhood now compared to the past. From the deep effects of mom guilt and negative inner talk, many moms are dying to get unstuck and Mara is dying to free as many moms as she can. Ready to learn how you can rewire your brain and lifestyle to have a satisfying mom life and live ‘beyond motherhood? Have a listen! Here are the main points discussed in Season 1 Episode 4: ●  How and where moms can start relearning what they’ve been taught about motherhood and understanding that it’s not only okay but vital to put themselves first. ●  How villages no longer exist for many moms and they are being drained, as the majority of the time, they are the parent always being called upon for responsibilities because of how we have been conditioned. ●  The importance of setting boundaries with people but recognizing that the work really starts from within us as moms. ●  How vital it is to release all the guilt from the beginning before you can move forward with relearning your role and lifestyle as a mom. ●  That we have to be the ones to re-parent and give ourselves the self-compassion we need as a very effective way of removing all the mom guilt. By practicing this self-compassion, that is how we recondition ourselves to be free and fulfilled. ●  Using gratitude to mute the silent abuser of negative self-talk, i.e that ongoing inner critic that preaches that we “should have done better” or known better. ●  Making use of the modalities like yoga and meditation to help us to learn to emotionally self-regulate + “Attacking the layers from the physical to the mental and then emotional” ●  Daily “Me-time” suggestions for moms apart from the typical doing their nails and observing how much more in tune we are with our bodies. You can reach out to Mara on Instagram at @Marabeyond on her personal page or @Beyondmotherhood and visit her website beyondmotherhood.com for free resources. Here’s what you can look forward to from Mara: 1)  She’s launching a community to share with all moms around the world 2)  Making space for a meeting room for 4hrs to meet with moms to facilitate guidance and create a blueprint for them to know what to do next based on where they are in their unique journey 3)  Retreats to take moms away from their situation and into nature to start the process reframing their state of mind and wellbeing with the different modalities + taking moms out at night JUST TO SLEEP!
