Does your child push every boundary, question every rule, and seem immune to traditional parenting strategies? 

Parent coach Mary Van Geffen returns to discuss "spicy ones"—the intense, strong-willed children (about 20% of kids) who feel everything deeply and need a radically different approach. 

She shares why these passionate trailblazers require a radically different kind of support and how adults can shift from control and correction to attunement and regulation.

Mary takes us through:

—Who the “spicy ones” are, and how to reframe "strong-willed"

—How your own nervous system and need for control affect the parent-child dynamic

—Why modeling matters more than demands when dealing with demonstrative children

—Using heavy body work and movement to help kids process big feelings appropriately

—Why standard approaches often fail with high-intensity temperaments

—How your parenting role must shift dramatically as spicy kids enter the tween and teen years

And so much more!

Mary Van Geffen is an international parenting coach and parent educator for overwhelmed moms of strong-willed & Spicy Children™. She teaches monthly workshops to help moms gain confidence to choose gentle, respectful parenting, especially if they weren’t raised that way.

Ever wondered if what feels like a breakdown might actually be a breakthrough in disguise?

In this week’s episode, Aimee sits down with David Hulse, a spiritual guide who bridges traditional religious doctrines with contemporary spiritual insights. 

They explore how to turn your darkest moments into your greatest awakenings by shifting from "spirit" to "energy" consciousness. 

David takes us through:

- The science and spirituality behind frequency and vibration

- Why nervous system disruptions might signal spiritual evolution, not illness

- How 5th-dimensional energy impacts your physical body through the nervous system

- Why your etheric blueprint is the cause, and your body is the effect

- The difference between "I am [label]" and infinite "I am" consciousness

- Practical ways to integrate frequency healing into daily life

And so much more!

David Hulse is a vibrant spiritual guide who bridges traditional doctrines with contemporary spiritual insights. David has decades of experience as a minister, teacher, author, and healer, and has journeyed from a fundamentalist Christian upbringing to an inclusive spiritual vista that champions love over fear.

In his earlier years, David's spiritual awakening was ignited by a profound spiritual encounter that led him to reexamine his inherited beliefs and recognize the divine as truths veiled in parables, not confined to literal interpretations. This "cellular awakening" revealed the potential intelligence in human cells, redefining his perception of divinity and humanity's interconnectedness. 

David is the Founder and Spiritual Guide at the Academy for Spiritual Awakening, where his teachings weave together diverse spiritual traditions with modern scientific insights, inspiring individuals to move beyond mere belief in God toward experiencing the divine within themselves.

He integrates wisdom from spiritual avatars across ages, emphasizing the co-creative, transformative power of aligning with divine consciousness through prayer, meditation, and contemplation. Dedicated to challenging conventional religious dogmas, David offers a message of unconditional love, inclusivity, the power of gnosis: direct knowledge from Source.
David’s teachings uniquely "bridge the gap" between a 3D material world and a 5D spiritual awakening, guiding individuals on a transformative journey toward higher consciousness. He calls upon light workers to embrace their roles as co-creators in this shift, helping humanity transcend the limitations of the 3D matrix. David empowers your listeners to embody their true spiritual potential, fostering a global spiritual evolution.

Additionally, we talks somatics, “parenting”, healing the ego and the way emotions and memories are stored in our bodies and can be accessed and released through gentle attention and inquiry.
