Spiritually Initiated Parenting with Drs. Lauren & Bill Moss – Details, episodes & analysis

We’ve all had the feeling— you “just knew” you needed to check on your child just as they were doing something dangerous or needed some support. That “gut feeling”, or intuition, is a spiritual gift that many ignore… and some exploit! In this episode we talk about the best ways to tap into and leverage parental intuition and some pitfalls to avoid when wielding your intuitive gifts.

Join us for a fun and fast dive into Lauren’s fave takeaways from this gem of a little book! Like, how to effectively use the word “may” and you might have been taught inaccurate information about how many senses you have (hint, it’s NOT 5!). Lots of practical nuggets to help support your child’s spiritual development came from this read, especially for parents of littles 0-7 years old.

We aren’t talking about collaborators or donors here, kids! We are talking about the inherited systems, beliefs, and behaviors which influence our parenting that we all run until we consciously decide we won’t anymore. Tune in to discover some simple ways to interrupt subconscious parenting programming and what to replace these programs with in order to have healthier relational patterns and interactions with our children in addition to personal growth as parents.

Our first book review! We learned SO much by reading Rahima Baldwin Dancy’s book “You Are Your Child’s First Teacher” and had a ton of fun talking about it while recording this episode! Tune in to hear how many stars it was awarded, our favorite take-always, and ideas for implementing some of the best spiritual parenting nuggets provided in the book.

Many of us are taught to “honor thy father”, but in this episode we celebrate the role of fatherhood by interviewing co-host, Bill, about how becoming a father has helped him grow spiritually and how he conceptualizes the role of ‘father’ through a spiritual lens.

Pretty much everyone agrees that education is a mess these days, yet many educators, parents, and administrators haven’t invited spirituality into the conversation related to how things can be improved! 

In this episode we welcome Katlyn Boucher, an educator, parent consultant healer, spiritual warrior, and spiritual guide, to share her wisdom and expertise for all of us looking for a new way to invite all parts of our children into the educational experience.

Trigger Warning: If you are into blaming others for your parenting challenges, don’t listen to this episode! But What is an “emotional trigger”? What can you learn from what triggers you? How can you respond to triggers in a way that is growth-fostering rather than map-adaptive or enabling? We answer these questions and give some additional insights into how triggers inform and shape our parenting... if we let them.

Do I need to join a church or cult? Do all spiritually initiated parents play with crystals and wear patchouli oil? What prayers or rituals do I need to do? You might be surprised to hear some of our responses! Listen in to hear perspectives— some light and some deep— on the most common myths related to spiritual parenting.
