Modeling Financial Confidence for our Children with Allegra Moet Brantly24 Jul 202300:57:11

I chose to do this episode for all of the women and mothers specifically who, like me, wanted a resource to become more empowered, excited and confident when it comes to investing, building and managing wealth...

Allegra tailored Factora Wealth with exactly that demographic in mind and I am so happy to be a part of her community, and now her a part of mine.  Being what you wish to teach your children includes this very important, yet uncomfortable for some, detail.  How do we view, manage, and build wealth? What shifts can we make for a healthier, more educated, empowered experience with money?

Allegra and I will talk about that in this episode! Thanks for listening, XO

Your Kids Need you to Stop Playing a Role and Start *Being* Part I of Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth 21 Jul 202301:54:13

What roles have we cultivated for ourselves to prove our lovability and value to the people and world around us?  How does identifying with these roles impact us and our children?

In this episode we are breaking down allllll the roles and the reason for them as well as the alternative that is truly going to give us what we want: Real authentic connection and a deep sense of recognition.

Approaching Infant and Toddler Sleep in a Conscious Way with Taylor Kulik13 Jul 202301:17:45

"How is your baby sleeping?" "Is she sleeping through the night?" "Oh he's not in a crib yet?" "Oh she's in a floor bed?" "How many naps does she take?" ... I could keep going on and on, but you get it.

Sleep is one of the most interesting and challenging aspects of life as a parent, AND... life as a new person! Learning your baby while they learn their body and about the world around them, their level of safety and security, your availability... it can all be so, well, exhausting!  

But in this episode I wanted to ease some of the pain by simply focusing on what we CAN control (our mindset), what IS developmentally normal, what IS true when it comes to our babies and their sleep.

I hope it's empowering and helpful for you to listen.

How Understanding the Ego will make Conscious Parenting Easier22 Jun 202301:05:00

While I'm all about sharing specific examples regarding a conscious relationship with our children, without a grasp on the ego and it's influence in every day interactions, REactions, and behavior... it will surely remain a challenge to implement.

For this reason, I've decided to do a 4-episode long mini book club of Eckhart Tolle's book, "A New Earth" in hopes to give a thorough overview of what the Ego even is, where it comes from in us, both individually and societally, and what it looks like in real time throughout your day and life with your children and everyone else.

Moving forward with this awareness will allow for more peace, more joy, more confidence and fulfillment for you as a parent, a spouse, and the beautiful person that you are.

I hope you enjoy, and stay tuned for the next 3 episodes! : )

Slow Living and Conscious Parenting are Besties, with Madisun Gray15 Jun 202301:44:29

Madisun Gray in the house!  If you've ever thought that your life is too crazy, your kids are too wild, and you don't have the patience to truly implement conscious parenting in your lifestyle... We have brought this episode to tell you that maybe none of that is actually true!  Perhaps your pace of living and doing and go, go, go-ing is making a conscious awareness to life and parenting impossible for you.  Or at the very least, hard.  

It's time to romanticize your life, from the way your curtains blow in the breeze when you open a window, to the softness of your sweet baby's belly during nap time cuddles... we want you to slow down, to soften, to enjoy.  To be here, right now and to take that mindset of richness with you moving forward.  

Hope you enjoy!

Here's where to find us!

Children Aren't Born with a Worthiness Blueprint, We give it to Them11 Nov 202201:08:51

In this episode I uncover the root issue of almost all uncomfortable circumstances, interactions with our children, with our loved ones, and within ourselves... Self-esteem and our "scale" of lovability that was cultivated for us by our parents and their parents and so on.

Let's break down the real definition of self-esteem and how each and every person is deserving of this feeling of worthiness, of value, of lovability along with how to unravel the subconscious need in many of us to seek outward evidence of that within ourselves and prevent our children from ever needing to do the same.  

The Most Unhelpful Parenting Mindset, and the Helpful Shift to Adopt13 Oct 202200:53:17

In this episode we'll go over a simple mindset shift that will dramatically improve your relationship with your children, help you become a more conscious, present individual, and honestly... just enjoy being a parent so much more.

How do Children of Conscious Parents Learn about Consequences?22 Sep 202200:49:51

Are you concerned that your children need to "Learn their lesson" when they make a mistake or a bad decision?  Do you think punitive measures are the best methodology for learning in those moments for our children?  Did they work well for us?

In this episode I'll help parents really think more deeply about this concept by reflecting on a real-life experience with my almost 5-year-old son this past winter and how my son got a very clear understanding of the consequences of his actions in a healthy way...

Thank you so much for listening,

A little breakdown on setting limits and boundaries with our children in a respectful way.  Not a simple, easy task... but definitely one worth more consideration than, "because I said so."

The Key Fundamental for Better Days as a Parent30 Jun 202200:28:11

In this episode I share with you my favorite and most fundamental for having great days and fostering an awesome relationship with my children and really... anyone.  

What is Conscious Parenting & What is it... Not22 Jun 202200:31:29

Just a simple discussion around the basics!  Understanding what conscious parenting really is and what it isn't so you can move forward more confidently in your daily parenting practice and relationships.  

Getting on Board with Respectful Parenting: A Real and Raw Conversation with my Formerly Behaviorist Mom08 Jun 202201:37:38

One of the most common questions I receive as a parenting coach and consultant is "How do I get __________ on board with respectful parenting?"  Usually referring to spouses, grandparents and in-laws.  People often wonder or assume that because I confidently teach this methodology that I myself was raised with it, but it is in fact not the case at all!

My mom was willing to have a vulnerable open discussion with me during this episode about her first impression of what I share and practice, her own experience as a mother to me and my three siblings, and lots more.  

I hope that hearing her perspective and mindset shift as well as experience as well as my interpretation of all of it, the before, after and in-between, will be valuable to you in navigating this for yourselves and your families.

Welcome! My Story and What's in it for You01 Jun 202200:29:01

In this first episode I simply introduce myself and my intentions for The Mellow Mama Podcast.  
After years of simplifying and sharing the work and ideas of so many incredible physicians and experts in the field of conscious living and childrearing online, I've decided to bring it here to the podcast format for more conversation, community and overall accessibility to people and parents everywhere.
My intention is and will always be to give away my take on great information with the hopes of also giving away my experience as a mom, which has been one full of presence, healing, connection, authenticity and joy.  For real.

Nonviolent Communication will Change your Life and Parenting Pt 104 Jan 202401:17:18

A new mini book club series on another one of my all-time favorite books! Nonviolent Communication by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg.  

Starting with the first two chapters & developing a foundation for healthier communication skills with anyone in your life focusing on these four pillars:
Observations, Feelings, Needs, and Requests.

As we proceed with reviewing this material you will feel more confident in expressing yourself, but even more importantly... become a better listener and observer.  Getting more in-tune and deeply curious about the people around you and what it is they really need and are asking for.  Even if... if isn't being asked for in a nonviolent way.
