| S10|18 - Encounters: Triggers as Teachers | 12 May 2025 | 00:28:29 | |
Learning is circular… every turn around we learn something newer or deeper… life is a series of learning the same lessons over and over again, hopefully to more depth (or with a slightly different flavour)… thus we welcome our triggers, and know that there is a gift in them. As we “encounter”, or “meet with the adversary” we can grow, learn, and change who we are… finding more congruence in our being, lives, and relationships. In this episode:

| S10|17 - Beyond Wealth | 05 May 2025 | 00:28:27 | |
Wealth is much more than physical prosperity… it includes feelings of overflowing love, abundant time, and success that you feel on the inside, not just on the outside. The feeling of wealth is what creates more. We are the creators of wealth and can intentionally allow ourselves to receive more through our energy.

| S10|16 - Intuitive Parenting | 28 Apr 2025 | 00:31:48 | |
Over the last 4+ years of this podcast I have spoken about connection-based parenting, what’s blocking us, and how to move through those blocks. I have noticed my perspective and beliefs change towards my kids, and about parenting, and I feel very differently than I used to. I want to share my last little (and big) insights about parenting, and where I’m at now, and why it’s precisely what the next generation needs. In the episode today:

| S10|15 - Nourished with Dr. Deborah Macnamara | 21 Apr 2025 | 00:42:40 | |
Feeding our kids has much more to do with relationship and connection- than it does with actual food. Connected and supportive family meals can be super simple, but lead to deep relationships, higher literacy and better digestion. Tune into our conversation on the podcast today, as I interview Dr. Deborah Macnamara, a Developmentalist and founder of Kid's Best Bet Counselling who makes sense of kids for the adults responsible for raising them. She "translates developmental science into practical love” according to Gabor Maté, through her work as a counselor, author, teacher, and researcher. In this episode:

| S10|14 - How to Raise Awesome Kids | 14 Apr 2025 | 00:34:03 | |
You have an awesome kid!! Truly. Once you see that, and fully believe it, it’ll change everything. If we want to raise kids who are emotionally intelligent, self-trusting and resilient… one thing is clear: we can’t just show them how to distract themselves from discomfort, which is what we see so often in the world. We must teach them how to be with their discomfort, deeply… and learn and grow from it. In today’s episode:

| S10|13 - The Energy of Abundance with Maren Rasmussen | 07 Apr 2025 | 00:34:33 | |
Money has energy- and increasing our capacity to receive in one area of our life, increases all others too. If you want more wealth, more love, more connection, more fun… tapping into the energy of what you want is key. Tune into this conversation with me, and my own energy worker, Maren Rasmussen as we discuss all things energy. Maren is the owner of Living Awake with Maren. She is a certified life coach through The Life Coach School and has been doing energy work for 15 years and loves the beautiful gift she has to see energy and help her clients shift and change. Maren has witnessed the powerful combination of life coaching and energy work. In today’s episode:

| S10|12 - Raising Critical Thinkers with Julie Bogart | 31 Mar 2025 | 00:55:20 | |
It takes less than a minute on social media to notice that there is a skill that is lacking in our world: critical thinking. It’s not what you might think… sitting in a stuffy classroom, reading texts, thinking about them and deciding what’s right or wrong. Critical thinking is MUCH deeper than that, and MUCH more important in our world today. If there is one skill you want to teach your teens today- this is it. Join Julie Bogart and I on the podcast this week for a fascinating conversation on what critical thinking is, and what it is not. Julie is known for her commonsense writing, critical thinking and home education advice. Her podcast and social media are wildly popular sources of support to weary, well-intentioned parents. Julie home educated her five children who are now globe-trotting adults. Today, Julie lives in Cincinnati, Ohio. What we delve into today:

| S10|11 - Mouth-Breathing, Behaviour Issues and Jaw Growth with Dr. Ben Miraglia | 24 Mar 2025 | 00:43:05 | |
Did you know that years ago our mouths were big enough to fit wisdom teeth comfortably? And that jaw growth has decreased significantly over the last 100 years? You’ll be surprised to hear how jaw growth, mouth-breathing and behaviour in kids (including ADHD-like symptoms) are all interconnected. Today we chat with Dr. Ben Miraglia, a graduate of SUNY at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine and the United States Dental Institute, who has been in private practice for over 20 years. In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Miraglia serves as the Chief Dental Officer at Toothpillow, a preventative, pre-orthodontic system designed to correct and support proper jaw development, promoting nasal breathing and preventing many health problems. Toothpillow addresses the root causes of misaligned teeth, often without the need for braces or tooth extraction. In today’s conversation:

| S10|10 - Preventing Imposter Syndrome in the Next Generation with Dr. Lisa Orbé-Austin | 17 Mar 2025 | 00:37:17 | |
Imposter syndrome is connected to our childhood, as so many things are… but there are a few truths that are important to know: You aren’t stuck with imposter syndrome, just because you deal with it now… you can change; There are specific ways of parenting that can help prevent imposter syndrome in the next generation. Join Dr. Lisa Orbé-Austin and I, as we discuss this important topic. Lisa is a licensed psychologist and executive coach. She earned her doctorate in counseling psychology from Columbia University.

| S10|09 - Power of Belief | 10 Mar 2025 | 00:21:44 | |
Thoughts create our reality- but our beliefs shape everything. Our attachment to those thoughts, especially the ones about US and our identity matters most. As we do the work of non-attachment, recognize beliefs we hold, and shift them- we feel success on the inside and manifest it on the outside. In today’s episode you’ll hear:

| S10|08 - How to Prep for Kids Moving Out | 03 Mar 2025 | 00:21:56 | |
I just came back from visiting our ‘adult’ child and pondering on what has made our relationship successful and connected- and what helped with his readiness to move out. On the episode today I’ll share 3 things that are integral to a healthy parent-child relationship, and how we can prep emotionally for them moving out- in a way that benefits them.

Georgie Wisen-Vincent, LMFT, RPT-S, ECMHS is a nationally recognized play therapy expert and co-author (with Dr. Tina Payne Bryson) of the new book -- THE WAY OF PLAY, and she joins me today to tackle these questions and more.

| S10|06 - Trust Your Kids | 17 Feb 2025 | 00:24:36 | |
If I were to write a parenting book THIS would be my thesis. It’s one thing I find missing in the parenting sphere… what if we trusted our kids more? Why don’t we? What was our childhood around trusting ourselves, our body, our wisdom… and how is that playing out in our own parenting? Join me today in this workshop-style episode, where we’ll really get to the root of distrust, and learn why it’s integral for a wholesome childhood. In today’s episode:

How do you balance kids’ natural curiosity and imaginative play with the constantly evolving tech and screens? When is too early, or too late to give your teen or tween a smartphone? We dig into this important and necessary conversation today on the podcast with Andrea Davis from Better Screen Time. Andrea is a former secondary ed teacher turned screen-time-navigator. She is the founder of Better Screen Time where she shares family-tested ideas from the (tech) trenches as a mom of five. She is on a mission to help parents take the slow tech road. In this episode:

| S10|04 - How to Raise an Un-Rebellious Teen | 03 Feb 2025 | 00:28:29 | |
The other day I was chatting with my teens about staying up late, and the thought came to me: “They don’t rebel because they have nothing to rebel against”. I’m not advocating for boundary-less and teaching-less homes… but you may be surprised to hear that you can parent teens without the rebellion, and with a deep and connected relationship, that lasts long past teenage-hood, and throughout their lifetime. Let’s start where I end the episode, “You’ll never regret loving them more”- me. In today’s episode:

| S10|02 - Movement and Play in Parenting with Dr. Lori Baudino | 20 Jan 2025 | 00:31:36 | |
Kids are movers… they are meant to move, and their movement is always communicating to us. We can use this knowledge to help them through fears, worries and stressors, as we integrate both their brain and bodies. We can begin to view children as the wise souls that they are and believe that they know what their bodies need. Join me in this conversation today with Dr. Lori Baudino, who has been a practicing clinician for over 20 years. Her work is grounded in the belief that the mind, body, and spirit are interconnected. Her work is helping to change the way we think about health and healing, and she is inspiring people all over the world to celebrate and move together! What we chat about today:

| S09|20 - Help for the Holidays: Anxiety and Other Big Emotions | 23 Dec 2024 | 00:35:04 | |
The Holidays can be hard. In past years I’ve dealt with intense soap-opera-esque family drama (we would have made a great reality TV show years ago). I wish I had the tools and awareness back then that I have now, but everything came in the timing it needed to. So, if you’ve stumbled across this podcast, maybe this is the timing that these ideas needed to come to you too.

| S09|19 - My Self-Help Journey | 16 Dec 2024 | 00:41:11 | |
My healing journey included a ton of books, research, guides, teachers (and time) that all dropped in just when I needed them (less of self-help and more of a community project I guess!). I don’t even recognize the self that I was 5 years ago- negative attachment patterns, emotional dysregulation, indecision and overwhelm. But even when I had changed so much of that 2-3 years ago, I was still stuck in “hustle” and tapped out of my own inner wisdom. Time doesn’t heal all wounds- but time spent healing, heals. And my favourite reminder before you listen in: Healing is remembering… you aren’t broken. You never were. Healing is the process of coming back to that Truth. Join me in my new 1:1 coaching container for 12 months, and see what kind of life you can create through intuition, manifestation and trust: www.coachcrystal.ca/miracle (I’m also closing down my one-off open coaching session hours starting in January.

What is possible in a year? How much have you changed over the last 1 year, 5 years, or 10 years? What else is possible? The part of healing that we talk about often is deconstruction around what’s keeping you stuck and moving through that… but the other half is CREATION- making possible the kind of life you want, especially the seemingly impossible things. I share my formula for creation, so you can join me for your own Miracle Year (or coach with me through your Miracle Year HERE). Join The Miracle Year HERE In today’s episode:

On this podcast, we love to talk about shame-free everything… It’s easy to see how our parenting can trend toward shame, and I hope listening in has helped that change in little (or big) ways.

| S09|08 - Shame-Free Parenting | 30 Sep 2024 | 00:43:19 | |
“Because I said so”, “You’re making me mad!”, “Why can’t you be more like your sister?!”, “Stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about!” … sound familiar? Parenting in the 80s and 90s (and before) was shame-based to the core, and it’s still affecting us and our parenting now, in ways we can’t often see. 5 Days to Shame-Free Parenting: Join us HERE Join the program: Shame-Free Parenting Movement: HERE In Today’s Episode:

Our beliefs about our kids matter, and we can be one of the greatest influences of their lives. Intentional parenting can set us up to help support our kids through any challenge and instill them with beliefs that will help them achieve true success (not just the type of success that we’re socialized to believe matters most). In this episode:

Neurodivergent kids need to be supported both in the home and in the classroom to thrive and grow. ADHD and anxiety seem to be on the rise, but schools aren’t always creating the most effective environment for the growth to happen. In this episode I am joined by Dr Emily in a conversation around supporting learning in the classroom for neurodivergent kids, and how this support can help all kids too. In this episode:

| S09|03 - Questioning our Subconscious Beliefs | 26 Aug 2024 | 00:28:14 | |
Children should be seen and not heard. Big money makes you evil. Negative emotions should be avoided at all costs. I make others mad, sad or happy with me. I should shove down my ideas and intuition and listen to others that are older, wiser and more experienced than me. Don’t believe these anymore? Yup, me neither. But that doesn’t mean that my subconscious isn’t bringing these beliefs along and affecting me and my current reality. In this episode we cover:

| S09|02 - Growth from Resistance | 19 Aug 2024 | 00:25:52 | |
We don’t build muscles, without first breaking them down… and the breaking down feels very uncomfortable. This is the same theme for all growth in life, it’s uncomfortable to break down. It doesn’t feel good to dig inward and notice where our resistance is, but on the other side of resistance is the most magical growth and life that we could imagine. In this episode:

| S09|01 - Somatic Practices to Move Through Emotions | 12 Aug 2024 | 00:35:03 | |
Emotions are messages, and we aren’t often open to listening to them- they feel too big, too much, or never ending. in the process of ignoring and suppressing these messages from our body, we may feel tension, pain, discomfort, illness or disease. In this episode we go over hypnotic visualizations, somatic practices and inner child work to help us allow, accept and welcome all big emotions. It is in the welcoming of them, that they lessen and open us up to experience life in a fuller way and help others with their emotions too. In this episode:

| S08|25 - The Art of Receiving (a meditation) | 01 Jul 2024 | 00:26:24 | |
Receiving comes from the root word take-back… are we taking in what is ours? All the love, connection, opportunities, wealth and abundance around us? Self-worth can block us from receiving all there is for us, and this episode and meditation will open us up for more.

| S08|24 - Creating Connection and Support in Our Homes | 24 Jun 2024 | 00:30:37 | |

| S08|23 - Growth Mindset, Fixed Mindset, and Toxic Achievement Culture | 17 Jun 2024 | 00:25:55 | |
Sometimes the best prize of all isn’t a trophy. In a culture where outcome production and tangible results are celebrated, how do we teach our kids to accept all parts of themselves- mistakes, bumps in the road, big emotions, and all? Join this conversation with Chasta Hamilton and me, as we discuss this topic and her new children’s book “The Trophy Trap”. Orphaned as a child, Chasta found comfort in the creativity, play, and catharsis of the performing arts. This led to a life as an arts entrepreneur, where she believes that everyone has the power to reach their fullest potential and disrupt the status quo in an empowering and inspiring way. She’s a founder and CEO as well as a bestselling author (Trash the Trophies and Handle the Horrible) and speaker (TEDx: “You Weren’t Built to Break”). Today you’ll hear:
