Open conversation and discussion around conscious living and parenting inspired by all of my favorite books, resources and of course my own personal experience as a mom and person.
The Mellow Mama Podcast is a truly life-changing podcast. As a listener, I have experienced immense joy and ease in my journey of parenthood, thanks to the invaluable knowledge and wisdom shared by Kait. Unlike many of my friends who find parenting burdensome and stressful, Kait has taught me how to approach parenting with consciousness and mindfulness. Her perspective has not only improved my relationship with my daughter but has also made me a better wife, sister, daughter, and friend. I cannot express enough gratitude for the positive impact she has had on my life.
One of the best aspects of The Mellow Mama Podcast is the wealth of knowledge it provides. Kait has been a trusted resource for me even before I became pregnant with my first baby. From informative episodes to recommended books and resources, this podcast offers everything needed to navigate parenthood with confidence and grace. Kait's clear and concise information has empowered me to make informed decisions and create a nurturing environment for my child.
Another aspect that sets this podcast apart is Kait's genuine passion for conscious living and parenting. Her enthusiasm shines through her words, making each episode engaging and inspiring. It is evident that she truly cares about helping parents cultivate strong connections with their children while also fostering personal growth within themselves. The relatable anecdotes she shares create a sense of camaraderie among listeners, making us feel like we are part of a supportive community.
While it is challenging to find any significant flaws in The Mellow Mama Podcast, one potential drawback could be the limited range of topics covered. Although Kait offers valuable insights into conscious living and parenting, it would be beneficial if she expanded her scope to include other related areas such as education or child psychology. Nevertheless, considering the depth of content already available on her podcast, this critique is minor compared to the overall value provided.
In conclusion, The Mellow Mama Podcast is an absolute gem in the world of parenting podcasts. Kait's guidance and wisdom have transformed my approach to parenting, leading to profound joy and ease in my journey. Whether you are a parent or not, this podcast offers invaluable insights into conscious living and personal growth. I highly recommend diving into the episodes to discover the transformative power of this podcast for yourself. Prepare to be inspired, motivated, and forever changed by Kait's incredible knowledge and genuine passion.

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.Here's my course and other online products!www.themellowmama.orgInstagram:@themellowmamaTikTok:@themellowmama_YouTube:The Mellow Mama
In this episode, we'll continue our discussion on Eckhart Tolle's book, A New Earth. This time focusing on Chapter 6, and becoming free from the Pain Body. If you have ever felt shame around being ... less than "mellow," ... if the concepts of Conscious parenting don't come easily or naturally to you, this episode will help you look at your patterns in a new light. My hope is that you listen to this and feel empowered, encouraged, uplifted AND equipped moving forward into more present days to come.Here's my course:www.themellowmama.orgInstagram:@themellowmamaTikTok:@themellowmama_YouTube:The Mellow MamaThe book discussed here:A New Earth, Eckhart Tolle
In this episode we take a look at the significant impact our childhood and adolescent experiences have on our ability to communicate and connect in our romantic partnerships as adult people, helpful tools for conflict, and some simple adjustments to step away from old patterns and into new, intentional ones.Thank you for listening!Follow:@meet_thefreemans@themellowmama
In this episode we're talking all about the Pain Body! What it s, what is looks like and feels like and how it inevitably effects all of your relationships, but especially the relationship you have with your children.
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!

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.Here's my course:www.themellowmama.orgInstagram:@themellowmamaTikTok:@themellowmama_YouTube:The Mellow MamaThe book discussed here:A New Earth, Eckhart Tolle
"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.Taylor's Instagram:@taylorkulikTaylor's Website:Taylorkulik.comMy webiste/course:www.themellowmama.orgMy Instagram:@themellowmama
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! : ) Instagram:@themellowmamaTikTok:@themellowmama_YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKqMWEJeFZcThe Book!Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth
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.

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.
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.For my Course and other Products:www.themellowmama.orgInstagram:@themellowmamaTikTok:@themellowmama_Youtube:The Mellow Mama
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,XO, MMMy Online Course:https://parenting-and-re-parenting-guide-10.teachable.com/p/parenting-and-re-parenting-guide-1-0Use code: SUBSCRIBER10 for 10% off!

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.
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.
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.
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.
