"Codependency is one of the only relational blueprints we have been given relationally, and we're ready for a new template for love to dance in new ways." -Kylie McBeath It's not our fault we've been given this pattern, but it is a choice whether we continue to live it. In episode 44, Kylie McBeath shares her insight on some common roadblocks people encounter on their path towards self actualization. Coming home to self, codependency, and embodiment are a few topics discussed today. These core pillars contribute to Kylie's growth and current place of wisdom as she continues on her path. Hopefully you can find a few pearls to take with you from her honesty and journey. You may know Kylie as @beingisbeautiful on Instagram or her podcast, "The Journey Home" where shares a lot of her journey with us. Kylie is a mother, writer and soul-doula who supports women in breaking out of codependent patterns and remembering their soul's purpose.

What's your focus this year? Mine is SOUL LOVE if you couldn't already tell from the title. :) Many of us start the New Year intending to improve our BODY. We start a new workout program, diet, or eat differently. Other years we intend to strengthen the MIND. We improve our productivity habits, meditate, and focus our energy on improving the mind. But how many years have you focused your energy on your SOUL? Strengthening our sacred connection to the soul can be easily overshadowed by the promises of a beach body or greater productivity in our workday. But we must not forget that we are a triad: a body, mind, and soul. Let's do it differently this year! Let's honor our inner light in 2023. If you'd like to join me in strengthening your connection to your SOUL, I invite you to join me in my SOUL LOVE challenge. Learn more about SOUL LOVE and my SOUL LOVE CHALLENGE on the podcast and check out my Instagram for the visual and details. Every day is a new opportunity to start fresh, and the buzz and excitement of a NEW YEAR gives us that extra little boost we may need to kick our butts in gear!

People can tell you to let go and surrender all day long, but until you are ready to surrender it's just white noise. Today's episode took an unexpected beautiful turn. Dr. Gina's guest co-host, Ali Britton, has been on a fertility journey for the past seven years. Anyone who can relate knows just how hard and devastating this path can feel. You want the outcome of a baby so badly that your life can easily become consumed with doing anything you possibly can to just "get it right." No one will ever know why things happen the way they do, but sometimes gifts are birthed from the pain. Sometimes. Listen to hear Ali and Gina share how grief forced them both into surrender. Learning to receive the simple but incredibly powerful gifts of life is a true gift of life itself. If you enjoyed today's episode reach out and share your reflections with Gina on Instagram or email gina@theschoolofhigherconsciousness.com.

In 2009 Anabel found herself faced with divorce, debt and a whole list of financial problems.  She slowed down and asked herself, "What will I teach my son about what is valuable for a fulfilled life?"  This question put her on an entirely different journey.   In today's episode you will hear and feel Anabel's passion through the microphone as she shares some of her spiritual understandings that help people trust their awakening process by reconnecting to their core feminine source of wisdom.  Anabel shares her beliefs on healing, inner knowings, creativity, universal religion, raising children in alignment with their higher self and so much more.   Anabel works with women one-on-one, in retreat settings, and in online programs to help them express their genius by balancing their Masculine/Feminine energies, clearing karmic/ancestral patterns, and elevating their overall frequency.   Feminine energy is so much more than tapping into your feelings and painting a picture.  Today's episode shines light on the full spectrum of feminine energy that we have the potential of accessing and expressing, no matter your gender.

I have been using the words "embody" and "embodiment" as part of my everyday language recently. My husband asked me, "What do you mean by embodiment?" It took me some thought to describe it to him. Using language to describe a feeling, an experience, is conflicting in itself. Today's HOTSEAT episode explores the concept of embodiment. Anyone interested in self development, higher consciousness, or 'waking up' will find themselves encountering this word at some point in your journey. Have you thought about this word before? What does it mean to you? I would love to hear your reflection to today's HOTSEAT question. Find me on Instagram or send me an email at gina@theschoolofhigherconsciousness.com.

Inserting needles into the body to help you heal is not logical, but dreaming at night doesn't make any sense either.

Isn't it bizarre that several years of schooling is required to become a professional, yet there is no formal education needed to raise human beings?! "I turned out fine" is said on the regular to justify many parenting decisions today. Parents are conditioned to draw from their own upbringing and instincts as their primary methods of parenting, effective or not. Personal life experience will forever guide parents preferences and decision making; however, today's growing research emphasizes the value of intentional parenting practices. If we want to create healthy parent-child relationships, we must become more intentional in our parenting. In this episode you will hear Bryana Kappadakunnel, also known as @consciousmommy on Instagram, share her passion and knowledge on Conscious Parenting, a parenting style that prioritizes the connection of the parent-child relationship. Conscious parenting is anchored in parent self-awareness and challenges parents to become mindful of their own behaviors and reactions, and the impact they have on the relationship. Conscious parenting is often synonymous with respectful or gentle parenting, but it is not to be confused with permissive parenting. This episode is valuable for any parent who desires a strong relationship with their child. Bryana is a wealth of knowledge and shares practical information along with thought provoking takeaways. In addition to hosting valuable workshops and classes, Bryana is a licensed marriage and family therapist, board-certified perinatal mental health specialist, and an endorsed infant-family early childhood mental health specialist. Below you will find her social media accounts linked below along with some books she recommends for parents who want to learn more.

How often do you bring joy, humor, love, empathy, and compassion into your relationships?  How about gossip, defensiveness, competition, or control?  The first HOTSEAT episode asks you to reflect on your consciousness levels within an intimate relationship that you have with someone in your life. Listen to Dr. Gina explain what HOTSEAT episodes are and how to interact with the HOTSEAT episodes.  She explains the importance of holding non-judgemental space for your truth as you connect into your body to discover what resonates with you.   A reflective conversation follows, as Gina's husband, Danny, joins her in an honest conversation about their relationship.  They share in insights and take turns sharing their reflections on their consciousness levels within their marriage.  Danny shares some deeper fears and Gina admits the behavior she does that breaks down connection.  You will leave the episode with some love in your heart for their partnership.  It is not perfect, but it is conscious.   If you enjoyed the episode, please leave a review or share the episode with a friend!   Let Gina know what you thought of the episode and connect with her on Instagram @higher_consciousness_school or https://www.instagram.com/higher_consciousness_school/  Or email:  gina@theschoolofhigherconsciousness.com .

Have you ever questioned why we don't learn more about LIFE in actual school? The School of Higher Consciousness reaches beyond any schooling we've learned to bring you engaging interviews and discussions in several topics including mind-body-spirit connection, emotional intelligence, health, consciousness, conscious (respectful) parenting, authenticity, meditation, and so much more. In this very first episode, Dr. Gina, chiropractor and educator, walks you through her intention for the podcast, sharing the three purposes for The School of Higher Consciousness: 1. Learn together 2. Connect into our most authentic selves, and 3. Provide parenting takeaways for anyone interested in raising children more in alignment with their higher-selves. You will also learn what 'higher consciousness' is, how the brain fires differently in higher states of consciousness, and how the podcast's HOTSEAT episodes can help you drop into your authentic self. I'm excited for the podcast to create a personality of its own. I hope you enjoy the episode!
