    In this episode of The Wellness Matters Podcast, I shared a personal story about a conversation I had with my son regarding the balance of masculine and feminine energies, particularly in the context of youth sports and coaching styles. I didn't know the conversation was going to go in that direction but it did. I ended up reflecting on the difference between the two student teaching placements I had when I was a senior in college. After my first placement, I thought I had wasted money and time for four years in college because I couldn't teach the way my placement teacher was teaching. She was very stuck in fear and toxic masculine energy (this was the connection I was making with my son and his coach). It wasn't until I had my second placement that I realized there was a different way of gaining the respect of the students. Not only could this 'new way' be used in teaching, but it could also be used in all aspects of my life. The teacher for my second placement (who is now my sister-in-law) showed me what balanced masculine and feminine energies looked like. We are often taught how to grip and "make things happen." I learned many years ago with the guidance of a wonderful mentor that not only is it okay but it's necessary to be vulnerable in front of others. I learned there is always another way to "get what we want." A way that doesn't deplete our energy tanks and keeps us vibing higher so we can radiate more joy into the world. I hope this podcast provides you with a great example of balance and understanding on how there is always another way. I appreciate your support!If you feel called to support the podcast, leave a review on Spotify ​here​ or Apple ​here​…And if you know someone who would benefit from this episode…Consider forwarding them this email.Other ways to find me:Instagram: ​wellness_matters_tribe​Facebook: ​wellness matters​Website:​ wellnessmatterstribe.com​My book: ​The Missing Piece​

We discuss the importance of understanding the subconscious mind's role in healing, manifestation, and the impact of early programming from parents.In the second half of the podcast we switched gears to talk about an experiement we wanted to try...a challenge if you will. Ashley and I are setting up a new story in our subconscious mind that is positive and setting us up for a better life. Ashley's new story is that her body is healthy. She has suffered from various health issues since she was a teen. I would like to create a story in my subconscious that whole heartedly KNOWS that all aspects of myself are now integrated. The shadow sides, the light sides, and everything in between so I can radiate my brightest life force energy.If you are feeling called to join us on this challenge here are the criteria we have come up with:Set up at least 7 alarms to go off on your phone throughout your day. This is used to be a pattern disruption through your day to help you come back to the conscious moment and repeat your new mantra.Use your voice memos app and record about a 15 minute message repeating your new mantra. I created a few and just repeated them over and over. Listen to the 15 minute recording every night after you have wound down and are about to go to sleep. You want to get to the Theta brainwave which is how you create new stories in the subconscious mind.We also decided to limit our social media intake and anything else that might be lower vibrational.

I was on a hike with my dogs recently and received a loud message to help make parents understand that they are doing great and are exactly what their child was looking for. I discuss the concept of soul contracts and how it relates to parenting and explain that soul contracts are agreements made in the soul realm before coming to Earth, where souls choose their parents and the experiences they want to have. I emphasize that parents should understand that their child chose them because of who they are, and that they are doing everything they are supposed to be doing. I also encourage parents to stop trying to mold their children into versions of themselves and instead allow them to be who they came here to be. I remind parents that their children are their teachers and that they signed a contract with them to learn and grow together. At the end of the podcast I announced my upcoming creation of a soul contract workbook to help people understand their purpose and relationships.TakeawaysChildren choose their parents and the experiences they want to have through soul contracts.Parents should understand that their child chose them because of who they are and that they are doing everything they are supposed to be doing.Parents should stop trying to mold their children into versions of themselves and instead allow them to be who they came here to be.Children are the teachers of their parents and both parties signed a contract to learn and grow together.I am creating a soul contract workbook to help people understand their purpose and relationships.I appreciate your support!If you feel called to support the podcast, leave a review on Spotify ​here​ or Apple ​here​…And if you know someone who would benefit from this episode…Consider forwarding them this email.Other ways to follow me:Instagram: ​wellness_matters_tribe​Facebook: ​wellness matters​Website:​ wellnessmatterstribe.com​My book: ​The Missing Piece​
