Get in the Mud Family, It's SO good to be back! Buckle up, we're challenging narratives. I am beyond excited to share this episode with you. I had the pleasure of connecting with El Divine Niño, an Artist, Poet, Guide & Actor, and Podcaster who's passion is the human condition. In this conversation, we dive into the concept of narratives, the stories we tell ourselves (and others), and how they are keeping us stuck. If you are struggling, feeling disempowered, questioning, hurting, or have any desire to re-write your story, this episode is for YOU! "The meaning of El Divine Niño: the divine inner child exists belongs to you. According to the laws of karma the inner child reflects your unfulfilled desires, which compel you to reawaken to the rebirth of the present. El Niño is a manifestation of the collective unconscious, a testament to the potential You hold within- the divine child. Every one of us holds divinity and potential. However, it is locked within the inner child. Your life serves an opportunity to heal that child; unlocking your deepest potential, and transmuting the energy and emotions that once paralyzed you into a driving force for creativity & growth." Connect with El Niño via: Instagram: @eldivinenino Podcast: “Where's The Nuance?” on all major platforms. Topics discussed: Narratives, our stories, ego, inner child work, inner child, purpose, reframing, transformation, spirituality, life after trauma, suicide, self-identity, self-love, freedom, meditation, mindfulness, buddhism.

Compassion is the ability to be with someone else in their pain.  And the degree to which our kids are comfortable with their own emotions, is the degree to which they can hold space for others.    So, if we want our kids to be compassionate – getting in the muck and mire of human emotions with others – they're going to need to learn how to be with uncomfortable emotions.   In today's episode you'll learn why we want to teach our kids compassion instead of sympathy (and why the difference is critical).  I also coach on how we can safely expose our children to others' suffering, so they can practice compassion. And finally, we discuss how showing compassion in our discipline can be one of our greatest opportunities as parents.   TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ - Personality Quiz 1-ON-1 COACHING: From Insight to Outcome - Life Coaching with Michelle CHECK OUT MY FREE 5-STEP MORNING ROUTINE FOR MOMS: My 5-Step Morning Routine MOTHERHOOD VILLAGE FB COMMUNITY: The Motherhood Village MOTHERHOOD INSTAGRAM: @michellegrosser.coach “I love The Motherhood Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!

But it helps in centering yourself, not letting your emotions take over that are trying to get out of here where your emotions are thinking about your emotions and your fears, and your worries, and your anger and all that. But to be centered here, and to breathe, and to focus on the breath, and let try which helps to let those emotions go and then come back and deal with them when you're in a better place. So it's more responding to emotions and reacting to emotions also, Thoughts on Breathing I've just started doing an online program with a Buddhist teacher who's all about breathing, and the whole thing, the whole course is on breathing, I only just started. So I can't tell you everything that it says. But the breath has any app that uses breathing and teaches you how to just close your eyes and breathe and pay attention to the breathing. And it takes practice at first you know, you're even when the app is talking to you. You're hearing all the chatter in your head. But with practice, they teach you to learn how to go back to your breath. And that's the fundamentals I think mindfulness is one of the basics. Suggested Resources Book: A Parenting Revolution for Higher Evolution: Raising Resilient, Responsible, Compassionate Kids from the Inside Out Book: The Blessing Of A Skinned Knee: Raising Self-Reliant Children App: Breathe Bullying Story  It's important to listen to your child, hear what they're saying and what their version of the story is. Give them your feedback. Listen, and pay attention to what they're saying and what they're feeling.  I have heard that bullies are victims of being bullied themselves, certainly.  If your child is being bullied, if you can convince them and help them to learn how to stand up for themselves. I know a lot of our kids benefit from martial arts for many, many reasons. But one of them is that they can stand up for themselves in a very healthy way. And it adds a lot of confidence usually too. Martial arts are really helpful in all kinds of ways, probably for all kids.

Peachie Thompson, AALU, ALMI, ACS of Peach Insurance Services interviews a dedicated educator, Jo Lawson, Director and Facilitator of Sapna Academy. They talk about the self-directed learning and its benefits for the development of children and its difference from traditional learning. Empowerment of children and instilling a sense of compassion and empathy were also one of the topics.

Most parents have followed one of these paths in parenting their children: Imposed their vision or ego on the child of what that child should do –whether it's get good grades, study for a specific career, play sports or music, attend a preferred college, etc.Tried so hard to ease their child's path that the child never learns to fend for him or herself, feels entitled, or becomes simply unmotivatedInflicts their own fears on the child so that the child either rebels or multiplies the fearsCorrects or criticizes the child to fulfill their own needs for outer appearances and expectations and stimulates the child's feeling of never being “enough.” Today's special guest Julie Phillips Hatch says there is another way. And that is to release your own needs and expectations and guide your child to follow his or her own path based on the child's inner spirt, intuition and natural inclination. In her half-manifesto-and-half-practical guidebook A Parenting Revolution for Higher Evolution: Raising Resilient, Responsible, Compassionate Kids from the Inside Out, Julie makes the casethat children parented from this standout are far better capable of becoming happy, stable, fully self-realized and empathetic adults who contribute to a better and more highly evolved world—whatever path they may follow. Julie knows kids. As a mother of three, a pediatric nurse practitioner, pediatric acupuncturist, a parenting coach, and host of the “Mums on a Mission” podcast, she has devoted her life to some aspect of healing and growing capable children. Seeing the impact of so many poor parenting choices, and the suffering, bullying or unfulfilled children who result from them, Julie felt she had to speak up.

I learned about Polly through a past guest, Katherine Woodward Thomas, who spoke so highly of her work, and I’m excited to dive in. We talk about the following and so much more: ✅ What does ”love between equals” mean? ✅ What is projective identification and why does it feel like such a terrible offense? ✅ Why does it recreate the conditions that we so often want to escape? ✅ Why we often get stuck in loops in our relationships - it seems like we often get to the same impasse. Why does this happen? ✅ Why we are so unprepared to be in equal relationships? And what she has seen in her workshops on how we can become equipped to become equal. ✅ What the self-esteem trap is ✅ How we free ourselves of self-importance?

Many parents want to raise kind and compassionate children, but in today's world it can be difficult to figure out how. Traci Baxley, an associate professor at Florida Atlantic University, is a mother of five children and believes parenting can be a form of activism. She is the author of "Social Justice Parenting: How to Raise Compassionate, Anti-Racist, Justice-Minded Kids in an Unjust World." In this episode of the EdCast, she shares ideas for how to create an environment where kids can see themselves as part of a bigger family and offer support to take action in the world.  

Heather Shumaker began writing books in elementary school, but then went on to work in land conservation for two decades and was a coastal program director for protecting Arcadia's dunes. She went from working in the area of science to becoming a national speaker on parenting and early childhood topics with her two renegade parenting books: Listen to these titles -  “It's OK Not to Share" and “It's OK to Go Up the Slide” and Other Renegade Rules for Raising Competent and Compassionate Kids and she is an advocate for free, unstructured play in homes and schools.  On this episode you will learn about: True PLAY is the child's own ideas bursting out of them. Kids process their thoughts and ideas in a recess time.  Play recharges a child's brain and gives them energy back. When kids aren't provided time to play and have those breaks, their memory, focus and problem solving skills and cognitive functions decrease plus their impulse control gets shaky so behavior issues come up. The more recesses they have, the more benefit for them especially kids with ADHD. The skills that kids need for future jobs are getting along with other people, social interaction, conflict mediation, creativity thinking, flexible thinking and problem solving. When a child plays they develop those skills by playing by themselves and with others.  Reading for pleasure! That does wonders for kids! If a child is struggling to read, allow the adult to read to the child, they learn so much language by being read aloud to.  Sleep improves memory, problem-solving and behavior. We need to be teaching kids 5-6 years old, skills of play to get along with others and follow their own ideas and develop connections in their brain, so their brains are ready at age 7 for academic learning.

Parenting is a huge responsibility and it can be hard to know what the best, most researched and up-to-date parenting practices are without reading or learning about them. The guests of today's episode dive into ways parents can raise empathetic and resilient kids by healing their own past wounds and disciplining without yelling. They talk about the program they've created to help toddler parents understand their child's unmet needs and offers parents helpful strategies to communicate with their kids.Bryana, Sonnet, and Veronica @raisingchildrenyoulike are the founders of Raising Children You Like @raisingchildren you like.  They're a group of moms with 6 kids between them. Sonnet and Veronica are co-hosts of Not Your Mother's Podcast. On the search for parenting answers, Sonnet and Veronica partnered with Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Bryana Kappa from South Bay Mommy and Me and started an online mindful parenting educational system for toddler parents called Raising Children You Like.   In their program  they cover topics such as Tackling tantrums and understanding a child's unmet needs and discipline without yelling, they also take parents through the processes of healing past wounds as a parent, so they don't pass them along to their children and ultimately teach parents how to raise a child with empathy, resilience, and compassion. They don't take raising the next generation lightly and understand the responsibility it involves and have risen to the occasion and taken action.Make sure to tune into this episode and have a listen....

Play is a powerful way to learn ... so why is it disappearing from children's lives? Our guest, Nancy Carlsson-Paige, professor emerita of early childhood education at Lesley University (where she  trained teachers for 30+ years), shares her insights.

My guest this week is psychologist Dr. Polly Young-Eisendrath. We talked about the big ideas from her recent book, Love Between Equals: Relationship as a Spiritual Path. Polly presents an inspiring view of committed relationships—not at all an idealized view, as she acknowledges the challenges in sharing life with another person. But she’s clear about the possibilities that await us in truly relating to someone over time. Her ideas might change how you think about and how you experience your own relationships. Topics we explored included: Dialogue therapy for couples (which Polly developed) The mixed blessing of evolving romantic relationships in the 21st century Our desire to be seen, heard, and felt by a partner The expectation that partners will fill many roles How loving relationships can help us to grow as human beings How our own thoughts and feelings bias our perceptions of our partner The value of allowing a “mindful gap” between partners The inevitable idealization and merger of partners when first falling in love Projective identification, in which we evoke predictable responses from our partners How unconscious communication affects relationships Freud’s concept of a “repetition compulsion” The value of mindful presence in couple communication The importance of checking to see if you’ve heard your partner accurately The effect of true curiosity in couple communication How sex changes a relationship What many people fear about true love The terror of being seen and known by another Here are links to Polly's books (a percentage of each sale made through these links will be used to support the podcast, at no additional cost to you): Love Between Equals: Relationship as a Spiritual Path The Self-Esteem Trap: Raising Confident and Compassionate Kids in an Age of Self-Importance The Present Heart: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Discovery The Resilient Spirit: Transforming Suffering Into Insight And Renewal Click here for the Enemies: War to Wisdom podcast.  Polly Young-Eisendrath, PhD, is a Jungian analyst, psychologist, teacher and author. She is Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Vermont and in private practice in central Vermont. Polly is the originator of Dialogue Therapy, which is designed to help couples and others (for example, parents and grown children) transform chronic conflict into greater closeness and development. Dialogue Therapy has been expanded, in recent years, to include methods of Mindfulness, alongside its unique combination of Object Relations and Psychodrama. In January 2019, Shambhala/Random House published Polly’s new book, Love Between Equals: Relationship as a Spiritual Path, which offers her vision of personal love as a spiritual path and draws on her experience of 30 years as a Dialogue Therapist and Jungian psychoanalyst. Polly’s clinical practice and teaching have focused on individual psychotherapy and analysis, as well as Dialogue Therapy. She is past president of the Vermont Association for Psychoanalytic Studies and a founding member of the Vermont Institute for the Psychotherapies. She is also a Mindfulness teacher and has been a practitioner of Buddhism since 1971. Polly is the author or editor of eighteen books, ranging from parenting, adult development, intimate and parental love, Buddhist theory, Jungian psychology to women’s development, couple therapy, couple development, and various paths to awakening/enlightenment from meditation to personal love. These books have been translated into more than twenty languages. In the fall of 2018, Polly began the podcast ENEMIES: From War to Wisdom with co-host Eleanor Johnson. You can find Polly online at her website.

In this episode, I talk to Dr. Shauna Tominey about her book, Creating Compassionate Kids: Essential Conversations to Have with Young Children. The main purpose of her book is to support adults to build compassion and understanding through the conversations we have with children.  What You Will Learn How to model compassion by letting children know they are loved no matter who they are or what they experience How to support children in becoming self-aware, while also understanding differences among people and families How to build resilience in children by discussing how stress or tragedy can make us stronger How to help children use their recognition of being loved, their self-awareness, understanding of others, and personal resilience to demonstrate compassion for others We also talk about the progression of inclusion, how compassion addresses bullying, and the importance of explaining what you are doing and why.

This week we are talking about how to raise compassionate kids who care about the thoughts and feelings of others. Isn’t that ultimately our goal? To raise good human beings? These ways I’m sharing are not a guarantee for a good outcome; they are just ways I have observed to help you raise kids who love and care for others. The ways I share are: 1) Give them structure. 2) Regulate their relationships with others. 3) Be aware of the example you set. 4) Extend compassion outside of your family. As a regular segment beginning this week, and for the next several shows, I am sharing a bit of the content from my new book, You Are Enough: What Women of the Bible Teach You About Your Mission and Worth. This week, we consider the story of Judith and the ways in which she uses her womanly gifts and her God-given strength to accomplish what seems impossible. Finally, I share some feedback from new listener Jennifer who appreciated my long-ago episode on the subject of Natural Family Planning (NFP) and wanted to share her own experience. Please join me in praying for Jennifer this week.

Karyn Garossino, former Olympic Figure Skater is just what we needed on the podcast to help move us forward in any goal we might have. We’ve discussed over physical fitness at length on the podcast, but today we will focus on mental fitness. Karyn talks to us about building mental fitness and resilience. This podcast episode is POWERFUL! Her successes did not make her resilient. Her challenges made her resilient. Listen in to find out how those very challenges we experience are building us up for success.   How to Build Resilience You can’t buy it. It’s something you must build. You need to take the challenges that come up in life, whether it’s in family, business, school or friendships and take those experiences and save them as learning opportunities. This is where mental fitness comes in.   How Do We Build Mental Fitness? It’s about withstanding the negative things that come our way. Not so much about withstanding the hurt, because it is real to feel the hurt, we’re only humans. Part of this mental fitness and resilience is to be able to recover.   Component parts of building mental fitness: It’s asking why. Afterall, our guest’s name is Karyn with a Y!! When you are really scared, and connecting with that fear, one of the mental skills of resilience is to turn your attention on the why you’re doing this. What does this mean to you? What values are you honoring? What contribution are you bringing to the world in this? What are the things that you most look forward to? This is the skill area of focus. This is where you choose to put your attention. Then ask, does the fear serve me?   Create an image in your head of where you want to be 1 to 2 years from now, and pull that image in your head every time chaos and stress are increasing and you’re getting busier daily. The hardest thing you can do, is work hard and simply plot your feet one in front of the other. When you have your vision in your head that is a clear mental image of you in the future, you will be drawn to it even through all the obstacles, whether you go through it, over it or around it. It becomes your conveyor belt. So create your visual image!!! You can create a vision board with images, or words and engrain it in your head every time you feel the stress and obstacles coming your way. Rather than a situation controlling the outcome, you control your own outcome. If you can practice the way you want to execute a skill with mental imagery and play it out in your mind, you will be far more successful in actually implementing it. The more we do this, the more we will be able to do it.   Karyn’s 3 Habits to Build Resilience Stay connected with the people that you care about. Social relationship quality. Quotes for inspiration.
