Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE for the ad-free version: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateFrom toddlers casually chatting with deceased relatives to the ghostly cries of orphaned children still echoing through abandoned buildings, tonight's stories explore the unsettling connection between children and the paranormal through real accounts from terrified parents, witnesses, and those who were once haunted children themselves.Take the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: It's been said that kids are more open to the supernatural, perhaps because their minds haven't been closed off to the possibilities that ghosts really exist. That makes stories about childhood hauntings even creepier. The real stories I'll be sharing in this episode include ghosts encountered by kids of all ages. The stories might convince you that the nightlight your child insists stay on in the bedroom, needs to stay on for a reason.  (Haunted Children) *** There's something inherently chilling about old orphanages. Maybe it's the fact that scary orphanage stories abound - after all, the buildings are associated with heartbroken and lonely children. And not all of these tales concern the living. Plenty of real life ghost stories feature orphanages filled with restless and vengeful child spirits. (Orphanage Ghosts) *** And what should you do if your child says they see a ghost? Do you tell them there is no such thing? Do you encourage them to believe more fully? What's the right thing to do? A couple of child psychologists have a few ideas on what you can do.

Hey Mama, Do you feel exhausted during the day, wishing you had more energy? Are you suffering from mom-brain, with lack of focus and mental clarity? Do you find yourself easily agitated, or snapping at your husband and children? If you are dealing with any of the above, then you may need to re-evaluate your sleep health and the way you manage your stress. You may be wondering, why should I care about how I manage my stress? Isn't surviving the day enough? And I would ask, do you always want to feel stuck in survival mode?  Last week, we discussed four dangers of being sleep deprived as a busy mom, and how it can affect multiple aspects of your health and safety. Today, I want to share with you a simple three-step sleep hack you can do in two minutes or less each day to help you have a good foundation for better sleep at night so you can go from just surviving to thriving.  If you want better energy, greater mental clarity, more even mood, and better sleep, then this is for you!   Products I Use For My Mom hack: https://bit.ly/three-stepmomhack    For His Glory, Christen   I would love to hear from you!  >>Leave a Review >>Connect with me:   Sign Up for Manage In The Moment Coaching Call: https://bit.ly/ManageStressInTheMoment   Email me : naturalwellnessforbusymoms@gmail.com  Sign Up to Become an Insider: https://bit.ly/naturalwellnessinsider  Join Our FREE Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1789472588229094  >>Find Related Products Here: https://bit.ly/m/Natural-Wellness-for-Busy-Moms  >> These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Hey Mom,  If your child has eczema, constant sniffles, or those mystery bedtime coughs, I want you to know: you're not imagining it. And you're definitely not alone. In this episode, I'm sharing 5 hidden household toxins that could be affecting your child's health, many of which are found in common places like laundry detergent, air fresheners, and even baby wipes. You'll learn why indoor air quality, fragrance chemicals, and everyday cleaning products can impact your little one's lungs, skin, and sleep. But don't worry—this isn't about overhauling your entire life. I'll walk you through where to begin and how to reduce your family's toxic load step by step. ✨ You deserve a home that supports your child's health, not one that works against it. Xoxo, Cynthia

We talk a lot about self-care as moms, but most of the time, the examples we're given (bubble baths, massages, solo Target runs) only scratch the surface.   The truth is, there's not one kind of self-care. There are actually several distinct forms of care we need, and they each serve a different purpose in our lives and in our motherhood. When we only reach for one type, it makes sense that we still feel burned out, even after “taking a break.” This week on the podcast, I'm joined by self-care coach Mia Hemstad, who shares her simple, powerful framework: The 4B's of Self-Care© to help us better identify what we need (and when!). You'll hear:

Hey Mama,  As a mom of two boys who used essential oils during and after pregnancy, I am often asked if essential oils can be used for infants. The short answer is, YES! However, that yes comes with precautions.  Essential oils are powerful, so for tiny humans, this equals the need to adjust how we approach using essential oils with babies so that we can safely and effectively help support their little bodies. Join me today, Mama, for a quick guide to what every mom should know about how to use essential oils for babies.

In this stimulating episode of "Life After Kids," Dr. Brooke and Dr. Lynne take listeners on a journey of rejuvenation and self-discovery beyond motherhood with a focus on midyear goal-setting. They emphasize the importance of creating goals as a way to build the life of your dreams rather than feeling weighed down by obligations. This episode serves as a perfect opportunity for listeners to pause, reassess, and realign their aspirations as the hosts share key strategies for effectively checking in on goals, making adjustments, and taking actionable steps toward achieving them. Throughout the discussion, Dr. Brooke and Dr. Lynne introduce their "Life After Kids" goals framework, a strategic roadmap designed to guide women through assessing various life areas and setting meaningful objectives. Introducing concepts like writing down goals to set intentions in motion and adjusting them when life shifts, they stress the importance of not just setting but also reviewing and recalibrating goals during the year. They share practical advice on balancing achievement with self-care and the joy of living fully in the moment, aligning with feelings of freedom, playfulness, and joy. These insights are bolstered by workbook exercises and journal prompts designed to provoke thought and action. Key Takeaways: Establishing and revisiting goals helps create a life enriched by desires and dreams, rather than obligations. Writing down goals can significantly increase the chance of success, even if no immediate action is taken. The "Life After Kids" goals framework offers a structured way for women to revitalize their focus across key life areas. Setting and recalibrating goals, even if big and audacious, reinforces progress and the value of tracking wins. Emphasizing desired feelings such as freedom, creativity, and connection can aid in crafting fulfilling life experiences that align with authentic desires.

Do you long to go deeper in your faith and help your children fall in love with Scripture — not just the stories, but the whole story?  Today Zach Windahl shares what led him to dedicate years to studying scripture. He emphasizes the importance of simplifying the Bible for others, particularly for those who feel overwhelmed or confused. After moving to Australia and enrolling in a transformative Bible study program, everything changed. He discovered how the entire Bible connects — from Genesis to Revelation — and how understanding Scripture through a Hebrew lens opens up a whole new depth of meaning. The Bible isn't random. Every story, every verse, every command points to Jesus. Here is some of what we cover:  Why modeling your faith matters more than preaching to your kids The difference between a Greek vs. Hebrew mindset when reading Scripture What to do when Christian culture and actual Jesus living don't align Connect with Zach Windahl:  Website:  Zach Windahl Facebook: Zach Windahl | Facebook Instagram:  Zach Windahl (@zachwindahl) Links Mentioned:   The Bible, Simplified: By Zach Windahl The Bible Study: By Zach Windahl See the Good: By Zach Windahl Practicing the Way: By John Mark Comer Revolutionary Parenting: By George Barna Zach Windahl – The Brand Sunday Related Episodes: Consistency in Bible Study :: Katie Orr [Ep 352] Every Mom a Theologian :: Phylicia Masonheimer [Ep 389] Why Read the Entire Bible :: Tara Leigh Cobble [Ep 312] Featured Sponsors:  Thrive Causemetics: Try your new trusty favorites with an exclusive set for our listeners.

Discipline is one of the hardest parts of parenting—and one of the most frequently asked-about topics from Wire Talk listeners. In this popular re-air, Karen breaks down discipline into three practical stages and shares wisdom from her book Survival Guide to Motherhood. Whether you're parenting toddlers, school-aged kids, or teens, grab your headphones and get ready to reframe your mindset with the powerful biblical principle: pain now equals peace later.Episode Recap:8:14 Discipline starts with your mindset 9:36 Pain now equals peace later12:24 Discipline has to be consistent.13:34 The three stages of discipline each require a different focus from moms16:17 The “B”s of discipline with young kids are: Be Consistent, Be United, Be Clear17:05 In the middle years it's time to teach the “why” behind the no18:11 You have to slow down and make time to teach your child20:20 During the “coaching” stage, parents have to let consequences play outScripture for Reflection: Hebrews 12:11 (NIV)“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”Questions for Discussion:Are there any negative behaviors you see in your child now that you are tempted to ignore, thinking they will grow out of it? Karen mentioned the idea that "pain now will equal peace later" when it comes to parenting. Have you experienced this in your own life? How have you seen this in your parenting journey? Which stage of discipline are you in right now? (Laying the Foundation, Teaching the ‘Whys', The Coaching Years)Do you think the pace of your life is preventing you from disciplining effectively? How so? Of the three “B”s (Be Consistent, Be United, Be Clear), which do you struggle with most? Have you ever prayed and asked for wisdom to know how to discipline your child? Pray together as a group today for the wisdom to discipline effectively. Resources:Get your copy of Karen's book Survival Guide to Motherhood: https://amzn.to/3I8jxNxSign up for Soar at Sea: https://www.soaratsea.comMore Wire Talk episodes on discipline: Laying the Foundation, The Middle Years, The Coaching YearsFind ALL the episodes we've ever recorded on discipline HERE.

Moms carry so much—and often give even more. But Proverbs 11:25 reminds us that “the one who waters will himself be watered.” We'll hear encouragement straight from God's Word: that you matter, you're never alone, and you have what it takes. Whether you're a mom, a caregiver, or someone constantly giving for others, you'll be reminded that God sees you—and He gives grace to help you keep going.Eric P.

As a coach, do you realize often enough just how valuable your work is?! In an AI-centric world where it appears that computers can solve everything, it can be easy to forget the power of human connection. When you as a coach can be present with your client, hearing them, empowering them, and guiding them to enhance their life… wow. That cannot be replaced. In this episode, we're going to explore why coaching for moms specifically is so important. Moms are handed a pretty big job right away- keeping a small human being alive! And yet, that is only the beginning. The emotional care and support that is needed to help kids develop in the best possible way is a task that requires care, conscious decisions, and plenty of support surrounding us. Something few moms know (and even few coaches understand) is that children rely on their caregivers to help them co-regulate. As a mom, your own level of emotional stability and wellness has a direct impact on your kids. (Now listen, no pressure or worry, okay?! We are all human. We are a work in progress). Having said this, too many moms are overwhelmed, exhausted and reactive. I truly believe that every mom should have a coach. Guidance and help from the right coach means more moms can learn to feel more in control of their own emotions and truly give their kids what they need. Let's face it, parenting is hard. Every single kid is different, and there is no manual to follow. That's why I'm thrilled to have one of my Master Certified Coaches Meg Kuhnle share the work she does using a holistic approach to help moms connect to themselves so they can show up better as parents. Even women (and men) who are not moms will have important takeaways. There is so much good here and everyone will be able to learn something to help you become a more highly skilled coach and better serve your clients who are parents or not. With so many moms being in a “self-sacrificing” mindset, most would think they “can't justify” a personal coach until later in life. This could not be more backwards (and yet I too have fallen prey to this type of thinking). Let's talk about why every mom needs a coach now. Starting and continuing personal growth as a woman raising kids means avoiding some of the worst mom traps and ultimately being the best possible parent. We're going to go through strategies for how to cultivate energy and understand yourself more so that even during the tough moments where emotions are high, you can still be that person that you're proud of at the end of the day–and help your clients do the same.Regulate your nervous system for a calmer homeHighly skilled coaches know how important a holistic approach is for our clients, and it's no different when we're coaching for moms.

34. Mom Spring Break: I needed it more than I imagined and if I could say anything to you, it would be, "Don't wait!"Moms, it's time to give yourself permission to take a break—by yourself! In this special episode, I'm sharing one of the most unexpected and empowering experiences of my life: taking a solo trip during spring break. After 18 years of motherhood, I finally learned the value of carving out space for myself, and I'm here to tell you why every mom deserves this kind of self-care—and why I regret waiting so long.In Episode 34, I share:✔ The life-changing reasons why I decided to take a solo vacation away from my family.✔ How giving yourself permission to be alone can recharge your spirit and make you a better version of yourself (for you and your family).  ✔ Why I wish I'd done this sooner, and how a solo trip can actually benefit your entire family dynamic.. ✔ What I learned from spending a couple of days totally by myself—and how it can inspire you to carve out moments for yourself, too.Why This Episode Matters Now: If you're anything like me, you may have felt the constant pressure to be everything for everyone. But here's the truth: you can't pour from an empty cup. Taking time away from the daily grind is a game-changer for your mental and emotional health—and for your family's well-being too. If you're a mom who's been considering a solo trip (or just some time to yourself), this episode is your permission slip. Let's explore why it's so important to unplug and reconnect with you.Resources & Links Mentioned:

Send us a textThe journey to becoming a parent is transformative, with every expecting family deserving compassionate, continuous support through pregnancy, birth and beyond. This intimate conversation with Gail Tupin, a certified birth and postpartum doula, unveils how professional birth support dramatically improves outcomes and experiences for new families.When a doula is present at birth, intervention rates including C-sections measurably decrease – not because doulas provide medical care, but because they create a crucial buffer in the birthing environment. As Gail explains, doulas offer that essential "pause moment" between medical recommendations and parental decisions, allowing families to make choices from a place of confidence rather than fear. Unlike your medical team or even your closest loved ones, doulas bring an unbiased perspective and extensive experience with birth, creating space for parents to fully process their options.The misconception that doulas only support unmedicated births prevents many families from accessing this valuable resource. Contrary to popular belief, doulas support all birth plans – including epidurals and cesarean births – by adapting their role to each family's unique needs and preferences. The support continues into the critical fourth trimester, where postpartum doulas help new mothers process their birth experiences while creating what Gail beautifully describes as a "sanctuary space" for recovery.Though insurance coverage remains limited, some Medicaid programs now include doula services, and creative solutions like adding doula support to baby registries can make this care more accessible. Whether you're expecting your first baby or adding to your family, connecting with a doula whose personality and approach resonate with you could transform your birth experience. Reach out to Gail for a free consultation if you're in the Metro Detroit area, and discover how professional birth support might be the missing piece in your journey to parenthood.Check out Gail's website: www.rooted-doula.com or follow her on IG & FB for helpful birth and postpartum content @rooted_doulaYou can also find Gail providing pregnant and new mom support at Livingston County's premiere holisticSupport the showEnjoying the show?

Motherhood is beautiful, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, and even scary—especially when postpartum mental health struggles come into play. In this episode, Corrine sits down with Megan Johnson, a therapist and co-founder of The Emily Effect, for an open and much-needed conversation about maternal mental health. Megan shares the heartbreaking story of her sister Emily Dyches, who suffered from severe postpartum anxiety before tragically losing her life. Through Emily's story, Megan sheds light on the silent battles so many moms face, the stigma that keeps women from speaking up, and the resources that can truly help. Corrine and Megan also discuss signs to watch for, why postpartum struggles aren't always obvious, and what loved ones can do to help. If you've ever felt like something wasn't quite right after having a baby—or if you want to better support the moms in your life—this episode will leave you feeling informed, encouraged, and most importantly, less alone.
