Do you ever find yourself getting overwhelmed or dysregulated when your child gets overwhelmed or dysregulated? Ah-hem, yes. We ALL do. And even though we may have the tools in our toolbox, it's challenging to use them in that exact right moment.  In this episode of the Heartful Parent Podcast, I'm talking mindfulness with with Dr. Christopher Willard, a clinical psychologist and author. We have a very heartful conversation about mindfulness and emotional regulation. We're digging into the power of being responsive rather than reactive — a skill every parent can benefit from.  Dr. Willard shares his own journey into mindfulness, offering simple, practical tips to make mindfulness an enjoyable and accessible part of daily life for both parents and kids. You'll also get a sneak peek into Dr. Willard's upcoming book, Feelings Are Like Farts, which uses (fart) humor to help kids better understand their emotions.  This lighthearted yet meaningful conversation is full of relatable insights and actionable advice, perfect for any parent looking to navigate the ups and downs of family life with a little more calm and connection. Tune in for a dose of mindfulness inspiration and share with another parent who may have a kiddo who laughs at farts.  Resources: drchristopherwillard.com Follow Dr. Chris Willard @drchriswillard on Facebook | Instagram Books: Growing Up Mindful by Christopher Willard Alphabreaths by Christopher Willard, PsyD Feelings Are Like Farts by Christopher Willard, PsyD 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge and Found Self-Help That Actually Works by Dan Harris Real Happiness by Sharon Salzberg Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness by Jon Kabat-Zinn Follow Christy @theheartfulparent | Join the Heartful Parent Academy with code PODCAST

I am answering 2 listener questions in this episode of the Heartful Parent Podcast!  Question #1: What do we do when we are watching our teens & tweens navigate relationships? How much do you give advice and how much do you let them figure out on their own?  Young relationships can be tricky, and there is a lot to learn. So when do you step in? When do you stay out of it? My advice is to lean in with empathy and curiosity and then to ask a key question: what would you like to do to move forward?  Your teen will probably surprise you! Question #2: What should I do about my child's cussing?   Let's talk about modeling and setting boundaries, because guess what…you really can't control your child's language. You can control your reaction to it though, so let's start there.  Get your parenting question answered, email me christy@theheartfulparent.com   Rate, review, and share!

Welcome back to Our Mindful Nature! This week, we're continuing our heartfulness series by stepping off the meditation cushion and into the great outdoors.Last episode, we explored the softer, heart-led practice of meditation — a way of being curious, embodied, and a co-participant in the experience rather than its manager. But heartfulness isn't just for meditation; it's a lens for living. And one of the most powerful ways to nurture heartfulness is by connecting with nature.

Happy New Year and welcome back to Our Mindful Nature, where we explore the intersection of meditation, nature, and mental health. Let's start the year by diving into a fresh, gentler perspective on mindfulness — or should we say, heartfulness?In this episode, I share a thought that's been swirling in my mind: what if we reframed our practice? While in the West, meditation is often translated as “mindfulness,” the original Pali word aligns more closely with the concept of “heartfulness.” Imagine how this shift might change the way we experience meditation practice and life.

In this special two-part milestone episode of the Heartful Parent Podcast, I'm taking a walk down memory lane with the top 10 moments from the first 100 episodes of the podcast! These clips capture the messages I try to convey with each and every episode. It is my goal to fill your parenting toolbox, have thought-provoking conversations, and most of all empower you to parent with more love, joy, and connection. And most of all, to remind you each week that we were never meant to do this alone. Whether you've been with me from the beginning or are just starting your heartful parenting journey, this is the perfect episode to reflect on the lessons we've shared and the incredible community we've built.  I hope this two-part episode helps you revisit some fan-favorite interviews and reflect on some of ‘ah-ha!' and ‘what the f**k?' moments we've had on the pod. I'm so grateful for you, each and every listener that has listened, subscribed and shared an episode with another parent. I look forward to the next 100 episodes of supporting you on this beautiful, messy, and rewarding parenting adventure!

Let's build connection and embrace heartfulness this holiday season. Do you need a little help? In this episode of the Heartful Parent Podcast, I'm sharing holiday traditions that listeners shared with me!  I'm hoping you can walk away with something new to try, whether it's baking sugar cookies, honoring loved ones at cemeteries, creating a personalized advent calendar, starting the New Year with a family hike, or spreading cheer through ‘candy cane bombs' (it's harmless, I promise!) These simple yet powerful traditions could be just what you need to bring love, joy, and some heartfulness to your family's celebration this year.

Have you ever felt trapped in a moment of parenting, where your reaction just happens, and then afterward, you know you've screwed up? An eye roll, a slammed door, a snarky comment from your teen or tween just sets you off!?  Guess what? We've all been there. Really. In this episode of the Heartful Parent Podcast, my guest Mary Wilcox Smith, fellow parent coach, is explaining that there is actually science to back up what is going on in our kids' brains AND our reaction to it! That feels freeing to me. What about you? Mary is a seasoned parent coach and founder of the Micro-Step Method, which can help you make very small changes each day to overcome stress and frustration and nurture the connection you have with your kids.  Our conversation covers various 'parent traps,' the importance of repairing ruptures in relationships, and the effectiveness of small, consistent positive interactions (micro steps). Christy and Mary emphasize the importance of obtaining support as a parent and highlight practical tips for fostering resilience and connection with children.

Whether you're ready or not, the moment will eventually come when your kid starts to wonder 'Is Santa Real?' When they ask you, do you know what you'll say, how you'll handle it?  In this episode of the Heartful Parent Podcast, I'm encouraging you to keep the magic alive, even if your kids are past the believing stage. Don't let go of the hope or the spirit of what Santa represents. Instead, dig in with connection, share the reality, and invite them to help keep the magic going. How? Well, I'm here to help with that! I have a couple of books to share, a little bit of practical advice, and a few ways to help explain Santa in a loving and magical way. Use the inevitable conversation as a way to invite heartfulness and connection into your relationship and your holiday season.  I'm sure you know a parent who may also need a little guidance for the Santa conversation, pass this episode along to them. And if you need more support that is specialized to you, your family, and your situation, The Heartful Parent Academy is a great place for you. I would absolutely love to see you there.  Resources: How Judy Blume Nearly Ruined Christmas by Christy Keating [full Lucy letter included] Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus by Chris Plehal  Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus (Classic Version) by Frances P.

'Let bygones be bygones.' 'Forgive and forget.' These two common sayings are how many of us have been taught to view forgiveness. Sometimes those ways of “forgiving” just don't sit quite right. So, this episode of the Heartful Parent Podcast aims to shift that perspective a little bit. Forgiveness Coach, Brenda Reiss is my guest and she is here to help us explore the profound impact of forgiveness on our mental, emotional, and physical well-being, especially within the parenting space. Brends presents us with a 5-step process to redefine and embrace forgiveness. She emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and walks us through how to get to a place of peace and empowerment in our lives.  Brenda does not want you to let it go, forget it happened, or try to figure it out on your own, which makes this such a fascinating conversation. You'll walk away from this conversation ready to tackle radical forgiveness for yourself and feel empowered doing so.  Resources: brendareisscoaching.com Forgive Yourself Podcast  Forgive Yourself by Brenda Reiss Journey to Your Heart Space by Brenda Reiss @Brenda.Reiss.Coach on Facebook   @brendareisscoaching on Instagram  

Sometimes life gives you lemons, sometimes it sends you a bomb cyclone! Well, for my family this week it was the bomb cyclone.  And while this situation came with its challenges, no power, no internet, no school, no way to record a brand new episode for you––there was a little bit of a silver lining around the clouds that lingered after the storm.  One, a chance to reflect on what's important as we approach U.S. Thanksgiving, the holiday all about gratitude. And two, the chance for me to pull a GREAT past episode out of the vault and polish it up for you this week.  In this fabulous throwback, I'm digging into all the benefits of inviting more gratitude into your life daily, weekly, and beyond.  I'm giving you the numbers of how an active gratitude practice benefits your emotional and social wellbeing and helps you get the D.O.S.E. chemicals that benefit your overall physical health.  BUT not all gratitude practices are created equal! While even just listing things you are grateful for can benefit your overall health, today I'm sharing some ways to take your gratitude practice a little deeper. And I'm giving you some ideas of things you could do to help deepen the connection you have with your family by inviting more gratitude into your lives.  No matter if it's lemons or a bomb cyclone, I'm here for you. I'd love to hear how you're inviting more gratitude into your life. Reach out, christy@theheartfulparent.com. And pass this episode along to someone you appreciate so they can invite more gratitude into their lives too.  Resources Ep 6 | Heartful Parenting Practice: Family Meetings  

Awww….Elf on the Shelf. One of those holiday traditions that maybe you grew up with, maybe you didn't––but come December 1st, pictures and posts of crazy shenanigans that all the happy little elves (SPIES!) are doing will be all over the place. Are you feeling pressure to join in the *fun* for the sake of your kids? Does this holiday tradition bring you–not your kids–but YOU joy? Does pressuring your kids to “be good” by having an elf spy on them foster love and connection during the holidays? I'm diving into this holiday tradition today, not to tell you to stop doing it, but to help you think about how it serves your family. If you would like to use “Shirley” the Elf or “Rocco” the Elf to create magic around your house during the holidays, more power to you! But as we do that, let's think about how we can use Shirley and Rocco to spread love, joy, connection, and heartfulness with our kids during the holiday season. And if you do not take part in the Elf on the Shelf tradition, don't worry! There are still some really insightful tips for you in this episode too! Positive Discipline and Heartfulness have a place in all seasons, no matter what you believe or how you celebrate. Listen and share as we dive into this busy time.   Resources: You Better Watch Out, You Better Not Cry: Positive Discipline and Elf on the Shelf

Have you noticed that kids seem more anxious and overwhelmed than ever?  Doesn't it feel like parenting now poses unique and difficult challenges compared to generations before? How do we equip our kids to be resilient through all they will face in today's world? Laura Gaines, a mental health professional with decades of experience supporting kids, teens, and their parents, joins me on the Heartful Parent Podcast today. We're exploring resilience from many angles, including its psychological basis and its practical application in parenting.  Laura points us to lean into joy, meaning, and healthy routines to nurture resilience. We both agree that the broader goal is to raise well-adjusted adults, not just children.  Find Laura's comprehensive blog at learnmodelteach.com, full of tips and tools for growing resilience in your kids.  Resources: learnmodelteach.com Atlas of the Heart by Brene Brown Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl How to Raise an Adult Julie Lythcott-Haims

Daaji shares how this process can lead to divinity and an accelerated personal evolution. 5. The Heart as Our Guide: Embrace the wisdom of the Heartfulness tradition that the heart, not the mind, should lead our life decisions. Recognize the voice of the heart as the most reliable compass we have for making choices that we won't regret later.

What's love got to do with a world in crisis? Everything, says Oren Jay Sofer in his new book, Your Heart Was Made for This. No matter how overwhelming things might seem, we can cultivate capacities that help us to respond with sensitivity and strength.Oren teaches Buddhist meditation, mindfulness and communication (the subject of his last book, Say What You Mean – which I found very helpful when running a men's group). We touch on all these topics in a wide-ranging chat about ways to awaken in everyday life, while also working to transform the world.Your Heart Was Made for This weaves personal stories with activist history to talk about techniques for relating more skilfully to one another, and to ourselves. In the process, it highlights 26 qualities from the Buddha's teachings, including practical guidance on how to develop them, and reflections on their links to social change.To explore some of the overlaps between Buddhism and yogic traditions, join me for a course at truthofyoga.com.

Do you know any narcissists? If you do, I'm sure just reading or hearing that word triggers a reaction in you. Did you know there is actually healthy narcissism? Now, before you skip past this episode because of the word narcissism, please hear me when I say you will find the conversation in this episode more fascinating and applicable than you probably expect. I sure did.  Dr. Mary Ann Little is my guest for this episode, and she is a clinical psychologist with years of experience in private practice and has written books about parenting and children including the book we're talking about today, Childhood Narcissism: Strategies to Raise Unselfish, Unentitled, Empathetic Children.  Who doesn't want their children to be generous, well-rounded, and empathetic?!  Dr. Little and I dig into successfully developing the four structures in parenting that will protect against narcissism in your child. She also describes how to find moderation in your parenting with your child's concept of self, emotional regulation, ability to accurately perceive, and positive modeling of love and relationships. So many good gems in this conversation.  If you would like to connect with Dr. Mary Ann Little, you can visit her website, drmaryannlittle.com, or find her on Social Media: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram If you find yourself nodding along at any point in this episode, please share it with another parent who might find it useful.

Most of us wonder what we can do to raise happy, successful kids; the answers aren't always obvious or easy!  In this solo episode, we are digging into what the research shows about raising securely attached kiddos who thrive socially, emotionally, and cognitively from preschool through adulthood. Not surprisingly, perhaps, the answer starts with us: how we show up is key.  To help parents do that well, we're talking today about the 4 S's, which were developed through the brilliant work of Drs. Dan Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson .  The 4 S's are a beautiful framework for thinking about what's important and how we show up,  and provides parents with some clear, concrete strategies for ensuring that we are parenting with presence and connection.  We can all help our children feel Safe, Seen, Soothed, and Secure; I'm sharing why it's important, how to do it, and some successes and learning moments for me as a mom.  As always, I would love to support you. If you need help with the 4 S's or anything else in parenting, please reach out christy@theheartfulparent.com or come see how The Heartful Parent Academy can give you the support and sense of community you might need.  Resources: The Power of Showing Up by Dr. Dan Siegel and Dr. Tina Bryson

New Year's resolutions are not really my thing, but I do like a reset around this time of year. So as we start 2024, I'm asking these questions (for myself and for you): What do you want for yourself, as a parent, professional, a friend, a human? What do you want for your partnership (if you're parenting with a partner)? What will make 2024 feel like a success to you?  And what are you willing to do to get the things you want?  With these questions in mind, I offer you my ingredients that make up my Recipe for a Good Life.  Some of these are my own gems of wisdom and some I got from other people who have positively impacted my own life. Just like with any new recipes you try, you might make some tweaks or changes, but this is a good place to start. Happy New Year!  If you are finding yourself struggling with how to build a Recipe for a Good Life, I would love to support you. Reach out to me christy@theheartfulparen.com or consider joining The Heartful Parent Academy. It can be a great place to find the support that will help you have that good life.

In this episode, recorded during a Buddhist Geeks Retreat, Vince Fakhoury Horn teachings on several ways to meditate, including Concentration, Mindfulness, Heartfulness, Inquiry, Awareness, Embodiment, and Imaginal forms of practice. Each approach to meditation leads to different results, even as the ultimate goal remains the same, which is to realize the essential nature of mind, and be able to embrace the ongoing journey of exploration and growth.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Teri Schmidt defines leadership as “courageously using your talents as a way for others to courageously use theirs”, and I have to say that is a nice picture of leadership. Teri is a repeat guest on The Heartful Parent Podcast, and she is back to not only define servant leadership, she is here to teach us how to become strong leaders.  Imposter syndrome is real, and the world has unfortunately conditioned us to think of leaders a certain way. Teri reframes this for us, and explains how our identities can become tied up into the “Drama Triangle”. In this representation, we can get a little bit stuck in the role of hero/rescuer, villain, and/or victim.   Teri and I dig into misinterpretations of leadership and how to recognize and function within the role that we gravitate towards. There are so many parallels between taking a leadership role in the workplace and parenting. We want you to be able to tap into your talents to excel at both.  If you missed Teri's first time on the podcast, make sure to go check out Episode 8: Growing in Our Leadership at Home and at Work.  Resources: Episode 8: Growing in Our Leadership at Home and at Work  Teri Schmidt LinkedIn Serve and Thrive Leadership Assessment www.strongertoserve.com  

We are back for the second half of the ‘mealtime battles' conversation with my good friend and colleague Christine Muenz. If you missed part on, go check it out Eliminating Mealtime Battles––Part 1.  In this episode, I'm firing all my feeding, food, and mealtime questions at Christine. And she offers her thought provoking perspective on how mealtimes can play out on a daily basis. She shares how some of the philosophies that we use to feed our infants can transfer to feed our toddlers, children, and teens. And she talks about how we can maybe improve the choices we make around food and our bodies can keep us rooted in mutual respect with our kids and connection with our families.  Since Christine is now officially a “Friend of the Pod”, you will definitely hear more from her in the future. In the meantime, keep track of her new offerings on her website christinemuenz.com.  And I would love to hear from you! Drop a review or send me an email christy@thehearfulparent.com. And if you know another parent who has mealtime battles, and I'm guessing you can name a few, share part 1 and part 2 with them. We are not meant to do this alone!  Resources: christinemuenz.com Follow Christine on IG - @strengthandsurrender  

We're entering a new phase of our podcourse... We're shifting from more body-focused strategies to explore two crucial dimensions of our being: the mind and the heart. These realms hold immense power over our mood and wellbeing. Mindfulness grants us the ability to perceive reality as it truly is, free from the distortions of our thoughts and the surge of emotions that can sweep us up. Heartfulness, on the other hand, expands our capacity to stay open and to love ourselves more deeply. And when we tap into that, we can more authentically share that love outside ourselves. Be sure to listen to all of the upcoming episodes for powerful lessons and meditations to support you.   Sources and Notes: This episode is part of our Podcourse! To get the most of the course, you may want to follow along in order, beginning with episode #78 and you can visit the Podcourse Page to find all the episodes. However, these episodes can be listened to in any order and you can take action with any strategy that you feel connected to.  Resilience Quiz and free Mini-Course: Based on decades of clinical experience, we've created a model of resilience that is both helpful and practical. True to our approach at Natural Mental Health, we start with strengths. You'll identify these strengths in your Resilience Type.

Do you have mealtime battles in your house?  Most parents do, because there are a lot of confusing resources out there, and because most of us got some messed up ideas about food from how we were raised.  So to dig into this, I have my good friend and mentor Christine Muenz on the podcast to share her deep wisdom.   Christine is a parenting educator, lactation educator, and an infant feeding specialist. She teaches parenting classes at hospitals in the Seattle area and lectures at conferences for professionals who work with families in the stages of pregnancy and postpartum. And she is joining me for a two-part conversation on eliminating mealtime battles. *SIGH OF RELIEF* In this part of our conversation, Christine and I dig into the way we feed our children as infants and how this changes as kids grow and get older. And the decisions we make and the battles we pick can have unintended effects with our kids and in our families. Christine is not only the  ‘wisdom keeper' on this topic, she offers a perspective that will truly change how mealtimes play out and help you focus on connection with your family.  Christine is beginning to have all sorts of new offerings, so keep checking back to her website to see what's coming! christinemuenz.com Come back in two weeks for the second part of this conversation. And if you need support in the meantime, reach out! I would love to hear from you chrisy@theheartfulparent.com or see you in The Heartful Parent Academy (use code PODCAST to get your first month for only $7).  Resources: christinemuenz.com Follow Christine on IG - @strengthandsurrender  

“Mindfulness” is a word. And words have their power. When we call this practice “mindfulness”, it sets us up to have a particular kind of experience which in some ways, can be limiting. In this extended meditation, Thomas uses the word “heartfulness” to turn the tables and open up a new dimension of experience that perhaps you wouldn't have expected—the boundless Reality and Intelligence of the Heart. If you feel fed by the show, please support Mindfulness+ by sharing with a friend, leaving a review or making a tax-deductible donation to Lower Lights School of Wisdom.

Today's Episode Dr. Raj talks with Kamlesh D. Patel (Daaji), delving into his journey from a pharmacist to an advocate of heartfulness meditation. They explore how he incorporated this practice into his daily routine and went on to initiate a global movement, empowering individuals worldwide to embrace heartfulness. Today's Guest  Born in Gujarat in 1956, Kamlesh D. Patel (Daaji) displayed an early interest in meditation and spirituality. He started Heartfulness Meditation at the age of nineteen while studying to be a pharmacist. Soon after, he met his first Guru, Babuji, the second guide in the Heartfulness lineage. After graduating with honors from L.M. College of Pharmacy in Ahmedabad, Daaji married and moved to New York City. There, he and his wife raised their two sons, while he steadily built a successful pharmacy business. At the same time, Daaji continued to pursue his love of meditation as a devoted disciple of Babuji's successor, Chariji. Over the years, Daaji played an increasingly active role in the Heartfulness Movement, both organisationally and by spreading its message and teaching its method. In 2011, Chariji selected Daaji as his spiritual successor. As the leader of the Heartfulness Movement, Daaji now fulfills the many duties of a modern-day guru, traveling widely and extending his support to seekers everywhere. Daaji firmly believes in nourishing today's youth with practical self-management tools and universal values. Under his guidance, students and faculty in over 2,500 schools, universities, and colleges are now benefitting from a portfolio of value-based self-development programs. As a self-professed student of spirituality, Daaji devotes much of his time and energy to his personal research in the field of spirituality and consciousness, and regularly shares his findings through public speaking engagements, his website, and social media platforms, and in broadcast, print, and digital media. Daaji's articles have appeared in various leading publications including Huffington Post, Chicago Tribune, Times of India, and Business Standard. His well-received Radio City Swaran series, Dil Ki Awaaz, ran for twelve episodes. Daaji advocates bridging ancient tradition with modern scientific understanding and has assembled a team of one hundred scientists to research the physiological and genetic effects of meditation and yogic transmission. As he often says, “You are the experimenter, the experiment, and also its result.” Learn more about Daaji's practice here About Dr. Raj Dr Raj is a quadruple board certified physician and associate professor at the University of Southern California. He was a co-host on the TNT series Chasing the Cure with Ann Curry, a regular on the TV Show The Doctors for the past 7 seasons and has a weekly medical segment on ABC news Los Angeles.

Andrew begins a series of talks on the Brahmaviharas, sometimes referred to as The Heart Practices. These qualities of Lovingkindness, Compassion, Gratitude, and Equanimity are said to be sublime states that can be cultivated in one's heart and practiced in all aspects of life. Among the many beautiful teachings the Buddha offers, perhaps the heart practices are the most accessible and immediately beneficial for transforming suffering into peace and liberation from reactive habits of body, speech and mind. Enjoy!
