Today we had the pleasure of meeting Niro Feliciano, a psychotherapist, author and national media commentator. We first saw Niro on the documentary series Secrets of Hillsong, where she gave her perspective on spiritual community.

We discuss her relationship with faith, helping others heal from spiritual abuse, and how God can speak to us through people in our lives. She also shares how science and spirituality connect, the importance of keeping an open mind to new concepts and how to use discernment when entering a spiritual community.

Hi friends! This special BONUS episode is all about finding spirituality in these crazy times. My friend and psychotherapist, Niro Feliciano, interviewed me for her podcast, All Things Life, and the conversation was so great, I had to share it here too. We talk all about my search for spirituality beyond religion--including my recent meeting with a medium and my birth charting with an astrologer, as well as elements from my religion of Catholicism that speak to me the most, and the least. We talk about finding individual journeys toward spiritual strength, and questions like, Do you need someone there as an intermediary to "reach" God? Why did I choose these nontraditional paths to find my spiritual center? How do we truly "hear" God? ...and more. I also cry toward the end, so there's that! :| Enjoy, and check out Niro's podcast, All Things Life, wherever you get your podcasts. @NiroFeliciano @SonniAbatta www.SonniAbatta.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wegottatalkwithsonni/support

I took a break from social media in December, and I could not believe the difference in my mood and clarity. This episode is not here to guilt us as parents - but to equip us! My guest, Niro Feliciano, is a psychotherapist, mom of four kids and regular contributor on The Today Show. She speaks in a language we can understand. She shares about brain science and how the dopamine high/low pattern is really impacting the moods and wellbeing of our children (and us). I saw Niro's reel on the “dopamine deficit” weeks ago and reached out to her immediately to continue that conversation on this podcast. Her reel is one that you can share with your teens. If you are seeing signs of depression and anxiety in your teens - do not miss this episode.My favorite part is when she gives grace at the end. Don't go straight to condemnation of your parenting. If you feel you have failed your kids with technology. It's not too late to make changes and help them through the reality of living in a digital world.Who is ready to try a quick 24-hour or weekend reset and report back?Enjoy!Courtney00:00Weather and Family Updates06:01Navigating Parenting Teens12:02Understanding Dopamine Deficit18:01Recognizing Symptoms of Dopamine Deficit23:42Understanding Temperament and Personality Types30:24Embracing Parental Imperfection and GrowthConnect with Pardon The Mess:Christian ParentingPardon The Mess Courtney DeFeoGet your 2024-2025 prayer journal, A Life of FaithResources from today's show:Connect with NiroThis Book Won't Make You Happy - Niro's book on contentment All Is Calmish - Niro's newest book (pre-order available)Niro's instagram reel on Dopamine - show your kids!!Niro's January segment on The Today Show - Grace!The Anxious GenerationDopamine Nation Pardon The Mess is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
