Journey towards conscious parenting with Sandra Fazio
Episode in
Little Sprigs Podcast
Sandra Fazio is the author and founder of The Conscious Parent Blog, where she writes and shares what it means to be a conscious parent through her own parenting journey, based on the teachings and methods of Dr. Shefali Tsabary, author of the NY Times Bestseller, The Conscious Parent.
Sandra is being trained and specializing in conscious parenting directly by Dr. Shefali Tsabary as a parent/family coach where she helps parents to create a deeper engagement with their children and a higher connectivity to themselves through the un-layering and evolution of the parental self.
During this episode, Sandra shares her intimate story of becoming a mother.
“When my daughter turned one in 2012, I consciously quit my long-standing six-figure career to be home full time.
Although this was a blessing to have had the choice to make happen, at the same time it was a huge adjustment from being a career person and having a very structured routine to a non-structured routine and no longer in “control of my day”.
At the prime age of 39, I found my daughter was “raising me” in ways I never thought possible.
Prior to motherhood, I had parenting “all mapped out” – from how it would “look” and “go”
Yet much to my surprise it was anything but what I expected.
With my (unconscious ego), I figured since I had all my “ducks lined up” that stepping into my new-found parenting was going to be pretty smooth.
Little did I know I was in for the biggest awakening of my life.”
She offers us a sneak peek in her incredible webinar,
5 Ways To S.H.I.F.T. Our Thoughts From Lack To Abundance

Sandra recently published an e-book which you can check out by clicking the link below:

We talk about what we feel really holds us back, as parents, from having the deeply connected relationship we want with our children.
Some Questions I Had:
As adults we come with a pretty strong agenda. Are there things you have learned along the way in your parenting journey that have helped you to honor who your daughter is, when she is pushing against your agenda?
How has empathy transformed your relationship and how do you use this during conflict with your child?
Are you aware, and can you share, how your own early childhood has affected your parenting style?
Do you get “triggered” by your daughter’s behaviors? And are you able to connect those “triggers” with something that you were lacking in your own early childhood?
It is some deep work to stay conscious and sit with the feeling of being “triggered” long enough to inquire what it is really about.
So when you were triggered and feeling “rejected”, were you able to dig into that and identify what you were thinking and believing in that moment?
Listen in to hear his raw and vulnerable answers.

The Truth Behind The Bedtime Battle

In this conversation, Andrew Newman of The Conscious Bedtime Story Club shares why he believes the last 20 minutes of each day are so precious.
When our attention and intention are in the right place during this time, it can transform, not only our lives, but the lives of our children.
Andrew’s deep insight and heartfelt perspective will guide you past the surface behavior issues and help you understand why getting your child to bed may be a struggle for you.
He offers us 4 factors that influence the quality of connection in the evening and 10 ways to connect without saying a word. Click Here To Grab Your Copy.
Listen in to hear about what inspired him to begin writing conscious bedtime stories and how you can get involved in the story club.
Here Is a Bit From Our Chat
“The intention of having a good connection at bedtime is to allow the difficulties of the day to have their place and to fall away, so that one can transition into sleep.
If parents can move from the authority position to the ally position, the experience can happen together.
For many restless souls, we have a deep desire to be seen and to have a feeling of a sense of belonging, and to be acknowledged for who we are, and to be supported for the difficulties that we had in our day.
I believe that when that happens, the body rests.
When the body rests, the transition to sleep and the ease of the argumentative phase will change in the family field.
If we wake up and in ourselves there is a blank slate, we are connected with ourselves, and we’ve got this beauty centered essence of ourselves, we can go out into the world with great enthusiasm that we can just BE ourselves.
If it is a good day, we may make it half way through the day before the world tells us we can’t be ourselves, in some way.
So we make a little adjustment at that point, and then another message comes in. Maybe it is on the sports field, wherever it happens, it is happening all the time.
There’s these little ways we are interpreting that we cannot be ourselves, and there’s no way to stop that.
Parents are creating this, teachers are creating this, adults are creating this, kids are creating this with each other, it’s happening everywhere.
But there is a way to reset that at the end of each day through this time and connection.
There is a validation moment that says, ‘So what happened today? How’d it go? What are you thinking about?
Sometimes you need to have the time and space to say, I acknowledge that that didn’t go as well as we had hoped, or let’s talk about what could be done differently next time.
These types of togetherness conversations happen, it is like setting the reset button so the next morning your child wakes up with their clean slate again.
They can rest well, without the psyche wrestling all night with who I am or whether or not I was right or wrong because I feel the connection, the love, the caring, and the belonging in this family.” -Andrew Newman

Raising Confident and Resilient Children with Teagan Bruce
Episode in
Little Sprigs Podcast
Download this interview
Today we are going to look at 2 distinct ways in which individuals view intelligence and learning, through mindset.
Mindset is a simple idea discovered by world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success.
Mindsets are beliefs, beliefs about yourself and your most basic qualities.
In her book, Mindset, Carol asks a questions right away, “Think about your intelligence, your talents, your personality.
Are these qualities simply fixed traits, carved in stone and that’s that?
Or are they things you can cultivate throughout your life?
Teagan Bruce, Co-Founder of RadiantGirl.org, takes us step by step on how we can transition from a “Fixed Mindset” to a “Growth Mindset”.
When we are living with a fixed mindset, we believe that our traits, our intelligence, and who we are cannot be changed. It keeps us concerned with how we will be judged and comparing how we measure up.
When we have a growth mindset, we see our qualities as things that can be developed through dedication and effort.
We see “failure” as an opportunity for growth and understand that no one has ever accomplished great things without years of passionate practice and learning.
So how do we foster this mindset in ourselves and our children?
Would you like to raise your children to connect, trust, and nurture their true selves?
Join Teagan and I on this step by step process that will empower you to cultivate a culture of risk-taking and positive self talk with the children in your life.
All the best,
Christina

Self Care As A Spiritual Practice

“Mothers have an untapped spiritual power within us…qualities of connection, nurturing, intuition and a spiritual authority that comes from our ‘being’, not our ‘doing’.” – Suzi Lula
Suzi Lula is a much-sought-after Spiritual Counselor, Teacher, and Inspirational Speaker who is an expert in the field of human transformation.
Combining her innovative teachings over her 18 years in private practice, along with her masters degree training in spiritual psychology, Suzi is transforming the way people think about motherhood.
Known as a visionary leader, Suzi challenges conventional wisdom that says mothers must sacrifice and martyr themselves to be good mothers and instead, guides them to the realizations that when they thrive, their children will flourish as well.
Her unique approach has led Suzi to be featured on The Today Show with Michael Bernard Beckwith on a piece highlighting Spirituality and the family. As well, alongside best-selling authors Dr. Shefali Tsabary (The Conscious Parent) and Neale Donald Walsch.
Suzi is redefining Motherhood as an Evolutionary Path, Limitless in it’s possibilities to change the very nature of our mothering experience and therefore raise an entire generation of happy, thriving individuals.
During the interview, Suzi addresses questions like:
Why do you think that, even when we know how important self care is, it is so difficult for mothers to commit to a self care practice?
For those mothers, whether working full time or a stay at home mom, who feel like they have zero time for themselves, do you have any suggestions to help them take a step back and find the space for Self-Care?
Why do you think that most mothers believe that Self-Care is selfish?
Why is Self-Care so important for mothers?
How can self-care really transform a mother’s life and relationship with her children?
What are the results you experience when mothers really take care of themselves?
We dig into these questions and much, much more.
Suzi ends our conversation by sharing why she feels Self-Care is a Spiritual practice and a way of life.
Listen in and allow her to give you full permission to love, pamper, and care for yourself so your children can thrive too. <3

Empowering Your Child Through Unconditional Love

“My love is unconditional. No matter what you could ever do, what you could ever say, where you could ever go, Mommy’s Love is unlimited. It will never stop, it will never be changed, and it will never go away.” – Emily Filmore
Meet Emily Filmore, one of the most compassionate, conscious, and unconditional lover of humans that I have met. She openly shares her path of spiritual parenting, what that means to her, and how she has managed to avoid the typical fallbacks in discipline.
With only one rule in her home, “Before you say or do anything, we ask, what would love do now?”
Do you wonder how anything gets done?
I did!
What about boundaries?
What about routine?
Listen in as she weaves us through a beautiful example of being fully present.
For generations we have been parenting from a place of deep fear, which leads to the desperate grasp at control tactics, threats, and bribes.
Is it possible for us to shift and parent from a place of love, trust, and connection?
How would the world change if we did?
Are you demanding “Respect” from your child, but confusing it with “Obedience”?
If you raise your child to be completely obedient, what kind of life are you preparing them for?
It takes time, effort, and moment by moment presence to parent consciously.
But it is important to ask ourselves, Do I want temporary compliance that leads to a life of resentment and separation, or do I want a deeply connected, life long relationship with my child that is based on trust and love?
Is your current parenting style raising your child to be a free thinker?
One of the biggest challenges in parenting is keeping the lines of communication open.
Emily discusses how she reassures her children that she is always on their side, that they can bring anything they experience to her.
One of her biggest fears is that they will have a challenge and fear her reaction and hide it from her.
Often times when someone ( your child, friend, partner…) comes to you with a difficult challenge, it is tempting to want try and fix it, offer advice, share a similar experience, etc.
It can be hard to truly hold space for them to be heard, felt and seen.
Emily shares how she offers her family and friends both simultaneously so they don’t feel alone or isolated and still feel heard.
Can we let go of the idea of right and wrong to meet our loved ones where they are?
As our children grow older and begin to judge themselves, how do they maintain trust that we will never stop loving them?
It is the worst feeling in the world to feel like we are on opposing teams with a loved one when a difference of feeling or opinion arises.
Listen in to hear what Sage, Emily’s 9 year old daughter, came up with on her own, as a sensory tool to use with her mother when things get too heated.
How can we hold space for our children, without freaking out or reacting, when they tell us something hard to hear about their experience?
It is hard when your child is coming to you with something you feel that could harm them, especially when you feel responsible for their well being.
So how do we communicate with them without blame, judgement, control, and fear?
Don’t worry, we are not pretending that any of this is easy…
In the end, Emily talks about why her, Laurie Lankins Farley, and Neale Donald Walsch decided to write Conversations With God for Parents.
They chose 18 of the 25 core concepts from Conversations With God that they felt were accessible for children.
I ask Emily to share one of the concepts with us, it’s meaning and purpose, and how we can bring this to children of mixed ages.
This insightful conversation is brought to a close with a warm reminder to allow Love to be our guide and we will find the connection, peace, and understanding that we all desire. <3
All the best,
Christina

5 Natural Human Emotions
Episode in
Little Sprigs Podcast
Download this interview
There are 5 Natural Emotions that all humans feel and need to express.
Love, Grief, Fear, Envy, and Anger.
Unfortunately, most of us were not allowed to fully express these feelings as children and struggle now as an adult.
The problem is, when the 5 natural human emotions are not allowed healthy expression, they turn into unnatural emotions that become very hard to work with.
Unexpressed Love becomes Possession.
Grief to Depression.
Fear to Panic.
Envy to Jealousy.
Anger to Rage.
Let’s take Grief on for a moment.
A lot of people think of Grief as losing someone you love.
But there are many other things in life that we may grieve for.
And for children, grief is very different.
They can experience grief by losing a favorite toy or blanket.
This can be hard for parents to understand.
“It’s just a blanket, we say…I will buy you a brand new one.”
But it’s not the same.
We need to take the time to see our children, tap into the feelings they are having and help them to move through them- without distraction or dismissal.
This is not an easy thing to do. It is a daily practice.
It requires that we realize that parenting is about us, not the child.
Even when our 3 year old throws themselves down in the grocery store and starts to scream and cry.
Take a moment and picture a parent standing over their child, demanding that they stop crying, threatening them, getting worked up and angry at them…
Which looks worse, the crying child, or the panicking adult?
But why do we panic?
We have our own “thoughts” around what it means when our children let loose, but we also fear the judgements from the people around us.
Can we take a pause here and agree as a community to support one another in bringing love, acceptance, support, and non judgement, as the adults on this planet allow our children to express their feelings without shame?
When you see this happening, look at the child with love.
Offer the parent a supportive look, or even say, “You are doing a great job.”
Our nonverbal communication is so powerful.
We are able to express all 5 of the natural human emotions nonverbally.
The best thing we can do when our children are having a big reaction, is to stay quiet. Observe. Be aware. Allow the child to feel the emotion fully in their body and know it is a natural part of them.
So many adults were not allowed to express their grief as children, which contributes to the high number of clinically depressed individuals today.
If you were not allowed to express love, maybe you have become possessive of your children or your spouse.
If you were not allowed to feel fear, you may be feelings panicked about everything as an adult. Or, you don’t want to show your panic so you simply try to control everything…
Now more than ever we need to be a spiritual partner for our children.
With the ability to connect, confide, and share with the entire planet, will we be the ones our children come to when they are struggling?
What happens when we react to our children with judgement, fear, reprimands, criticism, etc?
They take their deepest feelings and thoughts elsewhere.
What they really want is to be trusted and heard.
Can we truly be there for them without inserting our own agenda?
It’s hard. We have so many unexpressed emotions ourselves that need to be released. But after years of holding onto them, how do we begin to release them?
Acknowledgement is the first step.
Acknowledging that you might be part of the problem and taking responsibility for your part of the disconnection.
Our children are not intentionally “defying” us, trying to “trigger” us, or wanting to be “bad”.
They need us to understand that all behavior stems from an attempt to meet a basic need. So let’s get curious.
What could they be needing?
What could we be needing?
It is not our job to control them. We have to own the feelings we have about whatever our children are doing.
We all deserve to have the 5 natural human emotions to be a part of our journey.
Feelings cannot be wrong, they just are.
As a parent we have to be careful not to dump our emotions onto our children and hold them responsible for the way we feel.
When we can allow our children to express their natural emotions, without feeling responsible for them, a real partnership in life can begin.
A place of trust, understanding, and love.
This goes for any age and any relationship.
We have to move into a place of curiosity instead of judgement.
Most of the time, we are not fighting to be right, we are fighting to be heard.
When we can allows ourselves and the ones we love to fully experience our natural emotions, the dynamic of our relationships will change dramatically.
Another helpful tip that Laurie offers is to erase 2 words from your vocabulary, Success and Failure.
These are illusions.
Children have no idea what these words mean until we bring them into their lives.
Ask yourself what is really important as your child goes through school.
Is it that they are given an “A”, or that they develop good social skills, build their emotional intelligence, have empathy for others, find love, and are truly, truly happy?
Can we breathe into our lives and allow them to breathe into their own lives, stay authentic to their own paths?
There is a beauty in acknowledging that our children come through us, not to us. It frees everyone.
Some parents may get stuck in the idea of sacrifice. The “I must sacrifice everything I want and need for my children” mode.
This is not true and not healthy.
Our children want us to flourish just as much as we want them to flourish.
When we model for them how to stay true to our path, honor our heart, and love our daily lives, this gives them permission to do the same.
Our children are giving us one of the greatest gifts we can receive,
they are standing there as “mirrors” showing us all the places we need to grow.
In this interview we also touch on how the natural emotion of envy is the source of a lot of sibling rivalry and how not to let this turn into jealousy by shutting down that emotion.
Allowing our children to express their natural emotions fully, even a wild tantrum, mean they are not storing this stress in their body.
We speed through a lot of ideas and concepts through this conversation.

Setting Intention
Episode in
Little Sprigs Podcast
Download this interview
At each turn of the New Year,
People make lists of how they want to shift their lives.
Lose weight, stop smoking, set a routine, and so on.
Why does it sometimes feel like it’s effortless to let negative habits creep up, but when we want to change them, or add a new healthy habit, it feels nearly impossible?
We need to understand that our subconscious mind is working towards surviving, not thriving.
It’s only concern is to keep us alive and it knows that whatever we did yesterday worked.
Our present consciousness craves the change but our subconscious resists out of fear.
When setting intentions for the New Year, or any time for that matter, we want to make sure they are not just ideas we have created with our minds.
To set ourselves up for success and move into the direction we want to go, we need to connect deeply with our hearts.
Don’t let it be something you think you “should” do.
In this episode, Mariah shares the process she takes herself through to ensure she is clear on her “what”, “why”, and “how” to set intentions that actually stick.
She begins with some journal writing on the areas she would like to review.
Some examples are:
Health
Relationships
Community
Connection to Spirit
Mothering
If we look at the example of Mothering, you might ask yourself,
“How do I want to show up for my children?”
“What does that look like?”
“What does that feel like?”
“Do I need support for this and if so, from whom?”
Some Helpful Tips
Take the time to visualize your goal, to envision it already happening. Set up visual reminders.
This could be anything from a vision board, inspirational quotes on post its, or a simple stone that represents health and well being.
Ask yourself why this is important to you.
If this goal is accomplished, how would my life change? The life of my family?
What is it costing me to not make this shift?
Is this something I really want, or just something I think I should do?
Get an accountability partner, someone you love and trust that you can check in with about your goals.
This could be once a week through a phone call or meet up for coffee or a walk.
Offer each other empathy and support.
No judgement.
Focus on how you want your life to be, not what you don’t like. Frame your thoughts and plans with affirmative language.
For example, “I want to start eating more vegetables in my diet.” Instead of, “I want to stop eating so much sugar.”
Develop a Gratitude Practice.
You will be amazed at how different your day feels by taking 5 minutes each morning when you wake to take a few deep breaths and say 3 things you are grateful for.
Challenge yourself by coming up with 3 new things each day.
Habits are very hard to change!
Be gentle with yourself.
Move into them with curiosity and knowing that you will feel resistance.
Especially if you are shifting something that includes children.
Allow them to express their feelings about it and talk with them about why it is important.
The push back doesn’t mean it isn’t working. It is tempting to give up after a few weeks of difficulty.
Breath. Reassess. Meditate. Reconnect. Be Curious. Love.
All the best,
Christina
