The Power of Acceptance with Seth Gillihan, PhD Sep 21, 2023

Show notes

Exploring the idea of radical aceptance with a licensed psychologist, author, and host of the Think Act Be podcast Seth Gillihan.

Life will bring many challenges, death of a loved one, a breakup, a health diagnosis, a sudden change in your plans, a missed opportunity.

When we let go of resistance, we lessen our suffering. When we accept things as they are, with mindful awareness and open heartedness, we find ease, comfort, flow and peace. We need to learn how to identify when it's time to persist and when it's time to accept.

Emotion Regulation for Parents with Hunter Clarke-Fields Jul 06, 2023

Show notes

Choosing to parent differently than your parents is not easy. Today's episode is a supportive, gentle, uplifting conversation to remind you to continue staying on the path of conscious parenting. Hunter Clarke-Fields, host of the Mindful Mama podcast, author and friend returns to the show again to talk about how you can ditch the unrealistic expectations of perfect parenting, bring intentionality to your communication, practice non-reactivity, restraint and emotion regulation.

Parenting without punishments not only works but it pays incredible dividends in the long-run. We can totally attest to this as parents of teenagers.

We share practical advice on giving yourself credit, allowing goodness to come in, dealing with feelings of unworthiness, not believing in your thoughts, staying present and more.
