Parenting doesn’t come with a manual—but it does come with lessons (usually the hard way). In this episode, Amy shares the journey of raising her two boys and what conscious parenting has taught her along the way.

From learning to say “I’m sorry” to mastering the art of nervous system regulation, she reflects on how parenting shifts—from leading in front, to walking beside, to cheering from behind. It's all about raising confident, emotionally healthy adults—not just obedient kids.

Whether you're in the toddler trenches or parenting young adults, this episode offers support, laughter, and maybe a few aha moments 💛🎧

• Parenting styles should evolve: lead from the front, walk beside, then support from behind.
• Apologizing to children teaches humility and builds trust.
• Parents must regulate their own nervous systems to model emotional intelligence.
• Emotions aren't bad; showing children how to process them is a critical lesson.
• Keep the end goal in mind: raising healthy, happy adults—not simply obedient kids.

What if the real reason you're stuck isn’t mindset—but a memory your body hasn’t let go of?

From anxiety and burnout to breakthrough and peace... this one’s a game-changer.

• Trauma isn’t always “big”—seemingly small experiences can deeply affect our behavior and identity.
• Traditional talk therapy may not fully resolve trauma stored in the body; modalities like ART and EMDR help reprocess memories more effectively.
• High achievers often mask unresolved pain with performance, leading to burnout and emotional disconnection.
• Reprocessing traumatic memories can shift core beliefs and allow leaders to operate from a place of wholeness.

• Feelings are meant for feeling, not fixing. Many of us intellectualize our emotions instead of allowing ourselves to truly experience them.
• Stress makes us sick, slow, and stuck. Meditation isn’t just about relaxation—it’s a tool for high performance, resilience, and well-being.
• Receiving is just as important as giving. When we allow ourselves to receive love, help, and kindness, we create space for deeper connection and impact.
• Healing yourself today changes future generations. Science shows that trauma is passed down through generations—but so is healing.
• Meditation rewires the brain. It helps clear out past stress, making space for creativity, joy, and peak performance.

• Forgiveness is a gift to yourself. It’s not about excusing others—it’s about releasing your frustration and resentment.
• Recognizing a lack of love helps cultivate empathy. People who treat others poorly often lack self-love.
• What’s missing? If a situation lacks understanding, kindness, or love, consider bringing it rather than expecting it.
• Your perception shapes your reality. Training your mind to see the good in others changes the way you experience relationships.
• Send love, even to those who challenge you. Praying for someone’s happiness, even if they’ve hurt you, is a powerful way to let go.
