There is a moment between the inhale and the exhale—
a quiet, often unnoticed space where your whole life softens for just a breath. Most moms rush past that space.We fill it with to-dos, expectations, guilt, and the pressure to keep going. Silence can feel uncomfortable… even unsafe.

But what if that pause is actually your doorway back to yourself?

In this episode of the Mama Genius Podcast, we explore the

Circle Principle: 💫 Use Silence for ReflectionIn women’s circles, silence is not awkward.
It’s alive.
It’s where you stop performing and finally feel.
It’s where your nervous system settles, your truth rises, and clarity becomes possible.

Today I’m joined by Sande Hart—mother, grandmother, author of The Liminal Odyssey, and founder of the Global Woman’s Village. Together, we explore:

• How women’s circles create safety and deep connection
• The “pregnant pause” and why the liminal space changes us
• Why silence is the most powerful moment in every circle
• How belonging forms when women sit eye-to-eye without fixing or judging
• Why reclaiming reflection time is essential for mothers, leaders, and creators

This episode became something unexpected—
a stirring of the pot, a breaking open, a remembering of what women’s circles are truly about.
So we’re calling this Part 1.

💛 Part 2 will be a full women's circle led by Sande, where we step into the liminal space together.

When fear takes over, it often shows up in our voices—snapping, rushing, over-explaining. We want to protect, but what our kids (and our hearts) need most is presence.

In this soul-grounded conversation, Michelle DeKeyser and Abigail Price—known as That Psalm 91 Lady—explore what it means to speak from the heart and choose faith over fear. Through guided meditation, reflection, and heart-centered conversation, they show how the words we speak shape our homes, our peace, and our connection with God.

💛 This episode blends grounding practice, biblical truth, and practical wisdom to help you stop reacting from fear and start responding with faith.

In every women’s circle, Speak From the Heart invites us to share truthfully and tenderly—without judgment, advice, or performance.
It’s about presence, not persuasion.
You don’t speak to fix anyone; you speak to connect—with yourself, with others, and with the Divine.

In this episode, Michelle and Abigail explore how that same practice applies to motherhood and faith—learning to speak peace over chaos, declare promises over fear, and let your heart guide your words.

In this heartfelt conversation, Michelle DeKeyser and guest Symone Fairchild open the new season of The Mama Genius Podcast with an honest exploration of what it means to belong.

Through grounding, reflection, and story, they remind us that connection begins not with others—but within ourselves.

Together, she and Symone explore moments of disconnection, the courage to show up, and the freedom that comes when we finally stop hiding.
