Creating a More Beautiful World with Kindred Gardens

I gotta tell ya, I love me some visionaries! And that is exactly what Annie Cleary and Heidi Smidgell are. In this week's episode, Annie and Heidi of Kindred Gardens, a community gathering space here in Portland, OR share their journey and their dreams of creating a more beautiful world for our children - a childhood rooted in connection and community with hands in the soil.

Empowering Mamas Through the Birthing Portal with Naima Dutton

Naima Dutton is a birth keeper. She describes her three years of working within the NHS as a student as "slowly but surely broke my heart into many tiny pieces with each woman I witnessed being stripped of the rite of passage that belonged to her. I deeply wished that I could do my part to change these experiences and even the system itself." In this conversation, we share all the ways the industrial, medical birthing system is broken and what are better options for mamas. Naima is based in the UK so their form of healthcare may be different than ours here in the US. Regardless, wherever you reside in this world, I would imagine that we have the CHOICE to welcome our babies into this world in the sanctity of our own homes, surrounded by our nearest and dearest. This is how it's been done for eons, centuries. There are a myriad of options to stay grounded in your intuition and have a connected, powerful sovereign birth that respects you and the baby. That's the thing - the medical industrial birthing complex does not RESPECT mothers or babies. We must look this fact in the eye and seek to make changes where possible.

The Root Cause with Tazeen Dutton

I am always amazed at the breadth and depth of conversations that mothers share. In this conversation with Tazeen Dutton, a Root Cause and Body Stress Reduction Practitioner and mother of five, she shares about the root cause of her own illness and then we touch upon so much more - modeling resiliency, self-reflection as a tool for optimal health, the insidiousness of the Medical Industrial Complex and more.

Coherence Education with Andrew Freeman

Imagine an education where your child feels empowered. Where your child gets to feel like they matter and they have something worthy to contribute to the world. Where your child makes friends (online) that celebrate all his/her accomplishments. Where your child has access to world-renowned wisdom keepers such as Lynne McTaggert, Bruce Lipton, Gregg Braeden and more. Where, sometimes, you, too, as the parent will lean in to learn a thing or two. Welcome to Coherence Education! This conversation that I share with Andrew Freeman, founder of Coherence Education is truly provocative. It will really make you question why we even still subscribe to the industrial education complex. I guess old habits are slow to die.

Untigering and Unschooling with Iris Chen

Does the universe conspire with us as we parent? I'm sure it does. When Iris Chen, author of "Untigering: Peaceful Parenting for the Deconstructing Tiger Parent", was invited to a talk given by a friend, the message clicked and Untigering was born. And, she and her children are much better off because of it. Perhaps Iris' story will resonate with you and give you courage to see the ways that Spirit might be dropping bread crumbs along your parenting path.
