November 11, 2022 22:00 - 49 minutes - 33.8 MB

This is the final episode of the Soul Path Parenting podcast and it's a special one!  The catalyst for the podcast was a simple yet powerful question that Amy's daughter Ayla asked when she was 3. "Mommy, what's going to happen to me when I die?"  Now, as we complete our podcast journey, we are joined by Larry Cooper, Ayla's grandpa and Amy's father-in-law, to gain perspective from what he learned from multiple near death experiences.  Also joining the conversation are Ayla, now 7, and Axel,...

75: Lauren's Love Affair with Death

May 02, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 42.9 MB

This is a topic that we've been planning to talk about for quite some time and (ironically!) it finally became very alive for us.  In our chat about Lauren's "love affair with death" (her words!) we talk about the role of death in transformation  -- what it means to allow our old stories and beliefs to die.  We also talk about our relationship with our own eventual physical death and what that means for how we live.  Join us for a lively conversation about death!

74: Freedom and Aliveness

March 16, 2022 22:00 - 50 minutes - 34.6 MB

We're back!  After a Covid-induced hiatus, we're back and talking about aliveness.  What happens when we follow our sense of what's most alive in the moment and create from that space?  What does this mean for our work, our passion projects, our family life?  How does this idea of "aliveness" interact with our relationship with time?  And, how might we learn from and with our children about this?  

73: Learning Styles: The Different Ways We Learn (and Play!) -- Sivanne Lieber, Parenting Coach, Educator, The Joyous Parent

January 18, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 58.5 MB

This episode has been a long time coming! Two years ago in Episode 16, we had our first conversation on education with Dr. William Spady, the father of outcome based education. He said that only a quarter of learners learn best in the traditional academic way, which is truly astonishing how few of us are thriving in the school setting. This sparked the question, what about the rest of learners? How do people learn and how can we better support them in schools?  We’ve done a whole series on ...

January 04, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 51.2 MB

71: Holding Space for Grief -- Sherri Doucette, Founder, Litehouse Wellness

December 21, 2021 12:00 - 57 minutes - 39.4 MB

Grief, death, and loss can be such painful subjects to discuss, understand, and live with.

Inspired by Eckhart Tolle’s book, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose, Amy and Lauren explore the idea of authentic connection. We discuss how the roles we inhabit and the stories we construct around who we are “supposed” to be can hold us back from deeper connection. Joined by Lauren’s husband and life partner, Brett, we delve into what it means to be truly authentic, in our relationships and within ourselves. In this episode we talk about: Lauren and Brett’s love story, their s...

It’s Thanksgiving week and what better way to celebrate than by talking about giving and gratitude!

October 26, 2021 11:00 - 52 minutes - 36.3 MB

Have you ever felt two seemingly contradictory feelings or thoughts at the same time? It can be confusing, frustrating, and make us feel like we have to choose between those feelings or thoughts, but do we really have to fight against the contradictions? This week Amy and Lauren explore how we can live in - and love - the contradictions that are inherent to life and find beauty in both/and. In this episode we talk about: Breaking down false dichotomies and holding space for all things. Ho...

66: Feeling Our Way to Wholeness: Calm & Content

October 12, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 45.6 MB

Calm and content reflect the opposite of some of the more volatile, unpleasant, and high energy feelings like anger, anxiety, and fear that we’ve discussed in prior episodes. Often seen as a desired destination on the feelings spectrum, calm and content are pleasant, but can be more difficult to embody than other feelings. So how do we get there?  This series has been an invitation to feel all of your feelings and connect authentically in the moment with all parts of yourself. While we leav...

September 28, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 51.2 MB

Play - it’s fun, it’s joyous, it’s creative, it’s good for our bodies and souls - so why don’t we do it more often? Why are work and play considered polar opposites? And why is play largely confined to early childhood?  This week we join the Play Revolution with parenting coach, educator, play enabler, and self-proclaimed joyous parent, Sivanne Lieber! Tune in as we explore the power of play and the ways we can all benefit from a little more joy in our lives. In this episode we talk about:...

64: Reimagining Education: What School Could Be -- Ted Dintersmith, Author & Film Producer

September 14, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 52.4 MB

One of the things that most lights us up here at Soul Path Parenting is talking about what’s possible. In our Reimagining Education Series we’ve been focusing on what's possible in education, and this episode’s guest wrote an entire book about exactly that called, What School Could Be. Ted Dintersmith spent his career in innovation before becoming a change agent in education, focusing on reimagining school to keep pace with the tsunami of innovation that is reshaping society.  This begs the...

August 17, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 48.8 MB

How does the way a school views its students impact their learning? What happens when we radically trust students and educators? How can we better integrate communities into schools? And what could alternatives to large class sizes look like?   This week, we explore these questions as we continue to Reimagine Education with our inspiring guest Miguel Gonzalez, the Director of Embark, a micro-school here in Denver, Colorado embedded into a coffee shop and a bike shop! Join us as Miguel discu...

61: Feeling Our Way to Wholeness: Anxiety

August 03, 2021 11:00 - 59 minutes - 40.9 MB

Anxiety can show up for us in many different ways. For some, it is an ever present companion, for others it’s triggered by work, social interactions, or new experiences. It can motivate or debilitate us, but no matter how anxiety presents itself in our lives, it is an unpleasant feeling that can be hard to shake once it takes root.     Join us in the second to last installment of the Feeling Our Way to Wholeness Series, as Amy and Lauren discuss anxiety! In this episode we talk about: How...

59: Feeling Our Way to Wholeness: Fear

July 06, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 44 MB

Fear is one of our most primal feelings. The feeling of fear can lie on a spectrum from an agitated bubbly excitement to a survival level driver that activates our fight, flight, or freeze response. Fear can live in our bodies - taking root with trauma - and can easily overwhelm us. As parents, fear for our children can be extremely painful and all consuming. So how do we live with our fear? Tune in as Amy and Lauren explore how we can parent and move through fear in this episode of the Fee...

June 22, 2021 11:00 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MB

In this week’s episode, Amy is joined by certified professional astrologer and parenting coach, Tara Vogel, as they explore how astrology can help guide us in our parenting journey!  Astrology can be a tool for awakening and self-actualization that gives insight into our struggles, pain points, and gifts -- so what does that mean for us as parents?

June 08, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 47.2 MB

In this episode we talk about: What the somatic, bodily experience of anger feels like. How anger shows up in our lives and relations...

56: Feeling Our Way to Wholeness: Joy & Sadness

May 25, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 72.7 MB

In our second installment in the Feeling Our Way to Wholeness Series, Amy and Lauren tackle joy and sadness! While we might assume that joy and sadness are perpetually at odds with one another, these interconnected feelings are more like two sides of the same coin, essential and inseparable from one another. So how do we reconcile these differing energies and move past some of the misconceptions and harmful hierarchies around joy and sadness?  Join us as Amy and Lauren share their insight i...

55: Feeling Our Way to Wholeness: Series Introduction

May 11, 2021 11:00 - 38 minutes - 26.3 MB

In this episode we’re kicking off another new series that’s all about feelings! Sometimes our feelings can be overwhelming and confuse us, making it difficult to express what we’re really going through. So how do we become welcoming towards whatever it is we are actually feeling in the moment? How do we face it, acknowledge it, engage with it, feel it, and allow it to be what it is, and then consciously and intentionally move from there?  This series centers around becoming empowered and ma...

54: Yes, No, and Maybe So: How to Answer Authentically and Teach our Kids to do the Same

April 27, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 53 MB

Yes and no aren’t always the polar opposites we make them out to be. There can be hell yeses and hell noes, maybes, I don’t knows, and everything else in between.

In this episode, Amy and Lauren discuss the yes-no spectrum, how we can give authentic answers and teach our children to do the same.  In this conversation, we explore: The yes-no polarity misconception and how we can instead see yes and no as a ...

52: Cruci-FICTION: Awakening from the False Story of Judgment, Sin and Separateness -- Patricia Pearce, Spiritual Teacher and Author, Beyond Jesus

March 30, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 46.7 MB

As a child, I remember often being told, "Jesus died on the cross for your sins."  He did?  More than anything, this was profoundly confusing.  (I remember thinking, "but he didn't even know me....").  In previous episodes (ep. 28 & 44), we have come to know Jesus as a wisdom teacher.  We have come to understand his message of oneness.  So how do we make sense of his teachings and the messages of sin & judgment?    Patricia Pearce -- spiritual teacher and author of Beyond Jesus -- is back...

Reincarnation: Stories of Children Who Remember Past Lives -- Tom Shroder, Author, Old Souls

February 02, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 51 MB

In this episode, we talk with Tom Shroder, an award winning journalist and author of Old Souls.  Tom became interested in reincarnation in the late '80s after interviewing Brian Weiss (Many Lives, Many Masters).  He was intrigued, but skeptical.  These tales of past lives from hypnotic regressions lacked the kind of concrete, specific details that could be verified.  Then...he came across the work of Dr. Ian Stevenson. Dr. Stevenson spent 37 years traveling the world to investigate and docu...

47: Bridging the Political Divide; Transforming Conflict into Connection -- Chris Sautter, Entrepreneur & Intentional Communicator

January 19, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 54.5 MB

How do we intentionally co-create connecting conversations, particularly when they are about topics that tend to be divisive like politics? How do we ensure that everyone’s voice is heard, and each person feels seen and valued as they are? How might we model for and teach our children to relate to difference from a place of mutual respect and curiosity? These are some of the ideas we explore in this episode about shifting our communication from competitive to connecting.  In this episode, L...

46: Transformation: Powerful Possibilities for the Stories We Tell and the Lives We Create

January 05, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 44.1 MB

We are so excited to bring you this conversation because it’s about a topic that has quite literally changed our lives: transformation.

We have come to understand that when we are aware of the transformation process and our role in it, we can then consciously engage in it with choice.  Our wish is to empower others -- you the listener! -- to have this awareness and...

45: Parenting Myth #7: Parents Need to Be in Control -- Conscious Parenting Coaches Angelica Bastida & Kelly O’Loughlin

December 22, 2020 12:00 - 40 minutes - 27.8 MB

This myth is my absolute FAVORITE!  The myth that "parents need to be in control" is both culturally pervasive AND extremely destructive.  I see this as the "macro myth" that everything in Conscious Parenting connects to in some way.  Understanding and unwinding our relationship with control has the power to transform everything. This is the last episode in our 8-episode series on  Conscious Parenting and the myths that Dr. Shefali Tsabary so beautifully distinguished in her book, The Awake...

43: Parenting Myth #6: Parenting Is About Raising a Happy Child -- Conscious Parenting Coaches Aneika Perez & Tia Fagan

December 01, 2020 12:00 - 30 minutes - 20.9 MB

I love this myth so much!  I believe that by unlocking our beliefs about happiness (and the ways we are blocking it!), we can transform our lives.  For those of us who are Americans, we are born into a nation so committed to the pursuit of happiness that it's in the Declaration of Independence.  And yet, this "pursuit" is exactly what has the power to make us unhappy.  This show is the seventh in our 8-part series on Conscious Parenting and the parenting myths Dr. Shefali Tsabary shared in ...

42: Parenting Myth #5: A Good Parent is a Loving One -- Conscious Parenting Coaches Suzy Blais & Jenny Ng

November 17, 2020 12:00 - 32 minutes - 22 MB

Here's the myth we're talking about in this episode: "A good parenting is a loving one."   If you’re thinking, "Hang on!  How is that a myth?," well, you're not alone!  That’s what I first thought when I read it.  But at the heart of this myth is one of the most profound insight in parenting and in life -- an insight that will have you understand love in a whole new way by the time this episode is done. This show is the sixth in our 8-part series on Conscious Parenting and the parenting my...

November 11, 2020 18:00 - 54 minutes - 37.3 MB

I can hardly believe it!  It's been a year since Soul Path Parenting launched.  We have learned soooo much!  We've asked dozens of experts — from therapists to educators, from parenting coaches to mediums and spiritual leaders — how we set our kids up to live their best lives, their most authentic expression of who they’re meant to be.  We've been showered with wisdom & inspiration.  Don't you just wish someone could boil down all that goodness into say, a 15 minute synopsis of the 3 most ...

November 03, 2020 12:00 - 25 minutes - 17.9 MB

Today we are talking about parenting myth #4: Good parents are naturals.  And I have to tell you, it only took days into being a parent (maybe just hours!) for me to realize that it didn't come as naturally as I thought it would!  This show is the fifth in our 8-part series on Conscious Parenting the parenting myths Dr. Shefali Tsabary so beautifully shared in her book, The Awakened Family.    To bring this myth to life, we are joined by three inspiring Conscious Parenting Coaches who gen...

October 20, 2020 11:00 - 48 minutes - 33.1 MB

October 06, 2020 11:00 - 36 minutes - 25.2 MB

This is one of my favorite parenting myths and has probably made the biggest difference for me in my life personally and as a parent!  Here it is: "a successful child is ahead of the curve."  Depending on where you are in your parenting journey, you may see this myth for what it is.  Or, maybe you're like I was and this sounds like a an absolute truth. This show is the third in our 8-part series on Conscious Parenting the parenting myths Dr. Shefali Tsabary shared in her inspiring book, The...

37: Parenting Myth #1: Parenting is About the Child -- Conscious Parenting Coaches Jen Klein, Janet Philbin, and Claudia Pape

September 22, 2020 11:00 - 36 minutes - 24.9 MB

September 15, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 42.3 MB

Over the 10 months of this podcast, we have focused on exploring one important & inspiring question:  “How do we set our kids up to live their best lives?... to be the most authentic expression of who they’re meant to be?”  I’ve asked this question of therapists, educators, coaches, religious leaders, and spiritual teachers.  And if I could only choose one answer to share with the world, it would be this: parent consciously.  But how do we get started?  That's what we're going to talk about!...
