In this deeply honest and soul-nourishing episode, I sit down with spiritual teacher, author, and fellow conscious parent Elizabeth April for a raw conversation about parenting. We explore the journey of raising emotionally intelligent children while navigating our own healing, and how being a parent today is both a sacred responsibility and a revolutionary act.

We dive into the messy middle of motherhood—the overstimulation, the paradox of wanting freedom while loving your child so fiercely, and the guilt that bubbles up when we feel like we’re falling short. From toddler meltdowns to confronting ancestral patterns, this episode holds nothing back.

We talk about:

• Why overstimulation is a nervous system issue, not a mindset problem

• Big feelings in little bodies: how to stay grounded through toddler storms

• Whether it’s ethical to have kids when the world feels like it’s falling apart

• The sacred work of reparenting yourself while raising the next generation

• Why perfection in parenting is a myth—and what kids actually need from us

This conversation will leave you feeling seen, heard, and inspired to show up for your children—and yourself—more consciously. You don’t have to do it perfectly to do it powerfully.
