Post-Partum Depression is a deeply difficult topic and one Kara is well versed in. 

Paulette and Kara share the common myths about motherhood, postpartum anxiety and depression and the recovery process. 

Kara bravely shares her story and gives hope to all women who battle the darkness a way out to experience the joy of motherhood they deserve. 

Kara thought at 6 weeks she was well past the time frame of being diagnosed with postpartum anxiety and depression and could not understand why at the 6 month birthday of her son the darkness began...so much so leaving her bed was an enormous undertaking. 

She silently uttered "I'm pretty sure something wrong with me" but didn't know what to do or where to turn.  

She was afraid of being stigmatized and branded a bad or incompetent mother so she tried to be brave and tough it out. She took the advice of her dad and went for walks in nature, she took the advice of her sister and went to yoga, she took the advice of her friends and went out for wine and girls weekends away....but nothing worked. 

Join Paulette and Kara for this scary, beautiful and moving of recovery and motherhood. 

Kara shares her favorite quote she learned from this experience. 

"Just because you don’t see the reason does not mean it’s not there!"

Kara sponsors "Climbing Out Of The Darkness" events annually at www.serembe.com where she lives and can help with more information about hosting one in your area.

Marjorie Scriven AKA Margie Pargie: The Aerial Yoga Goddess Content Magician!!

Margie and Paulette chat real, raw, and honest about polyamory, delaying marriage and relationship, nomad life, living in the "far out" land of Maui, being an online social media presence and the 

Margie originally from Sarasota FL found yoga after a marathon injury. She later manifested a scholarship for aerial yoga training and never looked back. She soon opened her own aerial yoga studio and began her social media journey. 

But Margie longed to find her independence and yearned to seek a different community. Kundalini yoga resonated with Margie and her brand is growing stronger now that she has landed in the slow chill vortex of "far out" Maui. 

Maui is a community of healers but "if you are not okay being alone, it's not the place for you." 

She shares the tools to develop an online presence by sharing from your heart, excavating childhood beliefs and showing up fully, how to cope with putting yourself out there and the haters that come along with the territory, waiting to get involved in a relationship and delaying the societal need to get married and knowing that being together is enough. 

Margie is now launching her own TV show and preparing for the WBFF (World Beauty Fitness and Fashion) competition held this November in Miami

Christina Caputo Fenton: Addiction is Everywhere!

Addiction does not come in a nice neat package. 

To Lead by Example is the best cure for addiction for children.

Yoga was the cherry on top. 

Meet Tina: a Boston girl who is significantly making a difference in the lives of so many suffering from addiction. 

Tina and Paulette don’t believe in accidents.  

They met on a terrible day for Tina in the Scituate Harbor parking lot that changed both of their lives for the better. Tina was standing with her brother with her head buried in her brothers arms still grieving the loss of her sister and now her father too 

2014 after the death of her dear father “the rock of the family” 

Tina found herself at 27 a single mother having to raise a little boy on her own. 

She had to grind it out and work long hours to support herself and her young son and quickly grew a loyal clientele. Tina became a master stylist and colorist and grew the confidence to open her own salon and spa that she named Marilexei hairsalan and spa. 

Tina found fitness as a way of dealing with her grief and become a Spinning and fitness instructor. 

Tina at the age of 27 knew she had developed an alcohol problem 

Needed to make a change 

Tina joined a 12 step program and changed her life 

Tina continued to attend AA meetings and doing the right thing

She then found the courage to open her own the salon 

But it wasn’t until the tragic death of her sister in 2011 

Began the "Nicola Maria Foundation" in her dedication to create education, awareness and opportunities to combat opioid addiction that significantly shifted her work and living her life purpose. 

So many people crave spirituality and enlightenment. 

So many people crave feeling accepted loved. 

So many people want to experience moving into the conscious mind. 

People will often ask me: “How do I get there?” “How do I find peace?”

Sobriety is a Journey 

Yoga is a Journey 

Yoga made the 12 steps deeper. 

The parallels between them are immeasurable.

Yoga and The Four Desires process forced me to ask the questions, the deep questions, the dark questions of who and what I am and made me dig deep, deeper than I had ever wanted to go. 

Tina is changing the stigma of addictions so many suffer in silence. 

As a resource for the community please Follow the Nicola Maria Foundation August 18th “Comics for a Cause” on Social Media.

The Voice of Child-Centered Divorce

Divorce & Co-Parenting Coach

Paulette and Rosalind met in March at the NADP conference where Rosalind was a guest panel expert on child centered divorce and parenting. 

Rosalinds words of wisdom and clarity hit a soft spot in Paulette as they connected immediately when we shared their stories of divorce.

Rosalind is the Author of: How Do I Tell the Kids About the Divorce?  

She created her book to answer that difficult question, How do I break the divorce news to him?

It’s creative, helpful and hopeful templates and scripts allow for the personalization of copy and photos to allow each child to walk through this new challenging chapter in their life.

You will find her website and network incredibly useful and practical. 

www.childcentereddivorce.com

Founder, Child-Centered Divorce Network 

Every decision we make impacts the children. Even if we are struggling with the other parent it’s always vital to remember that they will always be a part of their lives. 

Would I be making the same decision if we were still married? We find it easy to use “bad cop, good cop” with each other. But when the ego is involved or one spouse is trying to hurt the other the children suffer. 

Roselind and Paulette discuss 

What are the most common and dreadful mistakes parents make in the divorce process? 

Rosalind expertly defines and describes the extreme cases of Parent Alienation and reminds us that despite it all we are 

role models for our children 24/7.

Surprise fact! Rosalind is also and expert on dating after divorce.

Join Stacie and Paulette as they walk down the path of divorce recovery after the pain and overwhelm of divorce. Divorce can be the catalyst for transformation and that was the case for both Stacie and Paulette. They met in Boston at an event for Mastin Kipp and again six months later in Bali where they went to join Mastin and his team of experts to write and five years later Stacie has not looked back.  You will benefit from her experience and wisdom in this fun and insightful conversation. 

Stacie McCoy has more than 25 years of experience directing and supporting early childhood education and non-profit family service programs in New England. For more than three years, she was fortunate to oversee her county’s Community Action Partnership Child and Family Services programs, including Head Start, Early Head Start, and Early Head Start Child Care Partnership programs, as well as CAPSC’s Healthy Families America and Comprehensive Family Support Services home visiting programs. She has supported adult education and parent journeys towards self-sufficiency, both as a program facilitator for the New Hampshire Employment Program’s Workplace Success Program and as a Learning and Development Specialist for Kaplan Higher Education. 

As New Hampshire team Lead in Washington DC, Stacie worked with the National Head Start Association and state lawmakers, advocating for Head Start families. She was later honored with an invitation from the National Center on Early Childhood Health and Wellness and the American Academy of Pediatrics to be a panelist at the “Understanding How the Opioid Crisis and Substance Use Disorders Impact Head Start Children, Families, and Staff: Creating a Path Forward” Workshop in Washington, D.C. Her passion for healing the victims of, and her community as a whole from, the impact of substance misuse lead her to her most recent position as executive director of a recovery meeting house that provides meetings and support groups for people in New Hampshire and southern Maine 365 days of the year.

Professional and personal experience drives Stacie’s belief that individuals and families are best able to heal, transform, and shine brightly when met with a compassionate, strength-based approach. Continuing on her mission to help others on that path, she is in the process of building a practice focusing on guiding couples, parents, and businesses through the complicated layers of friction and conflict toward healing, resolution, and wellness. 

Stacie lives in Rollinsford, New Hampshire, with her two amazing children and her guinea pig, Nan. She is an audiophile, an INFJ (Myers-Briggs says so), and is very much behind in editing the completed draft of her first book -- because she would much rather be on the sidelines and in the stands cheering wildly for her son and daughter. She can be reached at [email protected]  and found sharing very occasional, pithy blog posts at thedatingrookie.blogspot.com.

 Join Belinda and Paulette as they explore all possibilities and the spark of magic.

Belinda has been rescued by a turtle, learn to swim with dolphins, played with a momma whale and her baby and even swam with sharks. 

Belinda has overcome major life challenges—the suicide of her son, complete financial loss, and healing a degenerated spine without surgery. But all was not lost. By using ancient Hawaiian techniques and accepting responsibility for every aspect of her life, she was able to rise from the ashes, find her friggin’ joy, and now she’s sharing this invaluable information with others in her book,

Find Your Friggin’ Joy.

“This is a no-nonsense book for those who are willing to take an active part in their healing,” explains Farrell. “Chapter 2 is entitled ‘Sissies Turn Back’ because this book is going to challenge you at the core level to face what one must face in order to be free. 

I had to do some deep soul searching which might be considered scary. A sissy would run away from something scary. This book is not for sissies. 

I invite you to take a peek at these pages. I promise, as you do the inner work, and use the tools described within the chapters, you will not only discover what holds you back in life but also find that friggin’ joy that’s been locked away for so long.”

In Find Your Friggin’ Joy, Farrell takes readers on a journey using ancient Hawaiian teachings that invite the reader to forgive themselves and others, unplug from their old non-productive stories, and step into the frequencies of their Higher Self. Connecting with these frequencies can heal your physical body, bring you back into balance, lighten your load, and fulfill your soul’s purpose.

Bio: Belinda Farrell, author of the book Find Your Friggin’ Joy, graduated with a BA in Spanish and English from the University of California at Berkeley and is trained in hypnotherapy, past life regression, NLP, Hawaiian chanting, and ancient Hawaiian healing (Huna). Belinda trained with Anthony Robbins (author of Unlimited Power) and has effectively used these skills in her own life. She has completed 18 firewalks.  

When Belinda was forty-eight, she collapsed with herniated discs and spinal nerve damage. Threatened with paralysis by her medical doctors if she didn’t have surgery, Belinda instead chose to apply the ancient Hawaiian healing practices she had been learning the previous three years, which are covered in this book. Her back completely healed, including childhood scoliosis. For fifteen years she has been sharing these healing practices with others, offering Reconnective Healing and Huna classes and taking clients to Hawaii to teach Huna and swim with wild spinner dolphins.
