Dare Ah New Belief

Take 25 minutes over lunch to feed your soul!

After her mother passed away, Michelle Bos felt abandoned and was disowned by her family.  She began a Facebook group called “Good Grief” as a way to connect people who were alone and grieving. This online community offers a safe place to talk, share, cry, and find a family to embrace you while you are healing.

In the first part of their conversation on Dare Ah New Belief, Nada and Michelle discuss: 

1. How Michelle was disowned by her family after her mother passed away.
2. How our friends and family may avoid us when we are grieving.
3. Why having a safe place to discuss your journey through grief is essential.
4. How sharing our departed loved ones with others is important.

Key takeaways: 

• Our DNA does not disappear after our death.
• Even as an independent, strong person, we can experience things that set us back.
• We grieve little deaths like divorce, illness, aging, etc.
• Healing can happen when we support others.

Read Kathleen’s bio and hear the first part of her story in the Sacred Parenting – Part 1 episode! In this Part 2 episode, Nada and Kathleen discuss:

1. Horizontal and vertical energy.
2. How we, as parents, may jump to conclusions about how situations will turn out, instead of being in the moment with our child(ren).
3. How aligning our own energy frees us to recognize a child that is not being seen for who they are.
4. Being careful not to beat ourselves up for how we’ve handled situations, but instead becoming more conscious of how to better see situations with our child(ren).

Key takeaways:

• Point of consciousness: Do we see our children’s misbehavior, or do we see what the child is trying to say to us?
• Demonstrating to our children that we are interested in what they are doing will hold up and benefit them years down the road.
• Every interaction we have with children, no matter how small, has an impact, even when we don’t know what the impact is.
• Children come to us already whole and intact, and they unfold in front of us.

• We have soul agreements with our children. We have chosen each other.
• Our inner senses can bring even deeper and greater joy than the outer five senses.
• Our response to our children in a stressful moment will determine how that child will see themselves in the future.

• It takes introspection to change our perception of things and/or events.
• What if we all treated one another as if we all suffered a 9/11 loss? We would treat one another differently!
• “I don’t want people to ever lose hope that we have a brilliant future!”

1. How life’s lessons and grace lie within the struggle.

• Happiness lies in between the struggles and the incredible elation we get with the “ah-ha” moments.
• Life is not happening to us, but for us.
• We can get ourselves worked up in fear about an event – and even make the event worse in our minds – because we don’t see the grace and the beauty that comes with the event.
• Our life experiences are preparing us for what is coming next.
