Setting aside time to feed our souls is important, and it’s no secret that one of our core habits to get this time is our morning routine. This habit has literally been the biggest game changer in our own fulfillment and wholeness, and so we really can’t say enough good about it. This subject remains one of our most frequently asked listener questions, so in this episode, we delve deep into some tricks to really help cement this routine into a long term, non-negotiable habit. We also introduce you to a really accessible form of meditation and will give you tools to get you started on this life changing habit, or give you ideas to improve what you already have going.

The best
I don’t have much to say other than that I love this podcast and recommend it to everyone and can’t even believe I haven’t taken the time to write a review before! Every episode leaves me feeling refreshed & ready to take on another day of motherhood - rather than feeling guilty for all of the ways I’m failing like some other parenting resources can make me feel. FTM has been with me through my best seasons of motherhood, and my hardest. I always always come back for more & I hope y’all never stop! Thank you so much for all of the heart, wisdom, and encouragement you share here. I’m a better mama & a better ME because of you!

Have you ever been in the rut of the everyday? It can feel like a slog at times moving from one mundane task to the next. This shows up magnified in parenting when we are stuck on the treadmill of cleaning up spills, changing diapers, driving carpool, planning meals only to fall asleep exhausted and enter the next day that way! We easily catch ourselves living for our next date night, weekend away or perhaps even that day when “life will be easier, our kids will be older, we will have more money” etc. This episode we want to challenge that status quo. We want to share a concept with you that can awaken you to each of these moments and help you find the acceptance, joy and perhaps even enthusiasm in all of the parts of this life, small and big.

How do we raise boys in this fabulously challenging time? In this episode, we revisit our very favorite pieces of knowledge on the subject by combining our two most popular discussions about it. We address issues like how to cultivate respectful, strong, and kind boys by channeling their natural strengths (as opposed to simply suppressing all of their tendencies and making them feel like they are terrible all the time). We explore some fascinating psychology and hopefully help all of us raise boys who become men who are whole, respectful, humans who make this world a better place:).

We also review the four pillars of connection, getting outside, sleep, and nutrition, and we tackle the challenges and opportunities that boys face at school and learning. We address the research on screen time and boys’ brains, and give you all sorts of tips to make screen time a pleasant activity with boundaries instead of an unlimited source of distraction and dependency. We have such an AMAZING opportunity as parents to really create a community where they can thrive with their own natural strengths, and we can help create a world where boys are taught to have emotional intelligence and access their internal world with confidence and love. Thanks for joining us for this conversation!

We are midway through the Summer, our kids are all home and life looks a little different. At Find the Magic we think seasons are a beautiful time to reflect and find insight and renewal. In this Magic Moment Felica will talk about being off social media and what awareness this has cultivated for her and how she is using this slower Summer schedule to do some inner work and see her children as a "garden" to tend to with love. She will also offer you some opportunities for pairing down your mind chatter and reducing the "rebound" of the outside world to find a little more clarity and creativity in your ventures.

Control is a tricky thing. We sometimes want control everything when things are going wrong, and that becomes problematic when it involves other people. (Spoiler alert, we can’t control other people:). In this episode, we talk about how to balance having limits and healthy boundaries, while still allowing others, including our children, an appropriate amount of independence and autonomy.

Our bodies are our conduits for experiencing this life. It makes sense that caring for them from a place of love is a worthy investment for us. Self care is part of wholehearted living for both our body and our soul. Sometimes, when people talk about self care, they mention expensive hair products and elaborate pedicures. At Find the Magic, we are big fans of the kind of soul filling self care that is more about true fulfillment (think meditation, time with God, feeding our intellect, etc.). So, when it comes to our bodies, it makes sense that we like the idea of going beyond image based self care and going deeper into truly nourishing our body with foods and love. In this episode, Ali Essig, a plant-based holistic nutritionist and educator, gives us lots of priceless information on how vegetables and fruit are a beautiful, accessible form of self care. She gives practical tips on how to incorporate more of these life improving ingredients into our family’s eating habits in a really simple and reachable way.

Here at Find the Magic, we like to go deep. In fact, we love it. In this episode, we go way deep discussing Gary Zukav’s book, The Seat of the Soul.  We can see why Oprah loves his work so much.

We explore how the personality is different from the soul, but “when the personality comes fully to serve the energy of its soul, that is authentic empowerment.” It takes practice and awareness to differentiate between the workings of our own personality and the growth of our soul. The tools we can use for this process are choosing intentions, adding clarity, practicing forgiveness, and distinguishing true needs from false ones.

The umbrella that covers all of these topics is love. “An authentically powered person lives in love. Love is the energy of the soul. Love is what heals the personality. There is nothing that cannot be healed by love. There is nothing but love.”

― Gary Zukav

Review of the week from Cass McCaffree!
Really beneficial to my motherhood
…they have beautiful tips and insights about motherhood that I really appreciate. On top of that, I implemented a lot of tips from the magic morning on waking up early and I’ve really enjoyed doing that so far! I’d recommend this podcast to any mother who just wants to do the best they can.

Having trouble paying attention? We all are. In this episode, we discuss Johann Hari’s book, Stolen Focus, and outline the 12 things that are stealing our ability to focus in our modern lives. It ISN’T a matter of discipline for which we need to constantly beat ourselves up for. There are huge systemic forces that are targeting our attention spans. The good news is: we can get it back. We can restore our attention spans individually and as a society. This episode has lots of eye opening research and ideas to come back to life and start living it instead of rushing around in our minds and in our tech.

Are you questioning yourself or simply not listening to what your heart, soul and body are telling you? Are each of your buckets so full that one drop would overflow any area of your life? Often we bypass our intuition and listen instead to outside inputs or numb out completely. Heather Chauvin is a podcaster, author and mother who brings personal empowerment and intuitive guidance to woman across the globe. We adore her and her message--one that will inspire you to listen to your own inklings on what your body and heart need to live a simple and joy filled life. 

We talk about "balance," finding personal empowerment within motherhood, breaking generational patters and getting emotionally uncomfortable which is the first step to finding our true joy.

Review of the week from Nikkie!

Every parent should listen!
I love this podcast and I appreciate the hard work that goes into every episode. I just can’t imagine life as a parent without any guidance, and I feel like the hosts are my weekly guides. I’m blown away with how many valuable resources I find in each episode.As mentioned in the intro, they literally do all of the hard research on parenting and distill the information through the podcast. I’m a mother of a 4 and 6 year old and I wouldn’t feel as confident and grounded in my motherhood journey if it wasn’t for the resources provided by you ladies.I love this podcast so much I often find myself craving a second episode each week.Thank you,Xoxo
