  • Snowed in Perspective

    Unexpectedly snowed in after an unexpected 20 hour adventure up the mountain and around avalanches and other madness (normally takes 3.5-6 hours ro get to snow.)

    I am reminded.. that you can’t expect all plans to sort out.. meaning the long lovely episode planned for today.

    And, there is goodness in over preparing.

    And, how deep gratitude.. wakes the soul for 2022.:).

  • Fertility over 40 and your Intentions Tensions

    What are your intentions that are causing tension?

    How does this affect fertility?

    And, are you REALLY not moving closer to your dream family? Are you sure?

    The body remembers, even when the mind doesn’t. 

    Grief memories, family memories at a time of year.. it’s SO strong..

    And, in this .. you may feel an illogical pull to slow down and your mood can change..

    and if not listening.. and responding..you can have injuries or illnesses and so much more.

    This episode hits on this and I give a small tip to move through so your fertility isn’t affected with contraction and tension.

  • 3 years of imperfect Parenting with Mats and Ariel

    We reflect on the last 3 years of Imperfect Parenting with current eyes.

    The conversation happens in the car, just like our 1st episodes back in spring  2018, well before we launched.

    It’s a rambling, thoughtful, heartfelt look at then and now and all the massive imperfection through this “ugly transition” hopefully into the beauty .. yes, yes.. of now..:)).

  • Resilience parenting on the road with Chris and Holly Santillo the remix

    Remember Chris and Holly Santillo and their 3 boys and the big transition from their home and martial arts studios.. to being on the move?

    And, their book, Resilience Parenting?

    Did you read it, yet?! Don’t worry! There’s another chance!;))

    2 years of travel.. and self discovery.. and.. putting their book’s principles to work!!

    Ready for a great episode?

    Conflict resolution, logic, and more are essential learning you don’t always do what you expect.. or feel how ypu imagined you would.

    What happens if expectations, principle and attachment aren’t met vs. being open to unknown?

    They were surprised about some of the things that came up during the trip and what incredible aha!

    So much goodness and shifting in this incredible family.

    Life is an opportunity to teach our kids.  How are we using those opportunities?  Do we fail well and teach by example of our own failures and successes? 

    Holly and Chris' book guides us through stories of families, martial arts values and their own experiences. 

    As well, they have packed up and sold their home and are on the road while world schooling their 3 boys!

    Your children will face many challenges in the years ahead, so you want to raise them to be resilient—strong, adaptable, and able to recover. It is your mission to empower your son or daughter to cultivate a functional and fulfilling life. This essential handbook will help you achieve that goal. In Resilience Parenting, martial arts instructors Chris and Holly Santillo share the insights they have gained as teachers and parents. They offer positive alternatives to lecturing, bribing, and punishing; focusing instead on three Pillars: Learning, Integrity, and Service. By applying these powerful principles, you can inspire your children to develop the independence they need to succeed as adults while renewing their connection to family and community. Whether you are raising a teenager or just starting your family, the methods prescribed in this book will help you unlock your greatest potential as a parent.
