  • Ep. 8: (Season 2) Still Creating, Still Becoming

    Send us Fan Mail

    Celebrating three years of the Listening Ears podcast with a reflection on the power of the liminal space – that messy, in-between place where authentic creation happens. We explore why your voice matters most when you're in transition, and how sharing from uncertainty creates deeper connections than waiting for perfect clarity.

    • The liminal space is the uncertainty between who you've been and who you're becoming
    • Life's richest moments often happen in the messiness of the middle
    • Creating from uncertainty is messy but authentic and magnetic
    • You don't need all the answers to share wisdom – your story is worthy exactly as it is
    • Practical steps: give yourself permission to be imperfect, document your journey authentically
    • Honor your pace – productivity looks different in transition periods
    • Small, courageous steps matter more than large finished outcomes

    Share how you're creating in your in-between season to help others find our community. Thank you for three incredible years of growing and listening together.

  • Ep. 7: (Season 2) Anchored in Chaos

    Send us Fan Mail

    Staying grounded amid chaos isn't about perfection—it's about finding that crucial space between stimulus and response. When your child spills milk all over their homework while you're juggling your day job and dinner prep, how do you respond? That momentary pause, that deep breath before reacting, can transform the entire situation.

    This episode explores the art of staying regulated when life gets loud. We dive into the misconception that groundedness equals perfection, clarifying that being grounded actually means staying present, aware, and intentional during difficult moments. The pause—that brief moment between chaos and response—becomes your parenting superpower, not just helping you maintain composure but modeling emotional regulation for your children.

  • BONUS-Rediscovering Your True Self Beneath Motherhood

    Send us Fan Mail

    The quiet voice beneath the chaos of motherhood whispers, "I'm still here." But in a world that sees you primarily as mom—the snack maker, trip planner, peacekeeper, and scheduler—that voice often goes unheard. This intimate bonus episode of Listening Ears creates a safe space for women to reconnect with their authentic selves beyond the beautiful but all-encompassing identity of motherhood.

    When was the last time you did something purely for joy? Not to check off a task, not because someone needed you to, but simply because it made your heart sing? Host Vernee Bazir guides you through gentle reflection about who you were before motherhood reshaped your life. Those creative, adventurous, passionate parts of you haven't vanished—they're waiting to be rediscovered and celebrated.

    Through practical steps like role-free journaling, reconnecting with pre-motherhood passions, and movement that celebrates being alive rather than achieving fitness goals, this episode offers a roadmap back to yourself. The journey isn't about diminishing your role as a mother but enriching it with your full, authentic self. Motherhood adds beautiful layers to your identity without erasing the masterpiece underneath.

    Ask yourself today: What part of you is ready to step back into the spotlight? Your creativity? Your curiosity? Your joy for simple pleasures? Whatever it is, embrace it. You deserve to show up fully in motherhood and beyond—beautifully, powerfully, and unapologetically you. Share this episode with someone who needs this gentle reminder, and follow, subscribe, and leave a review to help more women find this affirming space.

  • Ep. 3: (Season 2) Ignite Your Passion: Building Home Within You

    Send us Fan Mail

    What if the safest place you could ever find is not where you live, but within yourself? What if your body, mind, and spirit were your sanctuary, your home? This episode of the Listening Ears Podcast invites you on a journey of introspection, mindfulness, and self-awareness, prompting you to explore the concept of 'home' beyond the four walls and a roof. Together, we'll unravel the intertwined facets of home, presence, inspiration, and self-awareness, and how they play a crucial role in our personal development and emotional equilibrium.

    The real voyage of self-discovery starts by making a promise to yourself - a vow to stay present, to nurture your passionate sparks, and to understand that you are the home you've been searching for. As your guide, I encourage you to fill your internal sanctuary with what ignites your passion, instills peace, and fosters growth. It's not about the size of your house, but the love within it, not the tranquility of your surroundings, but the peace within you. So, join us as we foster our inner homes, embarking on the transformative journey of self-awareness and personal growth. Let's make 'home' a place within us, filled with strength, inspiration, acceptance, and love. Are you ready to find your heart and, in the process, discover your 'home'?
