In this episode she shares how you too can approach being a 'Mom' as a spiritual path and weaves in the famous poem by Kahlil Gibran, "On Children" to help inspire you, as it did her. Caren also shares a true story of how the ripples of this transformation were on full display in a very touching interaction between her 3 1/2 yr old grandson and 7 year old granddaughter. Proof that this path works!

When we think we're not doing a good enough job as moms, many of us try to control things and outcomes to help convince ourselves WE ARE doing a good job. But this only backfires because, as Caren shares in this episode, the hard-learned truth is that we have no control over the people and events in our lives. None. The only thing we can actually control is our attitude. Join us as Caren shares her 'favorite Christmas story of all time' and how you can learn how to show up for the life that is happening in between all the plans--with an attitude that helps you trust the magic life brings.

Join us as Caren encourages moms to question all the "shoulds" and expectations that have you thinking you have to do it all. The pressure and stress it adds to your holidays can lead to the place of white knuckling it just to get through, or hearing yourself say, "I can't wait till the holidays are over!" 

Which totally sucks!

Caren helps you find a way to deal with those voices in your head by first asking, "Who says so?" and then gives you a meditation technique along with some stories to help you find the strength to choose what is in alignment with your values--with what works for you and your family.

In this episode, Caren shares the teaching story of Buddha. The story highlights the importance of awakening and realizing that the world we live in is temporary. Buddha's teachings focus on understanding the cause of suffering and finding a way out of it. Through meditation, we can release fear, stress, and anxiety, and experience deep calm, joy, and compassion. The story emphasizes the concept of Earth school, where we learn to respond to challenges with equanimity and cultivate the quality of our soul. Ultimately, the goal is to be content and happy in the present moment.
