In this episode of Mother the Mother, McLean reflects on the ever-evolving journey of parenthood, particularly the challenges of education and raising teenagers. Sharing her personal insights, McLean explores the balance between fostering independence in teens while providing guidance, encouraging parents to meet their children where they are while empowering them to grow into self-sufficient individuals.

The conversation touches on the importance of aligning educational choices with family values and remaining flexible when life calls for a pivot. McLean also emphasizes the role of manners and respect in parenting, highlighting how these foundational values shape children’s ability to navigate the world and build meaningful relationships. Through her candid reflections, McLean reminds listeners of the power of curiosity, adaptability, and an open-minded approach to parenting. This episode offers reassurance that the journey is unique for every family and provides a thoughtful space to consider what truly matters in raising well-rounded, resilient children.

●     “If you have more than one child, your birth and pregnancy experiences are often different. You know how to ask for help and how to surrender on a deeper level. We learn as we go, and the same goes for being a mom of teenagers.”

●     “Having clear boundaries and expectations is so healthy for our children. They want to know what the bounds are and what's out of bounds because that gives them a framework to push against—because that's what kids do.”

●    “It's really important to track where your child is in their learning journey. We want our kids to love learning and be engaged with the world.”

●     “There are not enough mentors on Earth right now to handle the number of souls that are waking up. There has never been a moment in time where more Ascended Masters are incarnated on planet Earth.”

●     “I have a very pronounced skeptic brain, and I've decided not to alienate it in my journey—just to allow it to be there.”

●    “I was scared about my health. I had something so radical happen in my body, and as a borderline hypochondriac who's always on edge for what could possibly be wrong, it really got my attention.”

Spiritual awakening is a powerful process that requires guidance, making the need for more mentors even more crucial as more people experience this transformation. Connecting with one's intuition and spirit guides can provide valuable insights and direction during this journey. Additionally, clearing ancestral and karmic patterns plays a key role in personal growth, helping individuals move past limiting beliefs. With the right support and practices, people can navigate this path to greater self-awareness and fulfillment.

Paden Hughes Guest Links:

Paden is an intuitive life coach, energy healer, best-selling author, and founder of Liberated Lightworker, a channeled system for clearing karma and dense energies. She is also the host of her own podcast called 100% Woo Podcast. She has helped dozens of high powered, burned out career women step out of hustle and embrace a life of liberation and flow. Paden has worked with over 100 CEO’s, founders, influencers and professionals looking to optimize their performance by going beyond conventional, patriarchal wisdom and tap into their intuition and psychic gifts.After working with 7-9 figure business leaders in her 20’s as a business consultant, and then growing her own business (Gymnazo) to 7 figures by the age of 30, Paden face planted in her kitchen from chronic stress. The combination of running businesses and being a “good enough” mom to two kids under 4 was too much for her body to handle. And it got her attention by collapsing. This put her on a new trajectory of spiritual awakening and she started to take two hours a day to walk in nature and heal her higher performing, people pleaser, boss bitch masking. Slowly she started to remember who she was and who she came here to be, which turned out to be less about business and far more about magic.Spirituality was the missing link. Remembering the transformative power of feminine intuition and going back into her Celtic ancestral roots to unlock the gifts she was taught as a pastor’s kid to doubt. Paden is now dedicated to helping women remember their inner wise woman and teaches how to use intuition and tools like pendulums to unlock magic in our lives and businesses.

In this episode of Mother the Mother, McLean McGown explores the struggles and triumphs of embracing a multifaceted life as a woman, mother, and entrepreneur. Do you feel torn between your diverse passions and society’s pressure to specialize? McLean shares her own journey of weaving together roles in yoga, nutrition, doula work, and hypnosis, proving that a rich and authentic life defies traditional labels.

At the core of her message is the importance of nervous system regulation and redefining freedom. McLean reminds us that true success isn’t just financial—it’s addressing the deeper challenges that keep us stuck in fear or indecision. She offers practical insights to help you step out of analysis paralysis and create a life that honors your talents and values. Through embodiment, clear communication, and seeing children as our greatest teachers, McLean inspires listeners to lead with intention and embrace their unique paths with confidence.

●     “Everything that I do, teach, share, and support is based on your autonomy—your freedom to show up how you want to show up.”

●     “If we're just a shell of ourselves, barely getting by, scraping through each day, not loving our lives, not feeling happy, content, or safe in our marriages and relationships, not being the mom we always dreamed of being, if we're yelling, feeling like a raw nerve, ready to blow up if one more thing happens—if we aren't nurturing ourselves, it spills out into everything.”

●    “Our children are our greatest teachers, not just for the unique lessons they bring to us, which they do. It's also the opportunity to explore parts of ourselves that we haven't yet, that we didn't make space for, and possibly didn't even know were there.”

Providing holistic and personalized support is essential for women as they go through the many transitions of life, from motherhood to perimenopause and beyond. When care is comprehensive and compassionate, it empowers women to face these changes with strength and confidence. With the right support, women can fully embrace their potential and make meaningful contributions to their families, communities, and the world. Supporting women in this way benefits everyone and creates a stronger, more understanding society.

In this powerful episode of Mother the Mother, McLean McGown takes a heartfelt look at what it means to truly be free in today’s challenging world. Reflecting on personal and collective experiences of trauma and constraint, she raises a profound question: What does freedom mean to you? Is it living authentically, free from societal expectations, or having the courage to follow your own path despite criticism?

Sharing her own journey of transformation, McLean explores the importance of reclaiming sovereignty and speaking your truth, even when it feels difficult. She encourages listeners to invest in their personal growth and healing, offering hope and guidance for becoming a source of light and strength for others during times of change. As the structures around us shift in the Aquarian Age, McLean’s message inspires us to embrace life’s uncertainties and create a reality that aligns with our deepest values.

●     “If I'm not sharing my lived experience, if I'm not sharing my truth with you all, then you don't know how I can be of service to you.”

●     “When I speak my truth, that's when I connect. That's when I connect on a soul level with the people I'm meant to be with.”

●    “You've got to bet on yourself. You need to invest in yourself and truly believe, because you are your best instrument.”

Personal freedom and sovereignty are essential, especially in a world shaped by collective trauma and societal pressures.

Self-belief, combined with the support of a strong community, enables individuals to inspire and guide others facing similar challenges. By living with courage and purpose, we can foster greater freedom and fulfillment for ourselves and those around us.

●     “We just have to honor who we are as women before we have children. Why should that part of us be erased?”

●     “There’s an epidemic of postpartum depression, which I believe is deeply connected to the lack of cultural shared knowledge about the experience in all its messiness and beauty.”

●    “Walking in the woods, nibbling on pine needles, and listening to the earth brought me back to vitality when I had lost it.”

In this comeback episode of the Mother the Mother podcast, host McLean McGown reflects on her life-changing experience. She talks about how the difficulties of the pandemic caused her to reevaluate and come back with a fresh purpose, as well as how she has changed as a mother, woman, and mentor.

What does it mean to live your truth in a society that silences you? From hormonal changes to cultural expectations, McLean examines the emotional burden women bear and how these pressures show themselves in relationships, family dynamics, and self-identity. Are you sick and tired of being swamped, humiliated, or silenced by outdated norms? McLean encourages you to reclaim your voices, face your anxieties, and accept the complexity of your paths. This episode provides insights to help you move through life's ever-changing seasons with conviction and grace through open conversations on perimenopause, parenting, and the strength of unity.

●     “We all deserve, by simply being born, to live in freedom, use our voice, and follow our own moral code.”

●     “Motherhood should unite us, not divide us. I’m here for unity, not clickbait or conflict.”

●    “Our time is our most precious commodity. How we spend it shapes our lives and the legacy we leave.”

• "We have to take the good with the bad and then know how to monitor and tend to our nervous systems because that's really what it's all about, right? That's how we keep showing up, so we keep on going."

In today’s episode, McLean is joined by Kenzie Burke as they dive into Kenzie's journey of awakening and rebirth. Based in Malibu, California, Kenzie Burke is the founder of BRÛLÉ; a clothing line whose namesake stems from its definitional association with fire. For founder and designer Kenzie Burke, fire is the impetus from which artistry springs forth. After gaining acclaim in the health and wellness space, Kenzie burnt it down to launch her lifelong passion: a clothing line focused on bringing lasting taste into fashion. BRÛLÉ is where life emerges from ashes. 

Kenzie previously managed a wellness social media account and created a podcast with more than 600,000 downloads. She also produced three health and wellness books and a superfood line of biodynamic coffee and cacao. However, in 2021, she disengaged from wellness and focused solely on fashion. 

McLean was inspired by Kenzie’s pivot and wanted to have her on the show to be an authentic example of how to support yourself through massive change. Kenzie shares how and why she had to drop everything and what it felt like to deeply surrender in order to get back up and rebuild herself again.

In this episode of Mother the Mother:

• Kenzie's rebirth and rebuilding herself in a new way
• What attributed to her social media success
• Awakening journey and the evolution from her old business
• Having a sense of clarity and longevity with what career path to venture in
• Enzyme cleanse, energy change, and coming back better and stronger
