In this enlightening episode of the Love, Sex and Freedom podcast, we explore the integration of tantric and awakening teachings in family life, especially in the realm of mothering. Raven, joined by her daughter Sydelle, unveils her soulful parenting style that celebrates authenticity, vulnerability, and a profound spiritual connection. She emphasizes treating children as equals and imparting life skills through gentle modeling, allowing the wisdom to unfold naturally rather than through direct instruction.


Sydelle talks about her experiences growing up with these principles, her initial resistance to spirituality, and her eventual reconnection through nature and plant medicine. The conversation also covers healthy emotional expression, the importance of boundaries, and the influence of parental relationships on children’s views of love.

The episode concludes with a Q&A session on managing emotions around children, supporting partners with generational trauma, and addressing toxic maternal relationships. Join us to learn how deep spiritual teachings can be integrated into parenting practices.
