Mystical Sisterhood

Jean Nunnally joins us today to talk about her path to unschooling her two children. Although not originally in her life’s plan to unschool, Jean decided to look into unschooling as a young mother and never went back. You’ll learn Jean’s story from a traditional schooling background to adapting to her own children’s learning needs. She’s written “Success Without School: Unschooling My Children From Birth to College”, a book that speaks to all whether you unschool or not.

EPISODE TAKEAWAYS (what you’ll learn):

• From a traditional upbringing to the unschooling path
• Jean’s history as a people pleaser and what it’s taken to break the pattern
• How intuition and signs from the Universe led Jean to unschooling
• Seeing our institutions in a new and different light

About The Guest:

Jean Nunnally is a veteran unschooling mother of two children from their birth until college. Traditionally educated in public school in Blount County, she completed a degree in finance at the University of Tennessee before starting a 14-year career with Shell Oil in Houston, Texas. She left the business world after becoming a mom and was subsequently accredited as a La Leche League leader and eventually became a board-certified lactation consultant. Her unusual story detailing her unschooling journey--what she learned from the experience and the broader implications of this philosophy of choice and self-determination--shows that self-directed learning is not only a possible alternative to conventional school, but highly successful and a critical concept for the future of education to boot.

In this informative and heartfelt episode, you’ll hear from Heather Hester, proud mom of 4 children and advocate and ally for the LGBTQIA+ community. Heather’s son came out as gay 6 years ago and at that time she searched for resources, only to find very few. Little by little, he started out compiling her own, blogged about her experiences, and started a podcast called Just Breathe: Parenting Your LGBTQ Teen. We talk about the ups and downs of parenting through both the adults’ process and the child’s process, knowing each young person is unique. Themes of self care and conscious parenting are interwoven. Please share with a friend who may need to hear these messages or a family in need of resources.

EPISODE TAKEAWAYS (what you’ll learn):

• Heather’s original desire to design resources that didn’t exist
• The importance of finding reliable and updated sources of information
• The best things parents can do for themselves in their journey
• The 4 Pillars of Heather’s work: Embrace, Educate, Empower & Love
• Heather shares her favorite resources

Um, everything!

About the Guest:

I’m Heather Hanson, and The Creative Sage Cottage is my magical Queendom. The Cottage is one part store and one part Magical Mentoring space. A few of my favorite and most consistent hats to wear are that of an intuitive, Magical Mentor, mixed media artist, spiritual interpreter, Magi-crafting facilitator, creativity junkie, writer, teacher, student, wife and mother to Sammy our “Pitador” Rescue pooch. For the last 25 years or so I have extensively studied and taken more classes than I can count in Theology, Religion, Alternative Healing, Jewish Mysticism, Kabbalah, herbalism, psychology, crystal therapy, Tarot as it relates to healing and the Hebrew Alef-bes, Astrology and energy healing. I am an intuitive since long before I took my first breath. I am also a perpetual student and teacher of life and spirituality. Heather founded Creative Sage Cottage, and finally at age 53, I am living from a place of authenticity and truth. During all that darkness I found my way into a deeper relationships with a few old loves; Tarot, the Hebrew Alef-Bes, Jewish mysticism and several other tools that I had always relied on to help me feel closer to God. As I was allowing myself to heal and slowly putting myself and my marriage back together, I fell very intentionally down a deep and magical rabbit hole where I wound up meeting my most authentic self…she was way down there at rock bottom. And that is how my ascent began…I ripped off every band-aid, took off every mask, fought like hell to silence every internal nay-sayer and for the first time in my life, I invited my truest self to rise up out of the ashes. I leaned in whole-heartedly and decided it was time to honor my SELF by using the burdens I had carried as a sort of spiritual healing elixir for others. This is the path of the wounded healer; and it is why my company; Creative Sage Cottage was born. I have an intimate relationship with the darkest night of the soul and it has lead me to know that my souls greatest calling is to remind you of your divine origin, to introduce you to your soul again. I now rely on my intuition in partnership with our Creator to assist you on your journey back to your most authentic self. I am a work in progress holding space for healing and the cultivation of divine memory and magic.

Leslie Bost is a Trauma-Informed Conscious Parenting Coach and Founder of Sabios Parenting. She is here today with her partner, Juan Diaz Rivera. Leslie and Juan share 4 children and live in Mexico. We talk about what it means to be in a conscious relationship - such a worthy and remarkable conversation! What this means is truly looking at what material each partner brings into the relationship from their childhood, taking responsibility for your own healing, being willing to be vulnerable with yourself about how you show up and so much more. Thank you Leslie and Juan for being here today!

EPISODE TAKEAWAYS (what you’ll learn):

• How Leslie first discovered Conscious Parenting & holds the intention of living from her heart space
• How Leslie and Juan made the choice to stay in their relationship at a critical turning point
• How to define being in a conscious relationship
• Juan describes how he took full ownership of how he shows up for himself and as a partner
• The decision for Leslie to stay home with the children & how Juan witnessed her deep connection as a mother
• The foundation of all feelings for both partners being valid within the relationship
• How we are conditioned that ‘the other’ can meet our needs
• The truth of being willing to come back to yourself and trust in the process
• How to practice the tool of presence with yourself and the other
• The importance of making a choice every single day

About the Guest:

My name is Leslie Bost, I live a Nomadic life with my husband and 4 children. You will usually find us on the ocean or between Los Cabos, Mexico & San Miguel de Allende, MX. I am a human being that deeply cares. I care about the connection with our children, our world, and mostly the connection to ourselves. I believe that if we nourish ourselves from within, with loving self-care on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level, we will become the change we want to see.

The origin of my story into healing started after much trauma, abuse, abandonment, adoption, eating disorders, deep depression, multiple miscarriages, complicated pregnancies, NICU babies, and all of the challenges that these experiences bring to a marriage and parenting. This journey brought me to healing through mindfulness, meditation, therapy, compassion, and ultimately conscious parenting with Dr. Shefali Tsabary, trauma-informed work with Dr. Gabor Mate, Spiritual Psychology with Suzi Lula, Intuition intelligence work, and most recently NLP & Timeline Therapy. This process of liberation guided me through years of study to develop a methodology by which I help others.

My goal is to guide overwhelmed women, coaches & parents to tap into their inner power, create compassionate inner-connection and navigate life so they can better understand their triggers, patterns, beliefs and connect with their loved ones. I would love to connect with you and compassionately provide a space to guide you to a better connection within and with your wise ones. Join me!

Julie Rinard, founder of Writing for All Seasons, join us today to talk about how she shifted out of her career in the nonprofit world to turn towards her passion of creative writing. Julie realized as a teen that while her writing classes taught her form, they didn’t necessarily tap into the medium as creative expression. Through that gentle nudge of a pandemic (!), Julie decided it was time to take what was calling forth from her heart and channel it into a new path. As with all of the Mystical Sisterhood guests, Julie has transformed old ways of doing and looking at her life into ways that speak to her soul and allow her to speak from her soul. Do not miss this episode if you want to feel inspired and held in the warm embrace of Julie’s presence.

EPISODE TAKEAWAYS:

• Julie as empath, sacred listener, crafter of the questions, mother, wife and curious soul
• How Julie heard language in her own unique way as a child
• How Julie hit her breaking point during Covid and following her passion became her life’s work
• How a college professor saw Julie’s gift but she wasn’t ready to yet hear it
• Julie’s “reverse engineering” of her relationship with joy
• The 3 C’s of Julie’s business (and maybe a 4th!)
• Setting the sacred container for her clients to express themselves fully
• How Julie fell in love with holding writing circles and the women in them
• Writing to heal, release, express, uplift and affirm
• Julie’s one rule for writing: there are no rules
• A peek into Julie’s writing practices and rituals

About the Guest:

Julie founded Writing For All Seasons to help heart-centered nonprofits and personal growth entrepreneurs bring their business vision and purpose to life through the written word. She offers a wide range of freelance writing services that draw on her communications, program development, facilitation and strategic planning expertise and are enlivened by her curiosity and commitment to being a lifelong learner. Julie offers her gifts so her clients can be free to spend more time building the parts of their business that light them up. She likes to joke, “I write the words so you can change the world.”

She is especially passionate about offering Writing Circles that focus on investigating the inner landscape of the Soul via creative writing in community with other like-minded women. She has been astounded and delighted by the wisdom and beauty that can emerge from within when we are given simple, safe containers for exploration and creative expression. Julie is a Suzi Lula Soul Care Certified Coach, and when she is not in her writing chair, she loves to take long walks with her dog, listen to podcasts by thought leaders and spiritual teachers, and spend quality time with her husband and two children.
