What if our schools actually taught kids how to think, not what to think? In this episode, we explore Montessori teaching methods, the Socratic Method, and the real-life benefits of alternative education — plus practical Montessori-at-home ideas every parent can use. 

In this Raising Wild Hearts conversation, host Ryann Watkin sits down with educator and philosopher Marsha Familaro Enright, founder of Reliance College and The Great Connections Seminar, to talk about transforming education and re-igniting curiosity in both kids and adults.

You’ll hear how the Montessori philosophy and the Socratic method work together to cultivate self-reliant, confident thinkers — from preschool to higher education. Marsha shares stories from her 25+ years leading Montessori schools, walks us through a Socratic seminar example, and explains why freedom, discussion, and play are the foundations of real learning.

Whether you’re an educator, entrepreneur, or lifelong learner, you’ll take away insights on how to raise (and become) an independent thinker who leads with curiosity, compassion, and courage.

✨ In this episode:

• Montessori teaching methods that nurture independence and creativity
• How to apply Montessori-at-home ideas in your family
• A Socratic seminar example that brings active learning to life
• Alternative education benefits for kids and adults
• Why traditional classrooms often kill curiosity — and how to revive it
• How discussion-based learning builds leadership and self-trust

Motherhood can sometimes make us forget who we are—but it can also be the catalyst that brings us home to ourselves. 

In this short but powerful Rise & Flourish series episode—recorded live at Rise & Flourish 2025 with Raising Wild Hearts guest host, Danielle Neufeld host of The Most Important Thing podcast— we explore what it means to trust your intuition, reclaim joy, and remember your wholeness after years of giving everything to everyone else.

Sarah Gyampoh, one of our beloved Rise & Flourish speakers, shares her story of rediscovering her inner voice after burnout, the six-year transformation that happens for both mothers and children, and how reconnecting with play, embodiment, and self-honoring rituals can help mothers rise and flourish—together, both in community and at home. 

Tune in to hear:

• Why motherhood can deepen your intuition (if you let it)
• The fascinating six-year cycle of transformation for both moms and kids
• Simple ways to reconnect with your true self—beyond roles and responsibilities
• How play and embodiment spark joy, healing, and creativity
• A permission slip to be fully human again

This conversation was recorded live at the Rise & Flourish event and guest hosted by my dear friend, Danielle Neufeld.

Thinking about planning a women's circle or conscious motherhood meetup? Today I'm sharing what I learned from co-hosting and planning my first live event in South Florida for moms and women. 

✨Have something you want to host, make or create? Join me for Do The Thing, my free three-part mini-series on happiness, courage, and creativity.

It was a transformative and powerful personal growth experience— from the event planning nitty gritty to the actual dream-come-to-life moment— it was a lesson in how to stay calm, what soulful self care for women actually looks and feels like (in real life) and so much more. 

Our Rise & Flourish gathering, held in South Florida, taught me lessons that went far beyond the event itself: how to surrender to support, how to let work feel easy, and how to redefine success from the inside out.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing what I learned from my first women’s event planning experience—both the soulful moments and the behind-the-scenes lessons that shaped me most.

You’ll hear about:
✨ The power of surrendering to support and letting yourself be held
✨ How to rewrite the belief that “work must be hard to be worthy”
✨ The small logistical touches that made a big energetic difference
✨ Why being yourself is the most magnetic event strategy of all

If you’ve ever dreamed of hosting your own women’s event, stepping into leadership, or simply bringing more ease and authenticity into your creative work—this episode is for you.

Today we're diving into confident communication. Kathryn Woods—a Communication Trainer and Speaking Coach with over twenty years of experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist—is here today to teach us not only public speaking tips but how to be a better communicator, how to handle a high conflict situation, and how to be confident. 

Kathryn shares her journey from painfully shy child to confident communicator, revealing how our nervous system, posture, and breath affect not only how we sound — but how we feel when we speak.

Together they explore:
🌿 Why confidence follows courage — not the other way around
🌿 The real reason posture and breath change your brain chemistry
🌿 How to build communication confidence through “baby steps” and body awareness
🌿 The four nervous-system responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) — and how to find calm when you’re stuck in one
🌿 How to reset your body before high-stakes conversations
🌿 Why listening is as vital as speaking — “People aren’t really listening to you until they feel heard.”

If you’ve ever waited to “feel ready” before speaking up, this conversation will remind you that confidence is built one breath, one posture shift, one brave sentence at a time.

🎧 Tune in for the calmest, most practical communication coaching you didn’t know you needed.

Raise your hand if you’ve scrolled social media and seen the terms “narcissist,” “gaslighting,” and “narcissistic abuse” thrown around like confetti. I know, me too.
It can feel like in our rush to name toxic dynamics, we’ve started pointing fingers everywhere other than to ourselves— what’s really going on?

This week I sat down with Darren Elliott to explore the pervasive cultural conversation surrounding narcissism. What we uncovered is less about calling people "bad" and more about understanding trauma, emotional immaturity, and the powerful dance of disconnection we all participate in. 

If you've been wondering how to stop the cycle—in your marriage, your family, or your community—this episode is a courageous starting point.
Tune in to learn: 

• How narcissism is actually a set of defenses we use to protect ourselves from disconnection. When one person starts lying or manipulating, we're more likely to "join their dance" by reacting with similar behaviors. The cycle starts when you react to their defensiveness with your own
• Narcissism is not only loud and argumentative. The calm, emotionally disconnected partner could be a narcissist too. 
• How to not f*ck up your kids (spoiler alert: by repairing conflict). What percentage of the time you need to show up calm and nailing it in parenthood. 
• A hidden form of  emotional abuse and narcissism.
