Soul Path Parenting

This is the final episode of the Soul Path Parenting podcast and it's a special one! The catalyst for the podcast was a simple yet powerful question that Amy's daughter Ayla asked when she was 3. "Mommy, what's going to happen to me when I die?" Now, as we complete our podcast journey, we are joined by Larry Cooper, Ayla's grandpa and Amy's father-in-law, to gain perspective from what he learned from multiple near death experiences. Also joining the conversation are Ayla, no...

In our penultimate episode, Lauren and Amy talk about the various ways people handle endings and transitions, the transformations that have taken place throughout their podcasting & parenting journeys, and what's next after co-creating Soul Path Parenting.

This is a topic that we've been planning to talk about for quite some time and (ironically!) it finally became very alive for us. In our chat about Lauren's "love affair with death" (her words!) we talk about the role of death in transformation -- what it means to allow our old stories and beliefs to die. We also talk about our relationship with our own eventual physical death and what that means for how we live. Join us for a lively conversation about death!

We're back! After a Covid-induced hiatus, we're back and talking about aliveness. What happens when we follow our sense of what's most alive in the moment and create from that space? What does this mean for our work, our passion projects, our family life? How does this idea of "aliveness" interact with our relationship with time? And, how might we learn from and with our children about this?

This episode has been a long time coming! Two years ago in Episode 16, we had our first conversation on education with Dr. William Spady, the father of outcome based education. He said that only a quarter of learners learn best in the traditional academic way, which is truly astonishing how few of us are thriving in the school setting. This sparked the question, what about the rest of learners? How do people learn and how can we better support them in schools? We’ve done a whole series o...

For beginners, the act of meditating can feel intimidating and complicated. You might feel like you can’t quite get it right or are doing it “wrong”, but this week’s guest helps us rethink the notion that there’s a right and a wrong way to meditate. Helping us demystify meditation is Gloria Gonzalez, Certified Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher, and Lauren’s good friend! Join us as we explore the art of mediation and we hope you find some inspiration for how to start or expand your practice.&...

Grief, death, and loss can be such painful subjects to discuss, understand, and live with. We may struggle under the weight and pain to process our grief, as well as that of those around us, but life cannot exist without death. This week we are honored to once again be in the presence of Sherri Doucette, yogi, lifespan doula, and founder of Litehouse Wellness, as she shares her professional and personal wisdom surrounding grief. When we last spoke to Sherri in Episode 69, we intende...

Inspired by Eckhart Tolle’s book, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose, Amy and Lauren explore the idea of authentic connection. We discuss how the roles we inhabit and the stories we construct around who we are “supposed” to be can hold us back from deeper connection. Joined by Lauren’s husband and life partner, Brett, we delve into what it means to be truly authentic, in our relationships and within ourselves.In this episode we talk about:Lauren and Brett’s love story, their strugg...

It’s Thanksgiving week and what better way to celebrate than by talking about giving and gratitude! This week our conversation found itself centering around the Rumi quote, “Never give from the depths of your well, but from your overflow,” as we explore how our gratitude, unconditional love, and healing can all come from a place of overflow. Joined by the inspiring Sherri Doucette, founder of Litehouse Wellness, we delve into the possibilities life holds when we let our needs be met, as ...

It’s our anniversary! It’s been two whole years since Soul Path Parenting launched and one year since Lauren joined us as our brilliant, insightful, and overall spectacular co-host! In this episode, we're going to talk about our partnership and transformation, because, as the last year has highlighted, it's through relationships and partnerships that we all learn and grow. We'll talk about how our partnership got started, some bumps in the road, and how we challenged each other. We’ll t...
