The Radical Mother Village with Christa Bevan

If you’ve ever daydreamed about being home with your kids homeschooling them, but have worried "can I really do it?"  then today's guest, Pilar Bewley is here to give you the gentle encouragement that you absolutely can.  

Pilar  lives her life as a Montessori-trained homeschooling mom and an online homeschool coach.  She grew up between Mexico and the United States, and has spent the past decade dismantling the conflicting and limiting messages of mothering and womanhood she received from both cultures.  Pilar helps parents to embrace homeschooling as a spiritual practice, and follows the Montessori principles to guide parents and children towards their full potential in education and life. 

In this episode you'll learn:

• How Pilar came to accidentally be a stay-at-home homeschooling mom
• The way the “preparedness of the adult” is crucial for the success of Montessori schooling
• How homeschooling can be a huge catalyst for a parent’s inner development and growth
• Common objections to homeschooling and how to overcome them

A radical mother is a woman poised in her power ready to disrupt cycles of generational trauma running through her family like wildfire. She's working to improve her life, the lives of her children, and shape the landscape of her community. If that's you - you're in the right place. 


This podcast is designed to connect you with resources, inspiration, and the reminder that you are not alone as you embark on your journey of radical mothering.


I’m your host Christa Bevan and I’m a nervous system educator for cycle breaker moms as well as a certified TRE (trauma releasing exercises) provider, and a trauma-informed yoga instructor. And of course, a fellow Radical Mother. My approach to this work blends neuroscience backed tools and heart-centered intuition.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would take to get better behavior from your kids without excessive requests, threats, or discipline that didn’t feel in line with your parenting values you may just be overlooking this part of the equation.  In today’s show I’m chatting with Ann Kaplan, a parenting coach who is going to answer that question. 

Ann is a mother of four children and a parent coach based in Denver, Colorado.

She has lived the dream (and difficulty) of parenting through every childhood stage, from infancy through adolescence. She understands not only the joys but the difficulties and worries that come as a parent.

Ann has a unique holistic approach to parent work that includes emotional support, home management skills, AND effective discipline that empowers children while improving behavior.

She coaches women through various stages of motherhood -- from conception to the transition into their new motherhood role, to behavioral challenges, to starting a business with kids in tow.

Ann is someone who will give it to you straight and love you fiercely.

In this episode you'll learn:

• The biggest obstacle Ann sees that keeps parents back from doing what they know they need to do with their children
• The ‘magical hocus pocus’ that working with your nervous system can do for better family harmony
• The accidental hypocrisy many parents engage in when it comes to their own emotions + feelings    
• What emotional attunement with our kids is and what it isn’t
• How enforcing boundaries with our kids is an act of service for them

• Emotionally healthy vs happy kids
• Saying yes to your child’s feelings while also saying no to the behavior that might come with it

I'm back!  After taking an unintentional pause from the podcast, I'm back sharing my insights into what's shifted for me over the last 18 months, why the word matriarch keeps coming up for me, and how to craft a legacy for your kids that you're proud to leave them.

I'm also talking about the second piece of the Radical Mother equation, what that means for me, for you, and where we'll be moving forward together in upcoming episodes.

In this episode, I'm chatting with Deb Blum, the founder and guide for The Whole Soul Way. Having been an empowerment and transformational coach for women for over a decade, she's pulled together everything she's learned on her own path and from her clients into a guided self-paced online course and program. 

In this program she teaches a step-by-step process to unhook from fear, conditioning, and other barriers to love so that you can truly enjoy the life you're in and experience emotionally deep and mutually fulfilling relationships.  Find more about The Whole Soul Way Program HERE.

Deb loves to dive deep into subjects such as shadow work,  inner child healing, self-love, nervous system regulation, authenticity,  spirituality, and conscious living. 

In this episode you'll learn:

• The way our inner child shows up as ‘trailheads’ walking us home to ourselves
• Why Deb thinks our self-acceptance project needs to be greater than our self-improvement project
• Why self-love might not be the best goal to have, and what we should aim for instead
• How judgements can be useful and what they reveal about us
• The importance of finding the middle path towards wholeness
