On this episode of we reflect back on all of the amazing things we have explored during 2022. We revisit the importance of resilience. We take a moment to acknowledge the importance of trauma informed care and the launching of our workshop. Then we break down four of our cherished elements of the star parent, Spirituality, Tools, Awareness and Repair. Join us for our last episode of the year. And then taking a sacred pause where we model the importance of taking a break from work, slowing down, allowing rest and reprieve in order to replenish our resources and come back refreshed in 2023.

In this week’s episode we get up and personal with Anne Celeste and her coparent Mike Kitt. The episodes explores what it’s like discovering parenting on a non-traditional path as two platonic friends that want to have a child. We discuss navigating polyamory and ethical non-monagomy as new parents to be. We chat about what it’s been like opening up to extended family about these dynamics. And we wrap up talking about some of the ways in which coparents can generate conversations and discover what life choices they have in common for their child to be.

Listen to Anne describe how a healing circle can be used to heal families, relationships and build a better world by just allowing ourselves to share true feelings of hurt and pain with loved ones in a safe and secure space. Being heard can heal wounds. 

About Anne:

Goldjian (Anne Goldenberg) queer immigrant from France, who lives in Tiohta:ke (aka montreal) and learned restorative practices to make space and transform their guilt into responsibilities, and heal their own and relative conflicts. They were introduced to restorative work through Ron Meetoos, a Cree two spirited artist working on decolonial restoration, and learned this particular practice of restorative circles and systems with their friend Di Ponti, who lives in Christiania, Copenhagen. Goldjian deepen this work because of a high concern they have for how we treat, punish, exile, shame each other in queer, artistic and activist communities. They facilitate restorative circles, help groups create their own restorative systems and offer workshops because of the powerful sense of healing this practice is allowing. This work also makes space for grieving and support systems. Their intention is to contribute to a restorative culture (vs withholding a specialty) that can support more of us to move forward to safer places of collective healing and transformation. The website about this work  is here.

This episode is a little gem. Practicing self regulation as a family is a skill that provides benefits for lifetimes. Practical ways to foster self regulation in the home play heavily on the actual environment. In a quick podcast Lorraine shares helpful ways to create spaces within the home where everyone is free to express themselves with ease.

Inspired by Debbie Ford's book The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Lorraine talks about the benefits of facing the shadow. The hard work involved and potentially why resistance comes up while doing the work and the hard facts about the pace of this work. Facing your shadow is serious work, and it takes time. Enjoy this podcast for the second time and listen to the special offer for the first listener to reclaim. Thank you for listening.
