Some of you may be wondering what happened to Voices Rising, and why we haven't been posting new blog articles or podcasts over the past year. Instead of leaving everyone hanging without an explanation or an update, here is an episode to fill in some of those details.
I'd mainly just like to express my gratitude to all of you listeners who came along for our journey into writing and publishing and would like to encourage you to keep following your dreams, keep doing all the things that bring you joy and fill you up, whether it's writing books or whatever it may be. The world needs YOUR voice. Thank you for all your encouragement and support.
With all my heart,
Sarah
What is open-hearted living?
Together join us as we go deep into what it means to live a life from the heart. From presences to self-doubt, to unrealistic expectations, to compassion, to forgiveness.
Today we get vulnerable and say the hard things, sharing our childhood wounding and how we are working towards healing our past to show up in the now.
Sharing and saying the raw truth is what brings us closer to living an open-hearted life.
Inro and outro music a Sarah Caton original.

Being a conscious parent is more than a thought; it is a way of showing up for each and every child as the moment presents itself. The false perception of parenting tells us our children need to be a certain way; they need to look, act, think, behave, and test like everyone else, and if they don’t, we have failed in the parenting realm. These lies we have been fooled into believing are only putting more separation between parents and children.
We can stop the destruction now. With the help of unconditional love, compassion, and forgiveness, we can carve a new path for how we will parent from this moment moving forward. Showing up and being a conscious parent is being open to what children are teaching us. Be open to how we can grow from them and with them, and work together to understand how each individual works.
Today is a beautiful day to be alive. There is no better moment than this one; there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, except this moment here and now. Inhale a deep breath, pause in between the thoughts and thank yourself for showing up, followed by a sigh of relief on the exhale. There is a hero within us all, and dreams do come true when you hold them in your heart with belief, no matter what. I am inspired with love to share with you no matter your circumstances or life experiences. With help, we can change seemingly unchangeable events in our lives. How, you ask? With the power of thought and intention, linked with the power of loving and believing in yourself again. Or for the very first time ever.
Speaking used to be my worst enemy. I held fear of failure and purpose may as well have been on another planet beyond our solar system. Yet, my journey and these words are more significant than fear. Allowing myself to be creative is a life with the possibility of purpose. No matter the fear, I still take the step; I still write the words even when it’s scary. I write when my heart feels like exploding out of my chest when words become constricting. Fear has never gotten me anywhere but down, yet purpose keeps me afloat.

We all have ups and downs, the biggest thing we can do for ourselves is to show us as we are. When we can take life one step at a time is when we have accomplished more than we know.
In this brand new episode Shelly shares from her book Awaken You From Pain to Healing a Woman's Way of Waking Up to Her life and reflects. From the practice of waking up to conscious parenting and waking up to our thoughts.
No matter where you are in your life and where you want to go anything is possible. When we tune into what we are thinking and focusing on we can realize where our actions have been taking us.
Life is constantly here giving us lessons and leading the way for us, only when we are open to it. Join in and delve heart to heart and perhaps you can tune into what it really is you are needing and wanting in your life.
With great gratitude we are here with you, you are not alone.
