This week, I share with you the journey with getting married, living together with my husband and his 3 kids, realizing I am an addict of co-dependency, and the journey we took to staying married but living separately. Is this situation good or bad? Well, let me share my story and you can decide. 

Hi friends! This guided breath work and meditation is for those of us that struggle with body image. Please try it out and let me know what you think! Thank you for BEing here, precious one. 

In today's episode, I continue to speak to the practice of embracing our ugliest parts as the way to love ourselves, which in turn leads to better health and peace. I speak specifically of a three step process on how to embrace our ugliest parts, and I'd love to know what you think!

In this week's episode, Jade explores her own self love journey and how liking ourselves isn't a requirement for fully loving ourself! 

I think the #1 best parenting strategy is to do our very best, which is gonna be different for every single one of us because the parent-child dynamic is exquisitely unique to each of us. Simultaneously, I believe we must practice being at peace that we are gonna get a lot wrong, which is our shadow work to do. 

In other words, freedom from thinking our parenting is perfect. It’s not. There is no perfect way to be human. There is no perfect way to parent. I desire to be free from perfection. I am a recovering perfectionist.

I know how I parent today is my very best. And, I welcome my son’s honest feedback, free from me being defensive. Yes I’m doing my best, and I have no illusion that I don’t get a lot wrong (i get a lot wrong) as I will never know what it is like to be him on his Earth Journey. 

I check in with my son regularly on how he’s feeling and what could I do better, how can I better support him. He’s a teen, he doesn’t have much feedback, yet. But the day he does, I’m here for it. I’m good with him telling me how I got it wrong. In fact, I welcome it. 

And the fact that my teen likes dancing with me, and gives me permission to share videos and photos of him, for today, we are good. And today is all I have. 

Also, have you listened to my podcast yet? This weeks episode is my parenting style. Emphasis MY way, not THE way.

This episode gets a little vulnerable with a story about trauma, but the point of Jade's sharing is to tell the story of how she took trauma that kept her identifying with being a victim which manifests in her body as illness, and how she alchemized it into something beautiful and transformational. Her healing process spans a few decades.  If this topic is too heavy for you, maybe you might want to skip this one. 

In this episode, Jade guides you through a breath work practice that she uses to help with her anxiety which mostly manifests feeling like she is having a heart attack. With this breath work and somatic release practices, Jade was able to stop using anxiety medication. Jade is not a doctor and is only sharing her personal lives experience. 

In this week's episode, Jade explores the beauty of growing older as a woman and wonders about changing the name of this podcast to The Grateful Hag because growing older and being proud of looking older is something very near and dear to Jade's heart. Long ago, being a Hag was something special, something to be proud of! Why do women lie about one's age? Why do we only have words that seem like insults for older women, like "Hag?" Jade wants to reclaim the word hag, what do you think?

In today's episode, Jade guides you through a gentle breath work and meditation for feeling safe and in gratitude for our bodies which can lead to our very best health! Jade says it's 5 minutes long but it's more like 8 minutes long. 

In today's episode, Jade asks the question is being too sensitive a super power or a disability? She shares some tender stories to highlight the nuance of this  question and invites you to get curious about your own journey! Please like and subscribe to this podcast, it would mean the world to Jade! Thank you thank you thank you!
