Her Return with Lindsey Curtis

After a great pause, the podcast is back! Today's episode is a reintroduction and an opening up on Physiological Initiations- what they are as a key to being the fecund woman you are here to be.    Join Lindsey for a mistress class on Transforming a Nightmare into a Dream Come True here. 

Today's episode is a gem with Michaeleen Doucleff, PhD and New York Times bestselling author. Michaeleen's incredible parenting book Hunt, Gather, Parent was written after traveling to three continents with her then 3-year-old daughter, Rosy. Maya, Inuit, and Hadzabe families showed her how to tame tantrums, motivate kids to be helpful, and build children’s confidence and self-sufficiency.  One of my favorite parenting books, I am thrilled to share this convo with you. We sit down to talk about key points, Michaeleen tells examples beyond the book, and how she sees the efficacy of applying the work - with her emotionally intelligent now 7 year old daughter as living evidence. We touch upon: Togetherness Encouraging helpfulness Cultivating belonging, competence, & autonomy Building connectedness & decreasing conflict Benevolence of child motivations Let us know what you are taking away to play with in the comments.   Stay connected with Michaeleen by email - [email protected] * Sign up for Lindsey's email list here for updates and offerings.

Have you ever held a newborn baby and witnessed their embodied knowing that they will be taken care of, just as he/she always has been? That level of unshakable Trust & Faith that all is perfect as it is? Not all babies exhibit it, due to life experiences post or prenatally, ancestral inheritances, and the mystical makeup of the individual, but if you've ever been able to witness it - you were touched.   This episode is devoted to opening up the cultivation of Trust that is available to us all. Trusting in the Beauty & Goodness of Life can sometimes feel like work, but really what more fulfilling work could there be?   Listen to the end for Lindsey's favorite Water Ritual to support your Trust cultivation today.   Mentioned is : Ep#45 Mother Wound      Sign up for newsletter updates at www.HerReturn.com
