Lauren was my guest this time last year on the Abundant Parent Membership. Mom and creator of the I Am Journal, Lauren shared with us how to find time in your busy parenting day for that ultimate self-care habit of manifesting your desires. Catch her workshop here: http://theabundantparent.com/make-time-to-manifest/
Whether you are manifesting a family culture of contentment, or physical experiences and objects, dedicated time to the practice of manifesting is a must. Lauren created an incredible tool to help us stay accountable to ourselves when she created the I Am Journal. And the proof is in the outcomes.
These monthly companion episodes I record have been so much fun for me. I’ve been able to reflect not only on the role of these workshop topics in my life since I first discovered them, but also reflect upon the progress I’ve made over the last year since first recording the workshop podcasts. This month’s topic of manifesting and the Law of Attraction couldn’t be more proof of this progress.

I was first introduced to the Law of Attraction when the book, “The Secret” had become an international sensation. I loved it. It resonated so strongly. I took a lot of notes… ALL the notes. And then the book went on the shelf, the notes were closed up in a journal that eventually was filed and boxed away. And I forgot all about the power I had to create my reality. Surely this was due to the social and family conditioning engraved in my brain from childhood and reiterated in my life at that specific time, but I never created a practice of the lessons in the Secret, and so I forgot it. Pretty much entirely.
Fast forward through having children, and the dissolve of my marriage into what was the darkest time of my life. Leaning hard into my victim mentality, I felt a loss of the control I perceived myself to have and clung tighter and tighter. And just like the Universe does, it kept showing me it was time to let go and trust in this big beautiful undeniable power of love that is all around and with in us. The lessons felt more devastating each time until I become too tired and hopeless to consider any other option than to let go and trust. I was literally and consciously forced into my awakening (with the help of the messages of Abraham Hicks) . It was the worst. And I am so grateful for it.
I learned through those times, lessons that have made my life abundant and satisfying. They are:
1) The only control we have in this lifetime is over our own thoughts, responses, expectations and vibrations. And we definitely can’t control anyone else’s actions, responses, or how they view us

I wasn’t always mindful. As a teenager and young adult I would make fun of people with obvious deficiencies and I would make fun of myself, both out of my history of shame and worthlessness. There was a weird dichotomy between the me that lowered myself and others to compensate for my low self-esteem, and the me that took such pride in helping others in need. At different times one might have witnessed me and interpreted two different people. Looking back I attribute this to a searching for myself, searching for my place in the world, the acceptance of myself through the eyes of others, and a deep disconnect from my inner being, my soul.
It was in that idea of community and family that I learned to fit in.
I remember feeling such intense anguish as a teen. Not in a desperate or depressed way, but in that I felt emotions so deeply. So when I felt low, I would pour myself into writing, singing and at and weep at the expression of it all. I know now that I was an empath taught to live through filters of admissible social conduct. But it was in that idea of community and family that I learned to fit in. And when I learned to fit, I learned to shut off my intuition and inner being. I learned to shut off the very source of self that was given to me to protect me and guide me to live my life’s purpose.
This is when I realized the truest sense of suffering. This living of life with love as means of manipulation and desperate belongingness but not as the greatest guiding force in the Universe. When we being to experience the loss of those closest to us, and we try to replace those connections with other people, we begin to understand the commodity of human emotions. For me, losing my mom at 21 meant understanding there would never be a replacement for the unique love and bond that one shares with a loving parent. Having children helped me understand unconditional love void of ego, And going through a divorce meant understanding how quickly the perception of love can die.
When I began to awaken and embody the full force of mindfulness and consciousness it was when I was willing to take responsibility for the role I played in my understanding of ev...Sat, 07 Sep 2019 - 5min - 20 - Heal Your Inner Voice

Courtney was my guest on the Abundant Parent membership. Catch her full workshop here: http://theabundantparent.com/making-an-essential-oil-toolbox/
Something I love doing is introducing parents to non-traditional tools to show them how they can support their family in addition to other measures they may be using or in some cases, prescribed. Traditional and nontraditional tools can work beautifully together. Essential oils are no different, and with as popular as they have become, I knew it was time to cut through the oily residue of essential oil controversy and show how these pleasant and easy to use tools could bring extra body and mind support to parents.

Time and time again I find the greatest gifts and direct paths to my purpose reveal themselves through my struggles and being well… inconvenienced. Exposure from a young age to the body’s ability to defend itself from disease, and learning to manage my own auto-immune disorder to conceive and continued opportunities to learn through resistance…. all laid out the welcome mat to become a full fledged crunchy earth momma.
Auto-Immune Necessity
What started as a journey to reduce sugar and carbs to unravel my PCOS turned into a change with my relationship with my own consumerism. Shifting my perspective of food to satisfy specific cravings and taste and instead purchasing foods that supported my body health not only eliminated cravings but healed my relationship with food. And the same with non-edible purchases. Understanding that purchasing things that were familiar and convenient didn’t always end up being what was best for me.
This all meant I was choosing honey and maple syrup instead of refined sugar, and choosing unsalted products and ingredients and adding my own sea and Himalayan salt in small quantity. This also meant I was ditching the laundry detergent that smelled like my childhood and loving the simplicity of life with simpler ingredients.
Then I Became a Mom.
When I became a mom, I wanted to give my kids the best most pure start possible. Essential oils became a bigger part of that than I had originally anticipated. I was using camomile and lavender to calm them in their baths, clove oil to soothe their broken and teething gums, eucalyptus oil for my own toxic free Vicks. As my kids grew their needs and interests changed and soon they wanted to help me craft holiday gifts with lotion bars, gourmet salts and home made perfume.
But, the essential oils that become the smell my kids would begin to recognize as home were lemon and thyme.Mon, 12 Aug 2019 - 5min - 18 - Making an Essential Oil Toolbox

Self-love and self-care was not always a priority in my life.
Many of you who follow my posts have heard me talk about my childhood and learning from a young age to put my own needs second to those of my single-mom who fought cancer much of my childhood. But in this simple act of empathy and compassion for the enormity of her struggles, it set the president for my becoming a wife and mother who put myself last.
That all changed when I went through my divorce. I knew, that in order to maintain this pace of being a single mom while simultaneously modeling for my daughters a mother with self-respect, self-care would have to play a MUCH bigger part of my daily grind.
The biggest obstacle to overcome in my choice to improve my efforts of self-care was my own lack of self-love. This was partially an energetic inheritance from my mom who also struggled with self acceptance and love, but there is so much more to this as a girl growing up in our times, isn’t it?
There was the confusing sexualizing of my gender from very young ages. I should preface what I am about to say by sharing that I had not met my biological father until I was 18 and hadn’t had consistent male role models in my childhood. When I was not yet 12, I hadn’t even started my period yes, I was being pursued and oggled by men easily 2 or 3 times my age. I know this is common for many women I spoken to about this. With no understanding of a healthy male role model, it left me with the conclusion that women’s value was based on their sexual appeal and of course with that, their looks. Perhaps what I craved was the approval of that male role model in my life, but without that, I came to seek the approval of other men.
Now, I was also very shy, so I was not pursuing sex at this age, but as I filled in with my womanly curves and understandings of men over the course of the next 10 years, I would continue to measure my worth by the attention I could receive.
The other message I was always receiving from my mom was how smart I was, and how my mind was my greatest asset, but when I would catch wind of the gossip my male peers would chatter I received messages like “She has big tits but she’s dumber than a box or rocks.” and such. Dumb seems harsh, but I was very trusting and left myself very vulnerable. And so I would not only see my value in what I could visually and physically do for men,Fri, 28 Jun 2019 - 7min - 16 - Parent Like It’s Your Job

Tatiana was my second guest as a launched my Abundant Parent workshops. (Catch my other blog post with her workshop and links!) Knowing how much every child I’ve ever met LOVES stones, I knew I wanted to host a workshop discussing the meaning and healing behind all these stones. I had met Tatiana by chance a year earlier and we connected immediately with our similar trips to Napal and Tibet and the ignition of a spiritual path. But she also funded her trip to Nepal by tying mala!
Mala is a beautiful craft meditative in both creating the stones beads into necklaces (or mala) but then also in their use to bring meditative rhythm to our thoughts and practices. Tatiana used her incredible knowledge to help make a workshop that would bring stones, chakras and meditation all together in a basic understanding in how Mala can benefit families… all that, and she also showed us how to tie mala!!!

When All Else Fails, We Turn to Faith and Trust
So why was I so passionate about stones? It began in childhood. Like all children, I was drawn to them. But when my mom was diagnosed with cancer when I was 7, I saw a shift in her. She began to have faith in things she hadn’t prior. While she was not anticipated to live, she also wasn’t giving up, and when friends would suggest strange mushroom and herb teas, acupuncture and crystals, she said “why not!” It was definitely a point in her journey where she figured it couldn’t hurt, and in the practice of applying these tools to her life along side saying affirmations, she also began to trust that they might actually be helping too.
After having her initial mastectomy, and while undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, my mom would take on the new habits her western doctors recommended through diet and pharmaceutical treatment, but also some energetic habits. She would lay on our sofa with a big beautiful clear crystal quarts in her hands and hold it against her chest while saying “I do not have cancer, nor will I ever have it again.” Chanting, crying, breathing, whispering, begging… and in time, believing.
