Do you know that you are not to blame for your triggers and harmful reactions?

We also talk about the power of mindfulness and other modalities to help us heal these hurts for good. Takeaways: By rejecting our parents, we share or repeat their life patterns. Trauma stays within families' genetic code, changing the way genes express. To transform trauma, we must practice the feelings & sensations of positive experiences.

Get Hunter's book, Raising Good Humans now! Click here to order and get book bonuses! Since the #MeToo movement and growing feminism, we’ve been very interested in how to empower women. But what about the other half of the population? We, as parents, need to take a look at how we are raising our boys to either be complicit in the “locker room mentality,” or to take a stand against it. Takeaways: The “lockerroom mindset” hurts everybody. Men give up part of their humanity. Boys want to know what it takes to be a man. We need to talk to boys. They take our silence as approval of the status quo. Dave Willis, author of Raising Boys Who Respect Girls, spent thirteen years as a full-time pastor and is now a speaker, author, relationship coach, and television host for MarriageToday. They have four young sons and live in Keller, Texas. Fan of the Mindful Mama Podcast? Support it by leaving a quick review -----> Apple Podcasts or on Stitcher (or wherever you listen!)

If you are the parent of a daughter, you’ve likely been subjected to a comment like, “just wait until she’s a teenager!” Today’s podcast guest, Sil Reynolds, co-author (with her teen daughter) of Mothering & Daughtering, pushes back against that outdated way of thinking. Think of her as the “daughter whisperer,” because she teaches us mindful ways of connecting with our tweens and teens authentically. Takeaways: What behavior issues—in toddlers and teens—really mean. Preteens and adolescents need us just as much or more than ever. Our cultural narrative about teen girls is untrue and often dangerous. Sil Reynolds is a nurse practitioner, psychotherapist, mother, and mothering coach. She is the co-author, with her daughter Eliza, of "Mothering and Daughtering: Keeping Your Bond Strong Through the Teen Years", and the host of We Thrive TV, a monthly vlog.

In this special on-air coaching session, Hunter talks Katie through how to respond to these difficult situations—with her child and her partner!

Rebecca Hershberg, child psychologist and mother of two shares with us the science of development and the art of managing your child’s tantrums.

But some fear is healthy and some is not. It’s smart for us to stay home, wash our hands (a LOT), and boost our immune systems, but what about when fear leads us to obsess? I invited Iyanla Vanzant, author, and star of “Iyanla: Fix My Life,” back to the Mindful Mama podcast to talk about how to take care of fear. Takeaways: Ego wants to separate us and make us feel alone in our heads. We can choose to experience this time from fear or power. We are interconnected and your self-care matters. Iyanla Vanzant is the host and Executive Producer of OWN’s acclaimed and award-winning series, “Iyanla: Fix My Life.” Iyanla’s body of work spans over three decades and includes 18 published books, six New York Times best-sellers CDs, television, radio, and stage performances.
