Ep 7474.🎙️Summer Guest Series: Rewiring Your Parenting Story (with Amber Plant)

In this heart-centered conversation, I'm joined by Amber Plant—educator, coach, and fellow cycle-breaker—who brings compassion and clarity to the often invisible work of shifting the way we parent, think, and show up. We talk about: The deep-rooted programming that shows up in our parenting How Amber's journey with reparenting herself changed the way she parents her kids Why it's not about being the perfect parent—it's about being present and willing to grow Tools and truths to help you shift your narrative without shame Amber's story is full of honesty, wisdom, and encouragement for any parent who's tired of surviving and ready to lead from connection, not control. 🎧 This episode is your reminder that you can rewrite your story—and you don't have to do it alone. About Amber Plant: Amber Plant was a high-achieving business owner and corporate marketer running on autopilot until trauma forced her to hit pause. Corporate burnout and childbirth trauma led her to ask herself, for the first time, "Who am I living for?" Over the next three years, she healed, discovered what she truly wanted, and learned how to intimately connect with her intuition and true self. After years of building other people's dreams, Amber felt called to take a chance on her own. Her healing journey became the catalyst for Rebrand Your Life, a podcast platform and group coaching container that supports women who have checked all the boxes yet feel that their personal lives, careers, relationships, and routines no longer work for them. Amber's life mission is to help women reclaim their purpose by guiding them back to their connection with their soul, also known as intuition, which provides divine direction for every intimate detail of their lives. Once they learn how to tap into their intuitive power, they can partner with the universe and manifest a life aligned with who they want to become. She guides women in developing their intuition, breaking the cycle of self-betrayal, redefining success, and trusting their inner guidance as the bridge to profound self-acceptance and soul-led transformation.

Ep 7373. 🎙️Summer Guest Series: The Power of Self-Awareness (with Michelle Payne)

In this episode, I'm joined by Michelle Payne — a thoughtful, insightful guide who helps people navigate the messy, beautiful work of becoming more self-aware so they can show up differently for themselves and their families. We talk about: ✨ How self-awareness is the foundation of breaking generational patterns ✨ Why noticing your triggers is more powerful than trying to "fix" yourself ✨ The permission to grow at your own pace — and let your kids witness it ✨ How small shifts in your awareness ripple into big changes in your relationships Michelle brings a calm clarity to the conversation, reminding us that we can't change what we won't name — but naming it is enough to start. 🎧 Tune in to feel seen, encouraged, and reminded that you're already doing the work. About your Guest Michelle Payne: I've always been fascinated by how we love, live, lead, and how we carry pain. Our stories hold deep wisdom, and every challenge shapes who we're here to become. Now, in my 50s, I work with women who hold everything: the family, the business, the team. I see how easily we shrink to fit invisible moulds. I also see how powerful we become when we remember who we are. You are not broken. You are not stuck. You are simply ready for something more. That's where I come in. ​My work is about helping you rebuild your self-trust, to recognise the outdated beliefs that have been holding you back and providing you with the tools to embrace the truth of who you are without the masks and labels. The 6 STEPS TO EMBODIMENT ™️ was created for you as a framework to give practical support when navigating through your daily life, both professionally and personally. These 6 powerful steps will expand your awareness and allow you to discover a resolution to any situation. This unique methodology has guided many women through the process of recognising and acknowledging the truth of where they're currently at, creating exciting opportunities to embrace their authentic self and reveal once and for all, their own uniqueness. These 6 steps are fondly known amongst our Embodied Life community as RAARER : R - recognise A - acknowledge A - accept R - resolve E - embrace R - reveal Alongside RAARER I weave in my PLEASURE MAP ™️, encouraging women to dive even deeper into their stories & unconscious beliefs about Intimacy, Sexuality, Playfulness & Pleasure. You don't need more pressure. It's presence, space and a new perspective that your body and soul is craving. This is the foundation of everything I offer. And it starts with you. The ones holding the energy, the family, the team. My work is about helping you come back to yourself. You don't need more productivity hacks. You need presence. Perspective. Self-trust. I use embodiment to help you release what no longer fits, rebuild your confidence, and lead a life that feels fully yours, in your relationships, work, parenting, and purpose. ​Michelle Payne - Embodied Woman Coach Leading women to reveal their truth & embrace their full potential 💖 Live an Extraordinary Life 🔥 Cultivate Confidence & Certainty ✨ Create Sacred Connections 0408 952 775 Connect with Michelle HERE: https://www.facebook.com/michellepayne.embodiedlife https://www.anembodiedlife.com.au/ 💖💖💖 About your host, Angie Grandt – Generational Healing Specialist Grab your personalized Human Design Chart here: https://www.angiegrandt.com/ (just scroll to the bottom of the page!!)

Ep 5757. I don't want to parent like I was parented

Can you relate to this statement: "I don't want a parent like I was parented"? We often feel that our parent was too lenient, so we tend to be stricter, or a parent was too strict, so we tend to be more lenient. Or perhaps your parent was so involved that you feel the need to be super involved or vice versa. During this episode, we'll talk about what leads to these different parenting types and the power that you have to really choose to parent in an intentional way that helps you feel more aligned with how you're showing up for your kiddos.

Ep 5656. The first step to tackling behaviors - in all relationships

Last week, I gave a brief overview of the 4 mistaken motivations that are the underlying cause of most, if not all, of our human behaviors. Our behaviors come from 5 core needs, and when we understand these 5 core needs and then look at behaviors through the lens of mistaken motivation, we show up totally differently. But there's a catch. There's a really key component that we must do first before we really can step in to using this Mistaken Motivation strategy. In this episode, I'll outline exactly what that 1 thing is that we must do if we want to change our most important relationships for good. I can't wait to hear your thoughts.

Ep 5555. What's really leading to behaviors...

Do you feel like you've tried every behavior management strategy under the sun, and nothing seems to work for your child? I've been there. I tried positive behavior strategies, reward systems, consequences, therapy, medication, accupuncture, EMDR, time-ins, time-outs, giving rewards, taking away privileges - you name it, we tried it! And yet nothing seemed to work. In fact, in my home, the behaviors just kept getting worse and worse and worse. I was so desperate to try to fix the behaviors that I didn't know what else I could possibly do. I was exhausted trying all of these things, and if you had suggested to me that I try one more thing, I probably would have told you where to stick that strategy LOL. I'm not encouraging you to do something more. I'm encouraging you to take a listen to this powerful episode, and take a step back and look at your child's behaviors through a totally different lens. A lens that I feel confident you've probably never looked at those behaviors through before. When you start to see your child's behaviors, or even your partner's behaviors, through the lens of Mistaken Motivation, your whole view of how to address behaviors totally changes. It's not about doing more, or expending energy that you don't see that you have. It's about seeing what's actually causing the behaviors in the first place and addressing that instead of spending all your energy on putting all these band-aids on. So take a listen to this episode.
