Find The Magic

Ideas have the power to change us. While creating this podcast, we have had several ideas and philosophies that we have researched, tested and discovered to be truly transformative for us. They have made our lives better in SO many ways.  In this episode, we have put together some of our very favorite podcast pieces that we have found valuable. We talk about cultivating abundance, enthusiasm and joy as well as coming to a still awareness and acceptance of things we cannot change. We also tie this in to parenting unconditionally and with empathy. At the soul of this all is our ability to know ourselves, intuitively and make decisions based on this knowing.  Related Episodes Finding Joy and Enthusiasm in Every Day Tapping Into the Abundance Inside Us Feeling lost?  How to Cultivate Meaning Using Intuition to guide New Year Preparation EPISODE SPONSORS Utah House Doctors: Everyone knows that the market is hot right now and it is the perfect time to sell your home, but what you may not know is using a professional in this type of market will actually make you more money then if you try and sell your home yourself, or sell with a discount brokerage.

It is exhausting when we feel like we must entertain our children for every moment of their lives. Not only is it draining, but it allows us no time to actually get things done or care for ourselves. Luckily for us, kids instinctively know now to play independently if we give them the space they need to develop this skill. It allows them to be creative, use their imagination, and problem solve. In this episode, Taralyn interviews Emily Lawson, a certified early education teacher and founder of the Sandbox Academy, about independent play. She has several concrete tips on how to actually free yourself and your kids through independent play. Her formula is: establish a routine that includes daily independent play your kids learn to expect, have special toys that only come out during independent play, start with small chunks of time, and go outside into nature.

At some points in parenting it feels like our kids are misbehaving so often that we can’t help but just lose it. In this episode we answer some listener questions addressing what to do when our inner fire keeps flaring up and we end up lashing out at our children’s behavior. Sometimes, we learn better, so we do better, but our children are accustomed to the old way of doing things. We address some realistic ways to incorporate new routines and parenting strategies as our children grow, even when they aren’t used to it.

Technology is a wonderful tool, but it makes a poor master. In this episode, Felica talks with Diane Boden from Minimalist Moms Podcast about implementing digital minimalism in our homes. She offers a realistic view of life with screens and kids, embracing the messy middle of life and coexisting with them.  They touch on many concrete tips to make it achievable from independent play to hard conversations about devices in your home (peer pressure!). We view the screen epidemic as very dangerous. If we band together as parents and question societal norms we can lead our kids to a more connected and aware future.  Related Books and links: Digital Minimalism // Cal Newport Atomic Habits // James Clear Gabb Phone Tick Talk Watch Our Related Episodes: Saving Our Kids and Ourselves from Screens & Social Media with Collin Kartchner  Finding Solitude Through Digital Minimalism Curbing Your Screen Attachment Tantrums, Screen Time, and Breaking Out of a Funk EPISODE SPONSOR Utah House Doctors: Everyone knows that the market is hot right now and it is the perfect time to sell your home, but what you may not know is using a professional in this type of market will actually make you more money then if you try and sell your home yourself, or sell with a discount brokerage.

For people who consider themselves to be artists, making time for creativity can feel as important as breathing. However, for the rest of us, we might dismiss the concept of cultivating creativity as something “cute” that only other people have time for. We might feel like creativity is simply an unnecessary luxury that doesn’t mesh with the practical responsibilities of life. Creativity is a key component to wholehearted living for ALL of us. In this episode, we discuss ways that everyone, regardless of interests, personality, and responsibilities, can benefit from engaging with the creative spark in all of us. Creation feeds our souls.

In a few weeks our kids will be home for the summer, and our daily schedules will change drastically. A lot of jokes, angst and dread can surround this time of year. Let’s start as we mean to go on! In this episode, we are sharing some of our favorite tips for designing our summer. We touch on creating and setting boundaries from the start, letting our kids be and resisting screen entertaining.  If we have learned anything this year, it is that being fluid and available for change can help us live in the present and create a calm atmosphere in our homes. As we let them be free to work through the B word (boredom!) we will come out the other side with having enjoyed our summer together!

Do you ever feel parent guilt? We get so many questions from listeners about the torn feeling that comes while trying to balance being a whole person ourselves while still serving our families with love. In this episode, we answer this question as we discuss how we can set boundaries for ourselves, protect our own personal time (shower time, bathroom, etc.) and learn to coexist with more ease without young children. We also address questions about reinventing ourselves as our children grow, how to handle kids being sneaky and hiding things, and how to deal with our children being bossy and having public meltdowns.

The search for simplicity and slow can be overwhelming. As we looked for where to start the prompting to go inside was reoccurring. In this we start with clearing and cleaning up our mind first. How can we free up our minds, create more mental minimalism to live in the present moment, while still accomplishing our goals and managing our lives day to day? Do you have too many big rocks in your jar? We explore the concept of balance and where we may be confusing balance with perfectionism and bringing awareness to the time we realistically have. Lastly we touch on time, not getting stuck in our thoughts of the past or pushing for the future but how we can live here in this moment.

We all have the same 24 hours in a day. And yet, somehow, it often seems like others somehow are doing more, accomplishing more with their time and we are left feeling like failures. We have people who need us, responsibilities to fulfill, and what can seem like an endless to do list that we are never caught up on. This can lead to us chasing after achieving and we end up in a space of burnout and being constantly busy. In this episode, we hash out how we ourselves struggle with the balance between accomplishment and calm, and the things we have found helpful as we search for the elusive balance.

Most of us say that happiness is something that we want, and society is all too willing to volunteer a recipe for finding it. If only we had the right size house, in the right neighborhood, with the right job, then we would be happy. In this episode, Jess Klaznick helps us recalculate happiness as she shares her family’s journey to joy. She found that after achieving the recipe that society offered to her for happiness, she was surprised that the happiness promised didn’t automatically follow. She and her husband sold much of their belongings to travel the world with their children, and the insights she gained along the way are both inspiring and helpful.

When we have a child who is misbehaving, it is easy to see him or her as a “problem child”. We don't want to crush our child, but also don't want to be so loose that our child becomes a tyrant. The paradox is that as we see our children for their worth and raise them in their own power we can begin to feel feelings of frustration, that we aren't listened to or disrespected. This can cause us to swing wildly from extreme discipline to lax parenting. We can find ourselves at a loss as to how we can maintain some semblance of order and connection in our homes. In this episode, Felica explores this dynamic with Joe Newman, author of the incredible book, Raising Lions.  Joe has decades of experience working with children whose behavior is so difficult that they are medicated, sent to other learning facilities, etc.  His work has helped countless children who have been labeled as a lost cause, and has given relief and hope to many parents who are at their wit’s end. He explains how we can use compassion within structure and firm boundaries as we navigate raising our children by finding the balance between power and connection.

Even though it can FEEL like there is one right way to parent in any situation; in our hearts we know that isn't true. We can feel the parenting advice that aligns with our personality. We can see the change in our child when we are acknowledging them for who they are. Parenting is not a one size fits all for us or our kids.  This week we are distilling concepts from the book The Child Whisperer by Carol Tuttle. Her unique take on recognizing our child's nature guides us to a more true interpretation of their needs and how we can guide them true to their personality, energy and desires! We loved this book so much and think you will too. If you are feeling at odds with one or more of your children and need a reset; this unique way of interacting with your children may be just the thing you need!

When most of us think of our experiences with conflict in communication, we feel emotions ranging from mild discomfort to full fledged panic or dread. In this episode,  we explore our approach to conflict with Clair Canfield, a brilliant professor on the subject of communication. He models what he teaches throughout this conversation and he offers us amazing tools to help us improve our relationships by holding space for others and changing our lens about what it means to connect with others. Clair's pillars of communication are nothing short of groundbreaking and have changed our approach forever.  Here they are: 1. Belief in the capacity to change 2. Belief in self determination (people have the right and ability to choose. Advice giving is counterintuitive) 3. Everyone has dignity 4. Safety- do not cause harm 5. Ethic of care (benevolence) You can watch Clair’s Tedx talk here, and his website is Canfieldconsulting.net.
