For over 20 years, she has been helping families thrive by using a guidance approach to parenting called Conscious Parenting.We talk with Kathryn about how parents can model moving through difficulty without making their children responsible for holding it, the truths we don’t speak in an attempt to avoid hurting those we love, the difference between an intellectual understanding of spiritual principles and using them as tools for moving through our daily lives, and understanding our children’s behaviors not as good or bad - but as very human attempts to get their needs met.This conversation is one that we know will not only be incredibly beneficial for parents, but all of us doing the work of understanding the process of stepping fully into a sense of self.You can connect with Katherine on IG @katherinewintersellery or on her website, consciousparentingrevolution.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Mark Groves specializes in the art of translating human connection by challenging belief systems that hold us back from one another and by offering a new perspective on what it means to love courageously. We talk with Mark about how painful experiences like a breakup can be an invitation to expansion, curiosity as the remedy for our deepest divisions, the allure of the codependent dance, and how understanding our roles as over-functioners or under-functioners can help us to step into our more authentic selves in our relationships (and how that can allow others to do the same). We could have explored these concepts with Mark forever, and we know you’ll take as much away from this episode as we did!
