The Spiritual Technology and Wisdom to Transform Lives

Today, I'm sharing a very personal passion and deeply spiritual interest of mine, Kabbalah. I have been studying this transformational spiritual technology and wisdom on and off for over ten years but only recently have dedicated many hours to learning more to help me feel more at peace and purposeful in my life. It has also helped me with countless tools and practices to self-regulate, calm and profoundly accept myself while offering me different perspectives to feel more at peace with where I am right now. I use these shifts in my relationships and friendships, my business, my coaching clients and throughout daily my existence. To say it's been a life-changing shift is an understatement!And this week's guest is David Ghiyam, one of the teachers at the Kabbalah Centre and someone I have learnt a lot from. He has given over 20,000 hours of personal, spiritual, and entrepreneurial coaching and 1000 seminars utilizing the universal wisdom of Kabbalah. His passion is to bring value wherever he can to help others achieve a fulfilling life. He gave a MasterClass encompassing those teachings at www.KabbalahOne.com.David also hosts one of the world's top spiritual podcasts, Weekly Energy Boost, with over 2M downloads. David brought his experiences through helping others to co-found MaryRuth's () with his wife MaryRuth, a category leader in vegan liquid vitamins and gummies and a trusted brand among millions of parents for kids' health nationwide.

Before starting today's episode, why not check out Kate's ADHD workshops and free resources here?Ever since reading about the concept of 'low-demand parenting,' which is helping many neurodivergent parents regulate their neurodivergent kids, I've been desperate to talk about this on the podcast.

I'm delighted to welcome this week's guest, Amanda Diekman, an autistic adult, parent coach, and author in the neurodiversity space. We discuss dropping demands, restoring calm, and finding connections with our children.Amanda became a leading voice in the movement for low-demand parenting practices with her book Low Demand Parenting, published in July 2023.  She lives with her husband and three neurodivergent children in an intentional community in Durham, NC.On today's episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Amanda and Kate spoke about:Amanda's son's autism diagnosis journey What it means to be a 'low-demand parent'Re-defining how you want to parentAbeism - what does this look likeLetting go of parenting demands, habits or standards that aren't benefiting you Releasing all the expectations, pressures, shoulds and conditioning to help create a calmer environment for our familyThings you can drop or change to make parenting easier for youMaking communication safe for your autistic or neurodivergent child What it means to 'un-school'Dealing with systems and schools as a neurodivergent parent Asking for accommodations for you and your childrenLook at some of Kate's ADHD workshops and free resources here.Kate Moryoussef is a women’s ADHD Lifestyle & Wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity, and clarity. Follow the podcast on Instagram here.Follow Kate on Instagram here.Find Kate's resources on ADDitude magazine here.
