Magic Manifesting Moments, SIGNS from the other side & helping kids through anxiety
This is the kind of episode that gives us tingles.. we talk about the great expanse of the universe and all the many otherworldly things that just can’t be explained away by a textbook. From connections to the other side, to some (wild!!) manifesting successes, to helping lift the mental load for our kids and how being open & embodying a positive outlook in ourselves filters down to our children; setting them up to have the belief that their dreams, no matter how big, are achievable. We get a little esoteric, a little woo woo and truly, madly, deeply inspired!Resource Links:Laura Lynne JacksonThe Sleepeasy Solutions by Jennifer Wahlberg and Jill SpivackFollow Amber Interiors on IG: @amberinteriorsListen to the Law of Attraction Tribe Podcast New Horizon Holistic CentreFollow Sarah Wright Olsen: IG: @swrightolsenFollow Teresa Palmer: IG: @teresapalmer FB: https://www.facebook.com/teresamarypalmer/DISCOUNT CODES: • Go to www.baeo.com and get 20% when using the code MOTHERDAZE20 • Go to www.lovewell.earth and get 20% when using the code MOTHERDAZE20More about the show! • Watch this episode on YouTube here • Co-founders of @yourzenmama yourzenmama.com • Read and buy our book!
