This is the Father’s Day edition of Authentic Moments!   I sat down with 10 amazing dads from around the world and asked them very deep questions about fatherhood. Their honest, wise, insightful answers surprised me. We talked about empathy, emotions, self discovery, self development, self care and so much more.   Were those fathers ready for fatherhood?  How has fatherhood change them? What are some powerful lessons they have learned along the way? What do they think about self care for dads and do they have regular self care practices or are they running on empty like moms? How are they enjoying fatherhood today? What do they wish they had for father's day? First Father’s Day. What are their memories?   And some things they say just will melt your heart...   Also... -Not knowing is ok. You don't have to be omnipotent -you can unschool your kids and travel with your family all over Europe -Why we shouldn’t be afraid of boredom and how important it is to have free time and space to reflect -The importance of unconditional love -Complete new definition of manhood -Take off the mask, be authentic and real -Why you should stay focused on your partnership -Alternative lifestyle and dreams. Do you support your wife in her dreams? 3 month long road trip in a trailer, yes please! -You can learn from your children -Take your time and play -Did we mention play? -Why dads don’t need gifts for father’s day   While I listened to their stories, reflections, memories and thoughts, I noticed themes emerge. I wonder if you, the listener, noticed them too.

One mother's journey of raising herself through her daughter's essence. This powerful, authentic and enlightening conversation will move you. In this episode: -we don’t have control -our children come to us to awaken us and “raise” us -conscious parenting is not easy -what Sandra brought into her parenting from her past -what are lessons she wants her daughter to learn from her -how doe she wants to be remembered by her daughter -much more... About Sandra: After consciously leaving the corporate world in 2012 when her daughter turned one, Sandra Fazio began letting go of all she thought she needed “to do” and gave permission to the Universe to “let be” what was meant for her life. Two years later, after enduring more challenges and anxiety in her new-found motherhood journey than she ever expected, Sandra was greatly inspired by Dr. Shefali Tsabary’s interview with Oprah on Super Soul Sunday on her book The Conscious Parent and knew this was the Universe’s message for Sandra to serve her life’s calling and purpose. Sandra found her daughter was “raising her” in ways she never thought possible and was about to experience her own re-birthing and metamorphosis into motherhood to meet and embrace her daughter’s essence for all she came into this life to be, serve and teach her. Sandra is a Conscious Parent / Life Coach, Author and Founder of The Conscious Parent Blog and brings an authentic, open and honest heart to each connection in her life. Her offering is to expand and deepen the conversations around conscious parenting for all parents and parent-type figures, to raise our collective self-awareness and to make this world better for our children to live and lead and for generations to come.

The Mother’s Day Edition Is self care selfish? Are you just barely coping and surviving or thriving in your motherhood? “MOTHERHOOD is not for the faint of heart!! It is said that the SPIRITUAL JOURNEY is about acquiring nothing, but releasing everything that we have picked up along the way that gets in the way of expressing our fullest potential. Motherhood is by far the deepest process of letting go of all that I had acquired that doesn't serve the fullest expression of the Mother I know I am here to be. “ This powerful, authentic and enlightening conversation will move you. In this episode: -what is your mindset around self care and why -root causes for women and moms for not taking care of themselves -do you give yourself permission to ask for help and receive help? -what are your residual cultural beliefs around motherhood -how do you deal with guilt?
