The ReProgram

Y'all. I haven't met another coach or clinician who is more aligned with me around parenting, the nervous system, and what that means for US adults as we navigate these bodies, lives, and the monumental task of parenting. Amanda is here to offer a supremely refreshing perspective on how we need to peel back the layers of what we're doing and focus entirely on what is most critical-- me...

Matrescense is a life-changing word coined by Anthropologist Dana Raphael in 1973, that encapsulates the physical, hormonal, social and emotional transition that a woman experiences when she becomes a mother. This is a lifelong process that is often referenced as similar to adolescence, in that once this change begins in us there is no returning to who we once were.  Matrescense looks different fo...

I am honored to have Buddhist, Spiritual Mentor, musician, and Dad muse Jaymee Carpenter on the pod today. Jaymee has humbly, honestly, and deeply discovered himself and some truths about life (that are, ironically, universal truths that must be discovered individually).   Jaymee has experienced such extreme highs and lows-- he ran away from home as a teen after experiencing abuse, was drug-addict...

These innovative wise women bring so many refreshing and evidence-based thoughts to the parenting space, where we get a big old permission slip to co-create a sustainable home life that works for all parties, build skills, agenc...

I brought my deeply wise colleague Jillian Kelly to come talk to us about all things grief for the podcast today and honestly I was blown away with how beautiful it became.  This episode will move you,. We talked about how we can navigate grief in our families, the ambiguous grief that comes with our growing awareness of how our lived experience impacted us, how we can use music to move us, and ho...

I am filled with pleasure to present this conversation with Somatic Sex, Love and Relationship Coach Faith Laux.  We discuss how healing from our traumas also means reinviting pleasure into our lives, we talk about embodiment, and how we can choose our experience over our appearance for our children, and ourselves, starting a compliment practice, and so much more.  Faith also explained how she rec...

Join me and the deep and delightful Robin Plemmons as we discuss codependency and how it shows up in our relationships, our bodies, and our parenting. I find that codependency is a widely misunderstood concept, and can often be such a gateway to more peace and freedom in our lives.  Robin Plemmons is an artist/ illustrator, a writer, and an overly enthusiastic (yet not annoying) cheerleader at hea...

Welcome to the first episode! In this inaugural ep I explain how when we learn (just enough!) about the nervous system we can start to judge less and find more safety in the present moment, reclaiming the highest qualities of our best selves and our kiddos. I explain how we came to cruise in a chronic stress response, and how we can start to crawl our way out of it. There is learning here, but als...
