Episode 175: Food And Feelings - A Child's Perspective The Aware Parenting podcast

45:56

I'm so delighted to welcome Meg Rankin on to the podcast. Meg has been a Social Worker for 20 years, and still works in a tertiary hospital setting. She also has her own business offering Aware Parenting support, general counselling, birth debriefing, and supervision for care and health professionals. She also offers women's circles and mother blessings. Meg shares about how she'd known about Aware Parenting a long time before becoming a parent herself, because of being immersed in the parenting world in her work. Meg read The Aware Baby by Aletha Solter, PhD, and it changed the trajectory of her life. She talks about how Aware Parenting resonated deeply with her. Meg talks about the big journey from understanding and starting to listen to a baby's uncomfortable feelings whilst they cry in arms, to really diving deep into presence and attunement whilst listening to those feelings. We discuss the three different types of embodied experience that are so important for parents to go through in order to feel more comfortable with listening to their child's healing crying. Meg shares about her own journey to dive deeply into having an Aware Parenting community. We talk about the difference between dissociation and deep relaxation, and Meg shares how the penny dropped for her when she saw how deeply relaxed her daughter was after sharing her big feelings in Meg's loving arms. Meg shares about how the seed to become an instructor was planted, and also shares her experience of how supportive all the Aware Parenting instructors are of each other. Meg also talks about her understanding gathered through all the work she's done with women with drug and alcohol use, and the process of feeling pain that the control patterns have suppressed.

In this episode, I welcome back Nic Wilson, who was also in the last episode. This marks the return to talking about Aware Parenting, and is the first episode in a mini-series about people's journeys to become Aware Parenting instructors. Please note that Nic shares about going through a very tough time of three years of her daughter waking up every 45 minutes and feeling desperate and in her own words, "very low". Nic then talks about coming to Aware Parenting, how much it resonated, and the transformation it has brought to her and her daughter, who is now 11. Because Aware Parenting was so life-changing and life-saving for her, she knew that this is what she wanted to offer other parents. Nic shares about starting my Aware Parenting Instructor Mentoring Course, and then the amazing synchronicity that happened! Nic also talks about doing 1:1 Aware Parenting Instructor Mentoring with me, and the process she went through to start posting on Instagram. She also explains how connected she and her daughter are, and gives tangible examples of this. We talk about how much we both love waking up and creating posts or doing other things to share Aware Parenting. Nic offers 1:1 mentoring, as well as her Surviving School with Aware Parenting and The Marion Method Course, amongst other courses.

I'm so delighted that Carly Facius has returned to the podcast for the 6th time. She was also on episodes 149, 154, 159, 199, and 202. Carly is a mother of three, Registered Midwife, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, holds a Master of Primary Maternity Care, and is an Aware Parenting instructor. Carly shares about the very beginning of her journey to becoming an Aware Parenting instructor, which was when her Mum asked her to watch her brother, who would hold his breath. This was the beginning of her long journey of deeply observing babies. She was also deeply influenced by her mum, who was a midwife, and all the conversations about birth that she had with her mum whilst growing up. Carly shares about her experience travelling the world, and how that helped her later journey, including as an Aware Parenting instructor, and then about her experiences training to be a midwife. We talk about how parents are taught to respond to babies, and what a powerful effect that that can have. Carly shares about how observing how people in Indonesia talk to babies also had a powerful effect on her. We also talk about our shared experience of presence with our babies. Carly talks about how Aware Parenting has helped her to get to know herself in ways that she didn't before, and how it's been an important part of her becoming herself. We also talk about how our own parenting experiences are so key in our journey as Aware Parenting instructors. Carly says "becoming an Aware Parenting instructor is an investment in your journey to becoming yourself."

I'm so delighted to welcome on to the podcast Daniela Ekman, who is an Aware Parenting instructor and birthkeeper. Daniela shares about how she uses a lot of ancestral traditions and wisdom from South America in her work as a birthkeeper. She is from Venezuela. Daniela shares about her calling to become a birthkeeper, and the deep connection that she has with babies. This deep connection with babies is also what called her to become an Aware Parenting instructor. She shares about how much babies are affected by their experiences. We talk about how Aware Parenting helps babies stay connected with their innate presence. Daniela shares about experiences of reading my Inner Loving Presence cards, and how she feels when she does. She also talks about how she came across Aware Parenting when her first daughter was eight months old, when she was waking up many times at night. She shares about all the painful feelings and thoughts that she had when her daughter started to cry, before she found Aware Parenting. Daniela shares about how she could see the changes in her daughter almost immediately after starting to practice Aware Parenting. She was more relaxed and slept for longer periods. Daniela also shares how transformative Aware Parenting has been for her, such as in how she relates to crying and all feelings. She also explains the differences she experienced in practicing Aware Parenting from when her first daughter was 8 months old, and with her second daughter from birth. This includes how healing it has been for her first daughter, seeing Daniela listening to her sister's feelings as a baby. Daniela talks about how she first decided that she wanted to become an Aware Parenting instructor. We talk about how palpable the difference is when a baby or toddler has been brought up with Aware Parenting (whilst also reminding listeners that it's never too late to start!) She shares about what she observes in the families she works with, and in the Aware Parenting playgroup that she facilitates. We also share together about the effects of community support such as mother and baby groups and playgroups, and what a difference it makes when practicing Aware Parenting. We also talk about how being an Aware Parenting instructor is a continual learning journey.

This is the last episode in the series about reparenting with The Marion Method. In this episode, I welcome Nic Wilson, who is a Marion Method Mentor and Aware Parenting instructor. Nic shares about how she first came to The Marion Method 7 years ago, in a 1:1 willingness mentoring session with me. She talks about the power of reparenting with The Marion Method, including how our relationships with our Inner Loving Presences can often result in our outer relationships changing.

This is another episode about reparenting with The Marion Method. It's not about Aware Parenting. In this episode, which I recorded on Valentine's Day 2025, I share how you can use the Inner Beloved Practice or connecting with the Soul Version of your partner or ex-partner. I also picked a card from my Loving Presences Oracle Cards for you, and spoke some Inner Beloved phrases to you.

This is another episode of the reparenting series, which is based on The Marion Method, not reparenting. As parents, our relationships with our partners and exes can have a huge effect on our children. I love supporting my mentees, either in 1:1, or them as a couple, to use The Marion Method maps and practices to bring about deeper connection, harmony, and healing in their relationships. In this episode, I share the maps and practices which support that.

In this episode, I talk with Katie Fusco, who is an Aware Parenting instructor in the UK. Katie also works in perinatal mental health, and speaks a disclaimer that everything she shares on the episode is her own, based on her own experience. We'd also love to say, before you listen, that Katie shares some of her experiences during and after giving birth that were extremely traumatic, so please listen in to yourself and whether you are willing to listen, or continue listening. After Katie shares about those traumatic events, she then talks about (the descriptions are in her own words): - My story of discovering Aware Parenting and then The Marion Method - My initial uncomfortable thoughts/feelings/sensations in reaction to The Marion Method terminology - My realisation of how guilt/shame/judgement are designed to block the grieving process and perpetuate cultural conditioning - My rejection of the concepts of regulation, dysregulation, and window of tolerance - My experience of how hard/confronting/agonising I can find the re-parenting and re-culturing process, how it is in no way linear for me, YET how it has given me access to hope/joy/love/connection/laughter when I was unquestionably convinced that I was shackled to a life sentence of self loathing in relation to how my motherhood journey began. I found this to be an incredibly moving and powerful podcast, offering possibility for those parents who are going through deeply painful times at the moment, recognition for those who have gone through traumatic events in their birthing and parenting, and compassion for all of us. Much love xoxox…

Episode 215: Differentiating The Marion Method from Aware Parenting 27:46

25天之前27:46

27:46

In this episode, which continues the reparenting series, I describe terms and concepts from the Marion Method that are NOT used in Aware Parenting. These include: Soul Messages from Life Conversations with Life Reparenting, Re-culturing Disconnected Domination Culture Love-Needs, Will-Needs, Love-Hurts, Will-Hurts Needs-feelings, Healing-feelings, Thoughts-feelings Inner Loving Mother, Inner Loving Father, Inner Best Friend, Inner Beloved Reparative phrases Inner Children Listening to our yeses and noes Aware Parenting invites parents to meet their needs, have their feelings heard, have support and community, and is a model of how we were affected as children, but doesn't in itself have any practices of processes for our own inner work, beyond suggestions such as journalling, receiving listening from another person, or being in nature, such as watching a sunset.

45:43

This continues the reparenting series (and reculturing too). It's part of The Marion Method, not Aware Parenting. In this episode, I talk about the process of change from Marion Method perspective, and how getting freer from Disconnected Domination Culture conditioning, and instead embracing lovingness and willingness, supports us to say no to what we don't want, and yes to what we do want. I share about the difference between wanting and willing, and not wanting and not being willing, about the gifts of jealousy, and about why we might be scared to have, do, or be what we really want. I include the metaphor of having one foot on the accelerator and one foot on the brake, and how we can support ourselves to know that we are safe while having, doing, or being what we really want. I talk about Looking Back and Looking Forward with Lovingness and Willingness, which is a self-paced offering that includes audios, PDFs and Evernotes, so you can choose how you go about it. If you're thinking of joining my Marion Method Membership, I recommend doing this first.

This is another episode of the reparenting and reculturing series, and is based on The Marion Method, NOT Aware Parenting. I talk about why many people find it hard to say yes to what they have a yes for and no to what they have a no for, having grown up in The Disconnected Domination Culture. I share why this is particularly the case at this time of year. And I offer tangible suggestions for experiencing more safety in expressing full-body yeses and full-body noes. As well as Loving Presence statements to support that.

Episode 212: The tangible effects of having our needs met as mothers with Caitlin Jaspers 56:19

I love this episode with Caitlin Jaspers, who has been doing mentoring with me for the last 4 months. This episode includes both her practice of Aware Parenting, and also The Marion Method and Nonviolent Communication. Caitlin starts off sharing her journey with Aware Parenting, which started when her 4-month-old son was waking very frequently. Once she started practicing Aware Parenting, his sleep shifted. However, she then saw how much of an effect her own inner work, including her exploration of her control patterns, her willingness to have her needs met, and her having her feelings heard, affected her son's ability to freely express his emotions. I love how clearly Caitlin shares the direct and tangible effects of doing her own de-conditioning so she has been more and more willing to have her own needs met. I'm so grateful to Caitlin for sharing her experience of how powerful we are as mothers, and what a difference we can make to our children's experiences and willingness to express their healing-feelings to us.
