Thoughts create our reality- but our beliefs shape everything. Our attachment to those thoughts, especially the ones about US and our identity matters most. As we do the work of non-attachment, recognize beliefs we hold, and shift them- we feel success on the inside and manifest it on the outside. In today’s episode you’ll hear: Why our beliefs matter so much, and how to tap into the subconscious ones (so much more than the regular “thought work”).What is blocking us from the success we want (and how to shift it).The Big Leap’s Upper Limit Problem (and it’s connection to shame work). Doing the inner work, “success is an inside job”.I would love to support you 1:1 over the next 12 months, deep-diving into everything I talked about today: www.coachcrystal.ca/miracle---Links to Crystal’s work, to help on your own inner journey: Intuitive Journaling Prompts HERE and a somatic meditation (Move through frustration in 15 minutes or less) HERE, The Art of Non-Attachment Workshop HEREGet started on this work with daily practice in a journal, Burn This Book (a great intro to mental and emotional wellness) HEREWork with Crystal 1:1: www.coachcrystal.ca/miracle or in group: www.coachcrystal.ca/creationroomGrab your copy of Crystal’s feelings wheel here: www.coachcrystal.ca/wheel

S10|08 - How to Prep for Kids Moving Out
I just came back from visiting our ‘adult’ child and pondering on what has made our relationship successful and connected- and what helped with his readiness to move out. On the episode today I’ll share 3 things that are integral to a healthy parent-child relationship, and how we can prep emotionally for them moving out- in a way that benefits them. In today’s episode: Our story of a child moving out, and how the experience has been for all of us (you don’t have to follow the typical stories you hear about hard phases of parenting). How to build trust in your child and their path (even in their mistakes and failures). How to separate in a healthy way (non-attachment here, one of my fave things to discuss) which leaves room for true connection- our goal. ---Links to Crystal’s work, to help on your own inner journey: Intuitive Journaling Prompts HERE and a somatic meditation (Move through frustration in 15 minutes or less) HERE, The Art of Non-Attachment Workshop HEREGet started on this work with daily practice in a journal, Burn This Book (a great intro to mental and emotional wellness) HEREWork with Crystal 1:1: www.coachcrystal.ca/miracle or in group: www.coachcrystal.ca/creationroomGrab your copy of Crystal’s feelings wheel here: www.coachcrystal.ca/wheel

S10|06 - Trust Your Kids
If I were to write a parenting book THIS would be my thesis. It’s one thing I find missing in the parenting sphere… what if we trusted our kids more? Why don’t we? What was our childhood around trusting ourselves, our body, our wisdom… and how is that playing out in our own parenting? Join me today in this workshop-style episode, where we’ll really get to the root of distrust, and learn why it’s integral for a wholesome childhood. In today’s episode: I announce that The Parenting Coach Podcast, after 200+ episodes and over 100,000 downloads is retiring (and why) We dig into trust in our own childhood, and what beliefs we might still be storing in our mind that block us from trusting our kids Trust energy is much more than actions or words, and our children FEEL it Our role in parenting, and what we can do to foster a healthy environment for our child-plant to grow. ----The Art of Non-Attachment REPLAY HEREIntuitive Journaling Prompts HERE and a somatic meditation (Move through frustration in 15 minutes or less) HEREGet started on this work with daily practice in a journal (a great intro to mental and emotional wellness) HEREWork with Crystal 1:1: www.coachcrystal.ca/miracle or in group: www.coachcrystal.ca/creationroomGrab your copy of Crystal’s feelings wheel here: www.coachcrystal.ca/wheel
