“Conscious Mothering: Using your Spiritual Connection and Intuition to guide you in Loving your children and yourself. “

Your Host: Sylvia Poareo, MSW

Do you ever find yourself stuck in the moment, trying to remember what the parenting experts said about how to handle what’s happening with your children right then and there? Do you take in a lot of parenting information but find yourself paralyzed by personal issues/history that get in the way? Do you find yourself longing to be connected to the greater vision of what this parenting business is all about?

In this workshop, you’ll learn to use the powerful BREATHE process to remain grounded in life’s challenging moments, heal painful personal history, and find the answers that are right for you and your family.

You’ll be reminded how to tap into your own inner knowing and spiritual connection to guide you above all else. You’ll learn practical ways to harness the power of your love for your children, to heal and love yourself. And you’ll reconnect to the grander spiritual picture to walk confidently through your days, trusting yourself as Mother; a vessel of Divine love, with the power, wisdom and creativity required for this blessed role in life!

About Sylvia

Sylvia Poareo holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from Azusa Pacific University, a Master’s Degree in Social Welfare at UCLA, and is a certified Spiritual Counselor with the Association for the Integration of the Whole Person. For over 15 years, she has shared the power of healing through social work in hospital, adoption, foster care and elementary school settings using play/art therapy and training others in these processes. Since becoming a mother, she has offered spiritually-based counseling, serving as a “midwife to the healing process."

Having been inspired by her own experience as a new mother, she created Conscious Mothering Circles, support and workshops, as a perfect complement to parenting education. Conscious Mothering helps mothers heal the emotional challenges that interfere with parenting (or integrating parenting advice), by reconnecting to their own inner wisdom and spiritual connection.

Sylvia feels passionately that motherhood is an incomparable time of growth, learning and healing, to be engaged in consciously so we can be truly loving to ourselves, to our precious ones, and the world.

She established www.connectingwithin.com, as a safe and sacred online space that is an antidote to our disconnected society with its focus on real connection to self, to God/love, nature and each other. She shares inspired writing on healing, mothering, spirituality, and supports others to connect within and with each other. She feels privileged and blessed to share many powerful healing tools and help mothers reconnect to their true beauty, power and wisdom!

"Parenting With Style to Avoid Clashes"

Your Host: Dr. Caron Goode, Author and Founder of the Academy for Coaching Parents International

Every morning, six-year-old Josh and his mom clash. A daydreamer by nature, Josh moves through life at a slower pace than his task-oriented mom. This is most evident in the morning when meandering Josh and his highly organized mother are trying to get out the door. This daily struggle highlights their obviously different personal styles.

Personal style is a natural predisposition toward time, stress, people, tasks, and situations. It is also the foundation on which preferences, reactions, and life values are built. When parents understand their child’s personal style, communication and interaction become easier and more effective. This can be instrumental in helping parents achieve the behavioral results they want, and the harmony they desire.

In this workshop, you will learn:

• Understand the four personal styles and how your children relate to their environment.
• Learn which types of motivation are effective for specific types of children.
• Enhance communication by understanding how your child processes information.

Mission Statements for Motherhood: What are they and why are they important?

Your Host: Leta Hamilton, Author, Talk Radio Host

How will you be remembered? Step back from the trees to see the forest. Put what really matters to you most in one simple format that will bring back perspective no matter what is going on around you.

• Clarity about your core values as a person and as a parent.
• A gift to yourself that you can frame and put up in your kitchen, bedroom, or both.
• A tool to remind yourself why you became a parent in the first place when things get a little crazy.

About Leta

Leta Hamilton draws upon her lifelong study of the Spiritual Truths at the heart of all religions to formulate effective, sustainable ways to prevent the craziness and chaos of modern motherhood from overwhelming even the most harried mother. Born the daughter of a Navy Chaplain, she was exposed to all walks of life and learned from her father the value of tolerance, kindness and mutual support. As an adult, she has lived in Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom. She has worked in both the corporate world and as a full-time mom. In her own search to find meaning and balance in the midst of poopy diapers and piles of laundry, she has dedicated her life to helping other mothers redefine what it means to be a successful mother raising successful children. As a mother to 1, 3 and 5 year old boys, she draws upon the inexhaustible material of her day-to-day life to make everything she teaches relatable and real.

In her book, The Way of the Toddler: The Craziness of Modern Motherhood and the Spiritual Lessons I Learned from My Zen Masters in Diapers, she writes about her experiences as a mother with “great humor, honesty and insightfulness and translates them into spiritual lessons. She shares what she has learned from her Zen Masters about loving, judging, being in the now, relationships, and so much more.”* When Leta speaks in front of audiences or is interviewed by the media, she shares her formulas for writing a Mission Statement for Motherhood and Zen-like parenting with her D-I-A-P-E-R for life (not just for babies). In her weekly radio show aired on the “I’m Thankful™” Network, she shares her mission, and her passion, to create greater context in parenting and open the conversation about what we can learn from the innate wisdom and natural spirituality of our “Zen Masters in Diapers.”
