Ep. 127 Holistic Parenting and Childcare with Dr. Nicole Beurkens

Spirit Sessions Podcast Guest

This special episode features a conversation with Holistic Child Psychologist Dr. Nicole Beurkens. Dr. Nicole is a psychologist, nutritionist, educator, and mom who provides parents with super simple, effective research-based strategies to help people get to the root of their children’s anxiety, attention issues, mood, and behavioral challenges. Tune in to hear Katie and Dr. Nicole discuss the many realms of parenting, styles of parenting, and how all systems in a child’s life contribute to their emotional and physical well-being.

In this episode you’ll hear: 

~ How holistic psychology is about recognizing that what goes on in people's minds and their mental and emotional and behavioral experiences in life are completely connected to everything that is going on in their physical body

~ The importance of children’s roles within family systems and how children are a mirror for what’s going on around them

~ How we can examine what’s happening around the child and the systems in order to better understand their challenges

~ The family system and how it incorporates lineage patterns 

~ How children can reflect to parent the unresolved issues within them that may need to be addressed

~ How the stories we tell ourselves about parenting can have deleterious effects on children and the relationship

~ An overview of the types of parenting attachment styles and the pros and cons of each

~ How to take into account all the systems that could be contributing to undesirable behaviors and ways to address them

~ You can connect with Dr. Nicole Beurkens through her website: www.drbeurkens.com or via Instagram @drnicolebeurkens

Ep. 126 What’s Botox Got To Do With It

This is a picture of Katie Silcox. The text reads, "Spirit Sessions: Find your true spiritual home with Katie Silcox."

It's natural and healthy to want to be as juicy and nature-plumped for as long as possible. But something may be lurking in the shadows of the beauty industry - Botox and its effects on your emotional and social regulation system. Just how far are we willing to go to keep that eternal plump of youth? What are we willing to sacrifice? Here Katie speaks openly about natural living fundamentalism, embodied cognition, our social nervous system and what all of this has to do with Botox injections. 

P.S. This is a NO-JUDGMENT zone over here at Shakti School. We 100% support a woman’s right to make her own beauty decisions and support our Botoxed Beauties as much as anyone. In fact, thousands of years of history show us that women will go to great lengths to beautify themselves. And while beautification methodology is very much a personal choice, women deserve to be educated on the effects of Botox on their social nervous system. So whether you are a Botox-queen or a natural-only mama, let’s release judgment and dive in deep in this not-to-be-missed pod.

In this episode you’ll hear: 

~

The idea of embodied cognition 

~ The importance of our social nervous system and the ventral vagal complex

~ What natural living fundamentalism is and how it relates to wellness culture (p.s. We love a Vitamix ;))

~ The importance of our micro musculatures for regulating mood states

~ How botox can not only affect the way other people perceive your emotions, but also impact the emotional experience of the person who had the injection
