This is a bonus show! An extra show recorded over a year ago that was never released on the live stream. It's a fantastic show with coaching for moms and dads who are looking to break out of unfulfilling lives and feel abundant again. My terrific studio team joins in to lift you up... and give you back a little better than how we found you!

Exciting News! Thank you for letting your voice be heard! We love knowing that you still have a desire to keep our weekly radio show going... and we are happy to announce that we have found a way! After 7 years, This Little Parent Stayed Home is heading back to a studio where we'll be able to continue bringing you quality content, progressive conversations and support in Parenting, Business and Self-Development... and... we'll once again be able to take callers! (more details at a later time...) Unless you LET GO, you won't be able to MOVE FORWARD. Possibly one of the greatest lessons I have learned during this demanding, mystifying and enlightening year is the power of SURRENDER. After thrashing about in a pool of struggle and becoming VERY CLOSE to drowning in my own insignificant efforts, the ultimate solution was revealed when I chose to forfeit my energy to the flow of the current. It wasn't long after I let go that the rewards began to surface. Dare I say... I've been almost OVERWHELMED with the flow of abundance that has permeated my present experience. Business victories, speaking engagements, the resurrection of this radio broadcast, television shows, teaching opportunities... the list of wins lately goes on and on. Do something today that your future will thank you for. There is nothing wrong with having an intense desire for something that you don't have... but obsessing about the outcome can create impenetrable resistance. While it may feel as if you are already exerting your greatest effort, the greatest challenge is to be able to GENUINELY SURRENDER, release all outcomes and trust that the Universe has your back. On Today's Show... Possibly one of the greatest rewards of my surrender this year was the arrival of a new and significant friendship. My soul absolutely became aligned when I met my television co-host of Wake Up, Michelle Rivera. Within just an hour of our first encounter, it felt as if she was a missing piece of my puzzle. Michelle will be joining me in my home studio today!

Never in a million years did I expect this... While I am super ambitious, I'd been frustrated for years because it felt like my finish line kept getting moved. My dream of being a television talk show host was being dangled like a carrot in front of my nose, but always just out of my reach. I began to think my dream would never come true... So... I simply gave up. I was DONE. Tired of having hope, tired of working hard without results, tired of knocking on doors that never opened and tired of watching my life pass me by. I had no more joy in the journey... so I threw in the towel. AND THAT IS WHEN IT HAPPENED... Suddenly the creator/producer was calling me to book my flight for filming, contracts were signed and I was meeting my cast and crew... a group of people I had never met, but in the course of a mere weekend became like family to me. I had to pinch myself a few times to be sure it was REALLY HAPPENING! Often times the greatest rewards come only when we surrender. On Today's Show... I believe in you and want to help you in YOUR JOURNEY to your own finish line! I can't WAIT to share with you some pretty big epiphanies that I had while on set...things I wish I'd known while I was struggling to stay the course as well as the new emotional challenges that awaited once I got passed my "finish line". The journey never REALLY ends, does it? Joining me as our expert guest is the fabulous Marie Diamond, the famous Feng Shui expert from "The Secret" and world renowned transformation teacher! Marie Diamond is more than 24 years working in the field of spirituality, self development and leadership. After being a successful lawyer she started teaching people ancient eastern wisdom like meditation, Feng Shui and Dowsing.

Every generation thinks that they have it all figured out. Why then, are our twenty something kids struggling to become adults? It's easy to generalize an entire population by their collective Facebook statuses, but Millennials, often accused of being narcissistic and entitled do have to face some issues that previous generations did not. Rates of depression are soaring among Millennials Contrary to what you might hear the media say, the biggest problem with the era of instant gratification is not that they think too highly of themselves, it's that they struggle to think for themselves. A college degree is now the career equivalent of what a high school degree used to be, so the pressure on kids has been increased and this has made the job-search process even more competitive in a sluggish economy. Sorry, Moms and Dads. It's kinda our fault... We just wanted to protect our babies and give them the greatest childhood society had expected from us. However, the overinvolvement of helicopter parents has prevented our young adult children from learning conflict negotiation, growing from personal life disappointments, and having a tolerance for frustration. Everyone wants their life to have meaning... Even those twenty-somethings who are still living in the basement of their parent's homes... unemployed and seemingly unmotivated. Cozy up with your Millennial Child and Listen in! On Today's Show... ...I'll be interviewing the amazing Paul Angone, bestselling author, sought-after national keynote speaker, and one of the leading experts in the nation on the Millennial Generation! We'll be talking about: ❉ Tips and strategies for helping your adult kids to feel at home in their “groan up” pants. ❉ Statistics that will shock you about the challenges facing our Millennial children. ❉ Tips for effectively leading, engaging, and parenting Millennials ...that they’ll NEVER tell you. ❉ Why 97% of Millennials suffer from "The New OCD – Obsessive Comparison Disorder. What is it, why it’s so harmful, and how you cure it. ❉ 3 common reasons college graduates are failing to launch into the real world, and what parents, leaders and Millennials can do to help cushion the crash.

How to Rewire Your Mind No one ever said it was easy. In fact, those of us who have had success with it in some way will tell you it's one of the most difficult tasks to do, but the results are astounding. Imagine seeing your current reality from inside an alternate dimension. Everything looks the same, but it feels DIFFERENT. The perception is MORE CLEAR. Yeah--- It's kind of like... dare I say... playing in a fantasy world. Take yourself on a healing journey. Identifying your personal limiting beliefs and replacing them with empowering ones just might be the single most IMPACTFUL and powerful thing you can do to improve your life. According to the late Dr. Wayne Dyer, beloved author and spiritual leader, the trick is to open yourself up to all possibilities without being attached to the outcome. Sounds a little tricky, doesn't it? In essence, you can still allow yourself to DESIRE something that you don't have, but the power to receive it lies in your ability to be at peace with NOT HAVING IT. Yeah. Wrap your mind around THAT one. Anything you might FEAR will instantly lose it's power over you once you have made PEACE with it. On Today's Show... ...I'll be interviewing the Beautiful Serena Dyer, daughter of the great late Dr. Wayne Dyer! We'll be talking about the book that she co-wrote with her father, what it was like being the daughter of such a beloved leader, and how it's been applied to her new life as a young mother.

Learning the Power of our Souls There are moments in our lives that we just can't explain--- moments that seem a little TOO coincidental. However, most of us don't recall anything weird or unexplainable happening when we were young children. We were more accepting of the synchronicities. The term SYNCHRONICITY was coined by the late great Carl Jung. He defined it as a meaningful coincidence that had the effect of breaking through the “rationalistic shell” of the modern scientific mind. Raising Children with a Healthy and Spiritual Foundation My friend, as a parent you may be exploring or seeking your own spiritual path and your own truths. Whether you are well grounded in your own beliefs or you are in the process of trying to understand what you believe, it is never too early to explore spiritual ideas with your children. Remember, your children are also spiritual beings, having a human experiences just as you are. Psychic Sensitive Children We ALL feel that our children are special just because they belong to US...and children are naturally intuitive...but if you’re wondering whether YOUR child might be special due to psychic abilities, there are signs you can start paying attention to. On Today's Show... ...I'll be interviewing the AMAZING John Holland! John is an internationally renowned psychic medium, spiritual teacher, best selling author and Hay House Radio host who has devoted his entire adult life to the development of fine tuning his abilities as a professional medium and teaching his signature psychic development workshops to thousands of people all over the world. Tune in today to learn: ❀ How to recognize the signs that your child may be spiritually sensitive, intuitive or psychic. ❀ What to do if your child is displaying signs that they have heightened psychic ability ❀ How to you ensure that your psychic child has a balanced and "normal life" while still offering encouragement about his or her gifts.

Rejection is the mother of Reinvention. What if we were ALL courageous enough to tell the TRUTH about our beautifully imperfect selves, our messy mommy lives, and our complicated relationships with our money? What would that look like for YOU? Our truth feels dangerously VULNERABLE, but... Believe me when I say that coming to terms with YOUR real, raw and transparent TRUTH is about the most liberating thing you can do for yourself. The TRUTH that you are willing to discover about yourself can result in a massive and life-changing break-through. I can tell you for CERTAIN that every one of us struggles with a lack of confidence and self-worth. We have VERY convincing arguments with ourselves for why we believe that we are deeply flawed, fundamentally broken and undeserving of what we TRULY desire. The Path to Prosperity is lined with PROBITY. No one can ever accuse me of being a fraud. I've been criticized many times for OVER-SHARING especially during personal times of struggle ...but I have never held back putting it all out there. WHY? Because it would be a disservice to you and all other momleaders who are looking to be inspired. (It is also incredibly FREEING for me!) I hope that MY TRUTH has served as some relief to YOU and given you the freedom to flow with your own adversities. On Today's Show... Let's get NAKED. Let's be Brave, Bold and Bad-ass. Honor yourself with the time to ask the tough questions that I've listed below: ❀ What is at stake if you don't come to terms with your truth? ❀ What limiting beliefs about yourself do you get to hold onto if you decide to never question them? ❀ How does holding onto your story keep you repeating the same patterns of regret and disappointment? ❀ How does the same, familiar struggle keep you safe? Answer these questions for yourself to discover that NO unexpected or disappointing circumstance has power over you unless you allow it. Today I'll be interviewing the fabulous and successful mom entrepreneur, Sarah Walton! Sarah speaks around the nation, offers courses, products and workshops, all designed to inspire, ignite passion and to bring the power of femininity forward by taking better care of ourselves and learning to lean back just as often as we lean in.

What's it going to take--- to get you personally empowered? In seven years of broadcasting, I don't think I've ever gotten quite a response like the one I got after last week's episode. I shared a very candid experience with you about my personal struggle with depression, how acknowledging my illness was a part of my recovery (as well as my forgiveness of it) and how I am now able to powerfully own it as part of who I am. Speaking out about depression wasn't just cathartic for ME... it seems to have opened up a safe dialogue for so many who feel isolated and debilitated by this mental illness. Thank you for your letters, your bravery, and your willingness to keep this important discussion going. Together we will prevail. Now that we are in recovery, it's time to get back to our purposeful intentions. Once the fog clears, we may be able to see an inkling of the bright and beautiful dreams that we once had...but it's still accompanied by fear for so many of us. What if we drive ourselves to exhaustion...and never achieve what we most desire? How much love, happiness and abundance do any of us REALLY deserve? I don't know about you, but I WANT IT ALL. And I am SO OVER the struggle of getting it. We deserve the mass abundance. Haven't we killed ourselves enough already? As women, (in most cases) we are the glue that is holding together the lives of our families, and yet we STILL struggle with knowing our self-worth. If we are really under-valued and under-appreciated --- it's only because we have tolerated it for FAR. TOO. LONG. On Today's Show... Let's get in touch with our personal power. Today I'll be interviewing the fabulous Christy Whitman who teaches over-worked mom leaders (like you) how to NOT GIVE UP and thrive in your highest level of abundant potential...even when you are feeling most "trapped" in an unfulfilling life. Her unique methods have been highlighted in the New York Times, NBC TV, People Magazine and USA Today! Tune in today to learn: ❀ How to create REAL abundance ... even when everything up until now has been a struggle. ❀ How your beliefs could be limiting the amount of abundance you create, and – more importantly – how you can change your beliefs to create what you KNOW YOU DESERVE. ❀ Common beliefs that have been limiting women for centuries and why it's the perfect time for THIS generation of women to overcome and conquer them! ❀ How to believe that "having it all" is possible even after losing a job, going through a divorce, struggling for years to lose 25lbs, or searching for love...

Join us for a very special live broadcast... It's been four weeks since the last time I aired a live show for you. In seven years, I've never taken this long of a hiatus. The truth is... I needed some time to get help with the depression that I've been battling. Hows that for honesty? Since I "came out" as someone who has been battling depression, the private messages have been pouring in from others who have either been silently suffering with this illness or have watched a love one suffer. Many didn't realize depression was an actual illness that requires medical attention until they read the description of my experience. More people are affected than you may realize. You won't want to miss today's discussion if the conversations you have with yourself sound anything like mine did: "You can't be depressed, you have a wonderful life." "Depression is for those who are not as strong willed as you are. It's for the weak. You are too aware and SMART to be depressed." "You have nothing to be depressed about, so cheer up... do some affirmations, listen to some self development audios and get a grip." "You can't be depressed. Your children need you to be happy ...FOR THEM." If you or someone you know is suffering from this mental illness… I PROMISE YOU... today's show will not be ...DEPRESSING (pun intended)! On Today's Show... I will be discussing the following: ❀ _My own personal battle with depression ... and how my life was just recently saved._ ❀ The difference between sadness and depression and why you cannot manage them the same way. ❀ _What depression feels like and how to recognize if you or someone you love has been struck with this illness._ ❀ _How to forgive and acknowledge depression whether it belongs to you or a loved one._ ❀ _How to deal with it, not be afraid of it, and get THE RIGHT KIND OF help (even when nothing seems to be working)._ ❀ _How to know when medical intervention is necessary and why taking anti-depressants DOES NOT make a person weak._ I will be joined by a very special friend for the hour. Lisa Lamont has been teaching "Mirror Love" to thousands of women through a group she founded called Prancing Kittens. She has been a wonderful friend to me and so many others during some of the darkest times. Lisa will be joining us today to (mostly to hold MY hand) but also to give us deeply guided discussion on self love.
