Sometimes Love Isn’t Enough: The Parenting Through Challenges Podcast

In this rich and reflective conversation, I’m joined by Kathy Bailey—a writer, mother, emotional wellness advocate, and fierce believer in the healing power of storytelling. With decades of lived experience in parenting, self-awareness, and relationship repair, Kathy brings her deep understanding of human behavior and healing into every word she writes—and shares. We explore: How storytelling becomes a tool for emotional wellness and generational healing The raw, unpolished reality of rebuilding relationships after rupture Why lived experience can sometimes offer more wisdom than formal training The power of creative expression—from children’s books to contemporary fiction—as a healing force Kathy’s words are a reminder that we don’t have to have it all figured out to show up with love, humility, and honesty. Her insights speak to anyone who’s ever struggled to connect—and found their way back through self-awareness, vulnerability, and a willingness to keep trying. 🎧 This episode is for the cycle-breakers, the writers, the feelers—and anyone who believes in the redemptive power of truth-telling. About Kathy Bailey Kathy Bailey is a writer, mother, and emotional wellness supporter who connects deeply with those on a healing journey. She writes stories that explore human behavior, relationship dynamics, emotional intelligence, and the courageous work of becoming self-aware. Her work ranges from psychological thrillers to whimsical children’s books and contemporary fiction. For over forty years, Kathy has studied how people connect, why they disconnect, and how they heal. Her passion for understanding human behavior began long before it was trendy and has been shaped by therapy, hundreds of books and podcasts, and decades of work toward personal growth. As a mom and stepmom, she has walked through seasons of closeness and distance, and done the hard work of rebuilding connection with honesty, humility, and heart. Her lived experience, not formal degrees, is what gives her writing such resonance. She has been in the ring of life, learning to love well, take responsibility, and heal what was broken. That perspective grounds her belief that love, when paired with self-awareness and healthy boundaries, has the power to heal people, families, and entire communities. Kathy’s current projects include a contemporary women’s novel, a whimsical illustrated children’s series, and a parenting guide, all set to release in 2025 and early 2026. When she is not writing, you can find her riding bikes, sipping strong coffee with friends, laughing daily, and cooking up something delicious for the people she loves. She is also a notary and wedding officiant because she loves weddings and she loves love. Follow Kathy on Instagram and TikTok @author_kathydbailey, and on Facebook at Kathy Bailey.

In this heart-centered conversation, I’m joined by Amber Plant—educator, coach, and fellow cycle-breaker—who brings compassion and clarity to the often invisible work of shifting the way we parent, think, and show up. We talk about: The deep-rooted programming that shows up in our parenting How Amber’s journey with reparenting herself changed the way she parents her kids Why it’s not about being the perfect parent—it’s about being present and willing to grow Tools and truths to help you shift your narrative without shame Amber’s story is full of honesty, wisdom, and encouragement for any parent who’s tired of surviving and ready to lead from connection, not control. 🎧 This episode is your reminder that you can rewrite your story—and you don’t have to do it alone. About Amber Plant:  Amber Plant was a high-achieving business owner and corporate marketer running on autopilot until trauma forced her to hit pause. Corporate burnout and childbirth trauma led her to ask herself, for the first time, "Who am I living for?" Over the next three years, she healed, discovered what she truly wanted, and learned how to intimately connect with her intuition and true self.  After years of building other people's dreams, Amber felt called to take a chance on her own. Her healing journey became the catalyst for Rebrand Your Life, a podcast platform and group coaching container that supports women who have checked all the boxes yet feel that their personal lives, careers, relationships, and routines no longer work for them. Amber's life mission is to help women reclaim their purpose by guiding them back to their connection with their soul, also known as intuition, which provides divine direction for every intimate detail of their lives. Once they learn how to tap into their intuitive power, they can partner with the universe and manifest a life aligned with who they want to become. She guides women in developing their intuition, breaking the cycle of self-betrayal, redefining success, and trusting their inner guidance as the bridge to profound self-acceptance and soul-led transformation.

In this episode, I’m joined by Michelle Payne — a thoughtful, insightful guide who helps people navigate the messy, beautiful work of becoming more self-aware so they can show up differently for themselves and their families. We talk about: ✨ How self-awareness is the foundation of breaking generational patterns ✨ Why noticing your triggers is more powerful than trying to “fix” yourself ✨ The permission to grow at your own pace — and let your kids witness it ✨ How small shifts in your awareness ripple into big changes in your relationships Michelle brings a calm clarity to the conversation, reminding us that we can’t change what we won’t name — but naming it is enough to start. 🎧 Tune in to feel seen, encouraged, and reminded that you’re already doing the work. About your Guest Michelle Payne: I’ve always been fascinated by how we love, live, lead, and how we carry pain. Our stories hold deep wisdom, and every challenge shapes who we’re here to become. Now, in my 50s, I work with women who hold everything: the family, the business, the team. I see how easily we shrink to fit invisible moulds. I also see how powerful we become when we remember who we are. You are not broken. You are not stuck. You are simply ready for something more. That’s where I come in. ​My work is about helping you rebuild your self-trust, to recognise the outdated beliefs that have been holding you back and providing you with the tools to embrace the truth of who you are without the masks and labels. The 6 STEPS TO EMBODIMENT ™️ was created for you as a framework to give practical support when navigating through your daily life, both professionally and personally. These 6 powerful steps will expand your awareness and allow you to discover a resolution to any situation. This unique methodology has guided many women through the process of recognising and acknowledging the truth of where they’re currently at, creating exciting opportunities to embrace their authentic self and reveal once and for all, their own uniqueness. These 6 steps are fondly known amongst our Embodied Life community as RAARER : R - recognise A - acknowledge A - accept R - resolve E - embrace R - reveal Alongside RAARER I weave in my PLEASURE MAP ™️, encouraging women to dive even deeper into their stories & unconscious beliefs about Intimacy, Sexuality, Playfulness & Pleasure. You don’t need more pressure. It’s presence, space and a new perspective that your body and soul is craving. This is the foundation of everything I offer. And it starts with you. The ones holding the energy, the family, the team. My work is about helping you come back to yourself. You don’t need more productivity hacks. You need presence. Perspective. Self-trust. I use embodiment to help you release what no longer fits, rebuild your confidence, and lead a life that feels fully yours, in your relationships, work, parenting, and purpose. ​Michelle Payne - Embodied Woman Coach Leading women to reveal their truth & embrace their full potential 💖 Live an Extraordinary Life 🔥 Cultivate Confidence & Certainty ✨ Create Sacred Connections 0408 952 775  Connect with Michelle HERE: https://www.facebook.com/michellepayne.embodiedlife  https://www.anembodiedlife.com.au/ 💖💖💖 About your host, Angie Grandt – Generational Healing Specialist Grab your personalized Human Design Chart here: https://www.angiegrandt.com/ (just scroll to the bottom of the page!!)
