You know how to ask for help and how to surrender on a deeper level. We learn as we go, and the same goes for being a mom of teenagers.”● “Having clear boundaries and expectations is so healthy for our children. They want to know what the bounds are and what's out of bounds because that gives them a framework to push against—because that's what kids do.”● “It's really important to track where your child is in their learning journey. We want our kids to love learning and be engaged with the world.”Timestamps:[00:03] Reflections on Parenting Challenges in 2024[05:23] Balancing Independence and Support for Teenagers[09:05] Insights into Diverse Educational Approaches for Kids[16:12] Navigating Teenage Social Dynamics and School Life[17:43] How Good Manners Help Kids Build Strong Connections[20:48] Aligning Personal Values with Kids’ Educational Needs[24:38] Flexibility and Adaptation as Keys to Better Parenting[24:57] Why Community Support Matters in Raising Children[25:32] Teaching Kids Respect and Manners[25:51] Staying Open to Fresh Ideas in Parenting StrategiesConclusion:Parenthood is a constantly evolving experience that calls for flexibility and a readiness to adjust as needed.

There has never been a moment in time where more Ascended Masters are incarnated on planet Earth.”● “I have a very pronounced skeptic brain, and I've decided not to alienate it in my journey—just to allow it to be there.”● “I was scared about my health. I had something so radical happen in my body, and as a borderline hypochondriac who's always on edge for what could possibly be wrong, it really got my attention.”Timestamps:[00:00] Introducing Paden Hughes[02:08] Paden’s Tool for Clearing Energy and Spiritual Awakening[04:50] Channeling 144 Charts for Spiritual Growth[09:57] Spirit Teams and the Path to Ascension[14:38] Personal Healing Through Past Lives and Ancestry[19:15] Writing from Pain to Heal and Connect with Readers[23:44] Balancing Motherhood with Personal Growth[28:01] The Bridge Generation and Their Spiritual Role[34:40] Manifesting Abundance and Believing in Flow[45:31] Personality Insights and Collaborative Teaching Methods[50:57] Live Course Details and Teaching Format Explained[01:11:10] Closing ThoughtsConclusion:Spiritual awakening is a powerful process that requires guidance, making the need for more mentors even more crucial as more people experience this transformation. Connecting with one's intuition and spirit guides can provide valuable insights and direction during this journey. Additionally, clearing ancestral and karmic patterns plays a key role in personal growth, helping individuals move past limiting beliefs. With the right support and practices, people can navigate this path to greater self-awareness and fulfillment. Paden Hughes Guest Links:Paden is an intuitive life coach, energy healer, best-selling author, and founder of Liberated Lightworker, a channeled system for clearing karma and dense energies. She is also the host of her own podcast called 100% Woo Podcast. She has helped dozens of high powered, burned out career women step out of hustle and embrace a life of liberation and flow. Paden has worked with over 100 CEO’s, founders, influencers and professionals looking to optimize their performance by going beyond conventional, patriarchal wisdom and tap into their intuition and psychic gifts.After working with 7-9 figure business leaders in her 20’s as a business consultant, and then growing her own business (Gymnazo) to 7 figures by the age of 30, Paden face planted in her kitchen from chronic stress. The combination of running businesses and being a “good enough” mom to two kids under 4 was too much for her body to handle. And it got her attention by collapsing. This put her on a new trajectory of spiritual awakening and she started to take two hours a day to walk in nature and heal her higher performing, people pleaser, boss bitch masking. Slowly she started to remember who she was and who she came here to be, which turned out to be less about business and far more about magic.Spirituality was the missing link. Remembering the transformative power of feminine intuition and going back into her Celtic ancestral roots to unlock the gifts she was taught as a pastor’s kid to doubt. Paden is now dedicated to helping women remember their inner wise woman and teaches how to use intuition and tools like pendulums to unlock magic in our lives and businesses.Website: https://padenhughes.com/Link to book - https://padenhughes.com/mybookWaitlist for Liberated Lightworker https://padenhughes.myflodesk.com/liberated-lightworkerLink to Sedona soul adventure - https://sedonasouladventures.com/Link to book a Karmic Clearing session from me personally: https://calendly.com/paden-hughes/srt-karmic-clearingpadenhughes.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/padenhughes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/padenhughes/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/padenhughes/Take Two: How a Simple Daily Habit Increased My Health, Wealth and Happiness: https://www.amazon.com/Take-Two-Simple-Increased-Happiness/dp/195704831X McLean McGown is a Motherhood Coach, Postpartum Doula, Miscarriage and Loss Doula, Birth Advocate, Lactation Educator Counselor, Certified Nutritionist, Yoga/Pilates Teacher, Reiki and Hypnosis Practitioner, Sound Bath and Frequency Guide.

In this episode of Mother the Mother, McLean McGown explores the struggles and triumphs of embracing a multifaceted life as a woman, mother, and entrepreneur. Do you feel torn between your diverse passions and society’s pressure to specialize? McLean shares her own journey of weaving together roles in yoga, nutrition, doula work, and hypnosis, proving that a rich and authentic life defies traditional labels.At the core of her message is the importance of nervous system regulation and redefining freedom. McLean reminds us that true success isn’t just financial—it’s addressing the deeper challenges that keep us stuck in fear or indecision. She offers practical insights to help you step out of analysis paralysis and create a life that honors your talents and values. Through embodiment, clear communication, and seeing children as our greatest teachers, McLean inspires listeners to lead with intention and embrace their unique paths with confidence.Quotes:● “Everything that I do, teach, share, and support is based on your autonomy—your freedom to show up how you want to show up.” ● “If we're just a shell of ourselves, barely getting by, scraping through each day, not loving our lives, not feeling happy, content, or safe in our marriages and relationships, not being the mom we always dreamed of being, if we're yelling, feeling like a raw nerve, ready to blow up if one more thing happens—if we aren't nurturing ourselves, it spills out into everything.” ● “Our children are our greatest teachers, not just for the unique lessons they bring to us, which they do. It's also the opportunity to explore parts of ourselves that we haven't yet, that we didn't make space for, and possibly didn't even know were there.”Timestamps:[00:02] Balancing Multiple Roles While Defining Your Path[03:34] Exploring the Continuum of Womanhood and Growth[05:44] Why Nervous System Health Shapes True Fulfillment[09:58] Achieving Financial Freedom Without Sacrificing Family[10:18] Personalized Coaching as a Path to Deeper Healing[13:06] How Couples Build Stronger Family Foundations[17:18] Embodiment Practices for Sustainable Healing[19:52] Lessons Children Teach Us About Growth and Change[21:32] Viewing Life Transitions Through a Positive Lens[23:22] Reaching Out and Embracing New OpportunitiesConclusion:Providing holistic and personalized support is essential for women as they go through the many transitions of life, from motherhood to perimenopause and beyond.

In today’s episode, McLean is joined by Kenzie Burke as they dive into Kenzie's journey of awakening and rebirth. Based in Malibu, California, Kenzie Burke is the founder of BRÛLÉ; a clothing line whose namesake stems from its definitional association with fire. For founder and designer Kenzie Burke, fire is the impetus from which artistry springs forth. After gaining acclaim in the health and wellness space, Kenzie burnt it down to launch her lifelong passion: a clothing line focused on bringing lasting taste into fashion. BRÛLÉ is where life emerges from ashes. Kenzie previously managed a wellness social media account and created a podcast with more than 600,000 downloads. She also produced three health and wellness books and a superfood line of biodynamic coffee and cacao. However, in 2021, she disengaged from wellness and focused solely on fashion. McLean was inspired by Kenzie’s pivot and wanted to have her on the show to be an authentic example of how to support yourself through massive change. Kenzie shares how and why she had to drop everything and what it felt like to deeply surrender in order to get back up and rebuild herself again.
