The Inner Work Podcast

In this episode, Mat & Ash open up about raising their son with consciousness at the forefront, seeing him as a sovereign soul and treating him with the same respect they would give a fully grown adult. Drawing on their backgrounds in early childhood and elementary education, Mat & Ash walk through the conscious, gentle parenting strategies they use every day for toddler tantrums and big emotions. They also explain how your child’s behavior so often mirrors the triggers you have yet to heal. In this episode, Mat & Ash share: How they approach conscious parenting by honoring their child as an eternal soul and an individual with his own sovereignty. Why conscious parenting depends on doing your own inner work first, and how parenting triggers reveal the unhealed wounds from your own childhood. How children absorb their parents’ stress and anger as their own fault, and what it takes to break generational cycles and become the first in your family line to parent with self-awareness. The ego trap of seeking validation from your child, and what unconditional love looks like when you expect nothing in return. Their hope for a lifelong friendship with their son, and what the rise of adult children going no contact says about relationships that were never repaired. Practical toddler strategies for tantrums and power struggles, including offering choices, giving transition warnings, explaining the reason behind each decision and walking your child through what comes next. What to do when you get triggered: asking whether the moment is about your ego or a simple misunderstanding, and repairing with an honest apology when you lose your patience. How playfulness and a connection to your own inner child make you a more present parent. How prioritizing your own happiness and dreams models self-worth for your children, and how self-sacrifice so often turns into resentment. How becoming parents tested their marriage and called for a deep surrender of the ego, along with their compassion for every parent doing this work. Tune in for an honest conversation about conscious parenting and inner child healing. It’s full of encouragement for any parent ready to break old patterns and raise their children from a place of love and self-awareness.
