Exceptional Parents, Extraordinary Challenges

Have you ever felt like life's transitions could actually be the key to a more unified, whole version of yourself? Angie Shockley and I, Dave Gold, are back with the podcast that dives deep into the heart of exceptional parenting and the extraordinary challenges that come with it. We're peeling back the layers of our own life stories, revealing how Angie's blend of professional skills and shamanic practices, alongside my unique insights, have created a tapestry of healing and transformation that we're thrilled to share with you.

This episode isn't just about our revelations, though; it's about you embracing your own story with self-acceptance and love. Together, we unravel the thorny barriers that hold us back and celebrate the innate strengths within us all. As Angie shares her wisdom on guiding others to their best selves and I bring forth the mutual learning that blooms from these encounters, we hope to inspire a profound shift in how you perceive perfection within yourself and others. It's a heartfelt exchange that promises to enrich your personal and professional relationships.

As we wind down our conversation, we confront the liberating power of surrender and acceptance. By pausing amidst life's dramas, we've both discovered a tranquility that leads to trust in something greater than ourselves, paving the way for a journey aligned with authenticity. No episode would be complete without acknowledging the support system that's been our backbone – the mutual gratitude between Angie and me, and the excitement for our upcoming guests. It's all here, in a shared space where discussion, growth, and gratitude collide, guiding us toward navigating this extraordinary life together.

We reflect on the emotional and psychological impact of his experience, scrutinizing the strategies he employed and the challenges he faced. 

This episode concludes on a somber note, highlighting the importance of having a safe haven during tough times, and the transformative power of mindfulness and surrendering to the present. Through Dave's journey, we get a glimpse into the struggles and victories of parenting, reminding us that love and grace always prevail. This is not just about parenting; it's about life, resilience, and the power of choices. Join us on this emotional rollercoaster as we spotlight the true essence of being a parent.

About your hosts:
Angie Shockley is a Certified Shamanic Practitioner, Coach, and Owner of young adult transitional living programs. She brings 30+ years of experience working with teens, young adults and their families, as well as individuals.  She has developed a strong intuitive ability to see the underlying issues and provide avenues for positive change and growth.

Angie has found that most people, regardless of age, lack the ability and vision to see past challenges in their lives. They operate from limiting beliefs which have formed through their lives, from their genetic lineages (DNA), environmental influences, trauma responses, or relationships. She has the unique ability of shining a light on the shadows, helping people gain awareness and build skills to step back into their lives with more flow, confidence, and happiness.

Dave Gold’s 45 years as a businessman, trial lawyer, executive consultant, and spiritual mentor have given him the unique power to immediately “See” both the single biggest obstacle and deepest dreams in all those whom he mentors and befriends.

Join us as we talk with Mindy Goodman.  Mindy is a parent, Educational Consultant and Parent Coach.  Mindy has a ton of experience working with families, and she also has some great parenting background raising her kids.  https://www.newchaptersconsulting.com
mindy@newchaptersconsulting.com
Mindy offers up some very great advice.  Here are the 5 takeaways from the show:
1. Forgive yourself for being human
2. For a challenging child who is emotionally and socially delayed, keep them in school until age 21 if possible.
3. While living at home, boundaries and structure are critical.  “Job, school, volunteer - pick one” was her rule
4. Is it a “you” issue or a “them” issue?  Manage your expectations as a parent and meet your kid where he/she/they are rather than putting your generalized expectations on a child who will not benefit from what you perceive as “the right path”
5. Respond not react (stay out of the unholy trinity)

Join Angie and Dave as they talk with Jessica Bennett, mother of two amazing kids and how she has navigated parenting kids, one with exceptional challenges and one with a strong personality,  As parents, it is natural to have goals for our children - we want them to be happy, healthy, and successful. However, it is important for parents to remember that our children are their own individuals, with their own strengths, interests, and goals. It is not our job to shape them into a particular version of "success," but rather to support and encourage them to follow their own path. Letting go of our own goals for our children can be difficult, but it is an important step in allowing them to find their own way and become their best selves. This can involve letting go of certain expectations and being open to the possibility that our children may choose a different path than what we had originally envisioned.

Reach out to Jessica.  jessieripper@gmail.com
