Conscious Parenting: Elevate Your Parenting, Empower Your Child!

Welcome to a brand-new Family Edition of The Tony Robbins
Podcast! Join Tony Robbins, his wife Sage Robbins, and their dear
friend and podcast host turned surrogate, Mary B., for an
intimate, at-home conversation on the topic of CONSCIOUS
PARENTING.


In honor of Mother's Day 2024, Tony takes the interviewer's seat
and talks to both Sage and Mary about the principles, strategies,
tools, and learnings derived from their own journey as mothers.
This enlightening conversation transcends traditional notions of
parenting, as the trio explores the complexities of modern family
dynamics. From blended families, stepparents, same-sex
relationships, and co-parenting arrangements, Tony, Sage, and
Mary discuss tips for how to make it work on the evolving
landscape that is parenthood today.


One of the highlights of this conversation is their working
definition of MODERN CONSCIOUS PARENTING -- the shift from stress
and fear-based parenting to an empowering and integrative
awareness-based parenting. 


The family discuss the helpfulness of evolving from
high-resistance parenting towards a more mindful,
self-reflecting, and self-aware approach. By prioritizing both
presence and connection, they explain how parents can create an
environment that nurtures the growth of beautiful little human
beings – an inside out job. The three also emphasize the
significance of our language choices around children, advocating
for curiosity over fury and mindfulness over fear. They also
share personal anecdotes from their own experiences as parents,
highlighting the impact of screen and other stimulus on
children's emotional development, creativity, imagination and
worldview.


This episode offers invaluable insights for parents, prospective
parents, and anyone interested in creating meaningful connections
within their families. By embracing conscious parenting
practices, Tony, Sage, and Mary invite listeners to embark on a
journey of personal growth, self-discovery, and lasting harmony.


Join us as we explore the transformative power of intentional
parenting and discover how a slight shift in our focus can lead
to profound changes with children and within ourselves!
