Episode 2: Sara Devoy's Alchemy of Parenting Journey.

Welcome to Flourishing Childhood’s Podcast: The Alchemy of Parenting: A Symbolic Journey. I am delighted to have you join us for this symbolic exploration. (Excuse my blocked sinuses in this episode)

This podcast is a tapestry of insights, woven threads of Aware Parenting and more conscious parenting paradigms, the language of symbols and much more. Together we’ll embark on a journey that transcends the ordinary, delving into the magical realm of parenting and growth.

Every episode is an alchemical blend, where we unlock the ancient wisdom within, transforming way we perceive parenthood and childhood. It’s about embracing the symbolism that surrounds us all and helps us move beyond trauma towards reconnection, starting before children and beyond. A symbol has a complex meaning, it is not only literal but also has additional meaning beyond the literal!

Join us as we decode the language that lies beneath the surface of daily parenting challenges and triumphs. Together we’ll learn to nurture awareness, foster deep connections, and create an environment where our children can truly flourish.

Becoming an aware Parenting instructor is a full circle moment for me as a Therapist, Mother and as the re-parenter of my Inner child self! I want to shout and jump for joy as this approach so beautifully validates us as human BEINGS. As a Craniosacral therapist and Mother and baby support  group facilitator as well as a guide for Pre and Perinatal themes, it is natural for me to offer Aware Parenting as a framework. Being a parent of three under five was one of the most confronting times of my life. These real life struggles are my true qualifications. as my children continue to be my very best teachers.  Aware parenting gave me the strength to 'stay' with the feelings and not try to fix, distract or avoid them and experiences that have enriched her own parenting journey.
