  Carrie Lingenfelter: We need to learn how to tune into our hearts, because there is so much parenting philosophies, there are so many parenting books and podcasts and all of these things out there online courses, there's amazing work out there, but every child is different.

  Carrie Lingenfelter: Every parent, every single parent plus every parent couple, if you have that situation are different, and so we really need to tune into our hearts, have our partner tune into their hearts and work together to find what is best for our kids.

• 1:19
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It's Keri, your friendly, intuitive mama here, and I'm so excited to connect with you today.
• 1:23
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We have a lot of changes that have been happening at Heart to Heart Parents.
• 1:28
  Carrie Lingenfelter: There's been a undercurrent of spiritual parenting that has really come into the mainstream of Heart to Heart Parents and we are now looking at changing our name it's going to be the spiritual parent instead of heart to heart parents, because I really want to put it out there so you guys can really understand what you're tuning in and listening to.
• 1:51
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So, for those of you who have followed along in this journey with us, I am so excited to transition into this new version.
• 1:59
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We're still going to have amazing, wonderful, deeply connected guests and still going to have bonus episodes, individual episodes with Carrie myself and I love sharing some of these journeys with you.
• 2:11
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So let me tell you a little bit about why I'm doing this.
• 2:15
  Carrie Lingenfelter: When I originally started Heart to Heart Parents, I wanted to connect with parents going through this journey of raising amazing, highly sensitive kids, but also all kids.
• 2:26
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Raising kids in itself can sometimes be a journey, and if you are a parent that is ready to open yourself up, to connect with yourself and heal and grow and learn in your parenting journey, then you are ready to be a spiritual parent and so, as I have continued on this journey, it's been about almost 18 months, plus the six months to a year that I worked before I started the podcast.
• 2:53
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So it's almost been about two and a half years now that I've been working on this journey myself and then also taking my husband on the journey too.
• 3:02
  Carrie Lingenfelter: One day I was looking at having a therapist for my kids.
• 3:06
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I was looking at this therapy center locally here that a psychologist had recommended and I think it's a really cool.
• 3:14
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Really cool not a spiritual center a really cool therapy center.
• 3:18
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And, as you know, I was a speech therapist, so I am an early intervention specialist with speech therapy.
• 3:25
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So I really had this background of evidence-based practice and we've done a lot of evidence-based practice for our kids.
• 3:32
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We've done things like OT and cognitive behavioral therapy for some kids area, as well as some therapies for myself and my husband to help us learn about how to support our kids.
• 3:45
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So I went to the center and they have OTs, slps, counselors, a lot of different staff on staff and I started to talk with them about what can you provide for my kids?
• 3:55
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And here's what my kids look like.
• 3:57
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And as I started to describe to them, the contact person I was talking to was like, okay, I don't know what we can do.
• 4:04
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Let me put you with my manager.
• 4:06
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I'm going to set up a meeting with the manager of the clinic because I don't know how we can help you.
• 4:10
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Okay, cool, all right.
• 4:11
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So I meet with them and I describe all these therapy approaches and things that we have done, and I described how my kids really hold it all in when they're outside in everyday environment and then as soon as they come home, they just open up and let it all out, and my husband and I are pretty much the only ones that ever see oh, and they're sibling each other are the only ones that ever see this side of them that really needs to connect with us and needs to connect with themselves in this spiritual journey.
• 4:43
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So as I was talking to the manager of this amazing clinic nearby, she was like, honestly, there's not much we can do left for you.
• 4:52
  Carrie Lingenfelter: You've done a lot of things, you've given them a lot of tools and there's not much we can do.
• 4:56
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And I was like, wow, that's interesting, but I'm still having some things I need help with.
• 5:01
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And you know, in that moment I turned into my heart and I understood it's time for some energy work, it's time for some spiritual shifts.
• 5:09
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It's time for Carrie to continue learning and growing and healing in her parenting journey, because they are the reflection of us.
• 5:18
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Right, if they're still having moments of challenges in them, they're reflecting to me that, hey, carrie, you're not enlightened yet.
• 5:28
  Carrie Lingenfelter: You're not a Cartoli.
• 5:30
  Carrie Lingenfelter: You've still got pieces of you.
• 5:32
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Even a Cartoli probably has pieces of him.
• 5:34
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Everybody, because we're living a human experience, has pieces of us that we can still work on in our hearts, in our intuitions, in our souls and spirits.
• 5:43
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So I have embarked in learning other tools.
• 5:48
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Reiki has been a huge helper for me and my son actually asks for Reiki at night now.
• 5:55
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It's amazing.
• 5:56
  Carrie Lingenfelter: He has to understand how it helps to ground him, how it helps to calm him, how it helps to release energy from the day and renew himself for the next day.
• 6:05
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So as we continue down this, I've really learned that I need to blossom into the spiritual side, because that has actually hands down.
• 6:15
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It has been the biggest changer in my kids' lives and guess what?
• 6:20
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It's not just my kids, it's been the biggest changer in my life and it's been the biggest changer in my husband's life.
• 6:26
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So, as I embark in starting to change the name of our podcast, we're now going to be the Spiritual Parent.
• 6:33
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I hope that you continue on this journey with me.
• 6:34
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We are now going to be talking about things.
• 6:35
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We I hope that you continue on this journey with me.
