Happy Single Parent Day!

I have been a single mother for about eight years (really thirteen years if I include the time that the other parent worked away.)

I never expected or wanted to be a single mother. Even though it was forced on me, it was a decision I should have made myself long before. It ended up being the best for us. Daily life has been much easier and happier as a single parent family than it ever was while in that specific marriage. 

Once the shock settled in, it took some time freeing myself from the fear, pain, trauma and stigma caused by my strongly held beliefs about separation, divorce, and "broken" families. Beliefs and stereotypes about what is "best" for children, parents, society, and the world. Beliefs rooted in traditional, religious, cultural, family and economic systems. I had believed all those labels, statistics, negative associations and projected poor outcomes of single parent homes. But to my relief, and in my reality, I found they were simply not true.

I have different definitions now. I have different opinions about what really defines a family. And it may or may not be blood. Even the cliché, "Children NEED a father and a mother"? Not true. ALL children can thrive. Parented or orphaned. With both parents, with a single parent, with a grandparent, with a relative, with a foster parent, with a gay parent, with an adoptive parent, with LOVE. A single parent can also thrive.

Whether married or single, I wanted the best for my children. And I knew that in order to do the best for them, I had to take care of ME. I began the journey toward empowerment and that meant to let go of being a victim.

I have a different family now. It is not broken. My children do not come from a broken home. Our family is FIXED. It is stronger and peaceful. We are thriving. And all is well.

If you need help untangling a messy old painful belief system. If you need to recover from old relationships. If you need relief from suffering, and you are ready to let go of being a victim. If you want to stop using addictive things to numb your pain. Contact me. I use the most amazing techniques EVER to do these very things. Set yourself free. ❤️

RIP Kenny Rogers

🎶🎶 A few weeks ago, when we were singing along with The Gambler, I was telling my daughter about Kenny Rogers and that another era would soon be gone. I didn’t know how magnified that change would be. And in an even more dramatic context. But here we are.

On a massive scale, the internet (especially Facebook) brings forth collective sorrow and collective rejoicing. In truth, what it does, is actually solely about the individual. Although it seems like we are feeling emotions in regard to events outside of us, we are actually being triggered within ourselves.

Feeling sorrow after being triggered by a celebrity death is of no less value than sad feelings resulting from the death of a person we know. And vice versa. People AND emotional reactions are of equal importance and value. To some, it is just a celebrity – a person we don’t know. But to others, another death just hammers home the pain of a prior loss yet again. Or it can create a fear of loss in an individual. We don’t know how deeply a person has been triggered. Any loss can cause people to relive other losses or fear of loss. That is life. And death.

In the midst of grief, we can acknowledge that the contrast is what leads to expansion. We can reach for truth and peace, beyond negative emotions. We can focus on the good and happy in our reality. So remember to laugh. Remember to smile. Remember to sing. And remember to think about things that make you happy. And life will become brighter again. And soon, you will be rejoicing with the masses. And that is a very good thing. ❤️

The Truth of Who You Are Can Set You Free

I have the sort of mind that thrives on deep, authentic connections. “Kindred spirits” style, as coined by L.M. Montgomery (of Anne of Green Gables fame.)

Deep communication is one reason why my job is so perfect for me. Usually within minutes of meeting a new client, we naturally and easily go beyond any fake bullshit or illusions. We “go there”. We get real. We connect. We relate. We share. We get to the root of the problems. We quickly experience a connection based on truth. It has a depth to which most people don’t go. It is very positive and most freeing. And gets awesome results.

Pretty much every client has said to me, “I never told anyone that before.” And that inner turmoil is exactly what was holding down their pain!! Once they let go of that inner conflict, they feel such relief! And they get the success they desire.

The thing is, I already know, before going into this, the beautiful souls they actually are. Beyond how they might see themselves. Beyond fear. Beyond how they are painted by society, religion, family, circumstances, etc.

It’s so easy to go beyond any judgement when you see and love the soul. ❤️ It is an unconditional, unconscious knowing.

Here are some recent quotes from clients:

"As far as I can tell you’re an absolute bank vault. You’re an absolute pro and I felt really comfortable as soon as we got started."
Male client

"A bit apprehensive at first but you put me completely at ease from the beginning. Felt no judgment. Only a genuine want to help."
Female client

"It was a real privilege to work with Carol. She’s a genuinely kind and caring person. Carol went above and beyond my expectations with her knowledge and life experience. She brought compassion to every session.”
Female Client

Do you wake up in the night and can't sleep?

This is exactly the biological design! It happens when you are conflict active. Meaning, you have a problem that needs solving. The purpose is to give you the peace, quiet, solitude, and time to focus without distractions or other people, to resolve your conflict. Brilliant! Prevent waking up in the night by resolving or even downgrading your problems in the day. https://learninggnm.com Or book a Breakthrough with me, so I can help.

❤️ Just can’t stand the cuteness ❤️

Appreciating and taking delight in nature is so healthy and satisfying. I just love eye contact with animals.
