Philipp’s Book🌐 https://www.holisticcircle.orgConnect with Samantha Santiago and explore her work:https://confidencefaith.com/Are We Raising Conscious Children? In this episode of the Holistic Circle Podcast, Philipp Kobald welcomes back Samantha Santiago, founder of Confidence Faith, for a deep and honest conversation about Spiritual Parenting & Modern Society, and the concept of the “higher self”.What happens to a child’s creativity and openness as they grow up?Is balance enough, or should we aim for something higher?And how do emotional imprints shape the next generation?Together, Philipp and Samantha explore spiritual identity, organized faith, inner harmony, capitalism, love as energy, and the responsibility parents carry, not through perfection, but through awareness.🔑 Key TakeawaysChildren absorb far more from our actions than our words. Emotional imprinting shapes their worldview.The concept of the “higher self” is about harmony, selflessness, and inner alignment.Balance may feel safe, but growth often requires conscious intention.Spiritual parenting begins with self-reflection, before trying to shape a child.Curiosity is one of the most powerful spiritual tools we can preserve in children.Modern society often compresses creativity, but it can be intentionally cultivated at home.Community, hosting, nature, and timeless practices help ground children in real connection.💬 QuotesSamantha Santiago:“If everything is energy, and energy cannot be created or destroyed, then love is the force holding everything together.”Philipp Kobald:“Children copy us far more deeply than we dare to admit, and that realization should humble every parent.”👤 About the GuestSamantha Santiago is the founder of Confidence Faith, an organization dedicated to helping individuals and families explore self-awareness, spiritual growth, and conscious living.Her work focuses on love as a transformative force — both personally and collectively — and she is the author of a book centered on raising spiritually conscious families.
