Reset, Restore, Remember w/ Priyanka Venkataraman

Wayfinding Moms: Conscious Parenting, Cycle-Breaking, and Finding Your Inner CompassHost Amy Pons of Women Making Moves interviews Dr. Priyanka Venkataraman, a board-certified OBGYN, life and parent coach, and founder of Wayfinding Moms, about helping parents understand their nervous systems, break generational patterns, and build emotionally safe homes. They discuss “remembering” an inner truth center/inner compass, leaving mainstream career molds after breaking points, and how grief and discomfort can guide healing and course-correction. Dr. Priyanka describes conscious parenting as doing internal work to recognize triggers and projections from upbringing and ancestry, regulate the nervous system, and teach children emotional resilience and compassionate leadership rather than chasing quick behavior fixes. She shares creating “the village,” a monthly community gathering for women, and offering a 12-week group parenting program, and provides her website, wayfindingmoms.com, for calls and registration.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro02:02 Cycle Breaking and Lineage04:22 Remembering Your Path05:35 Inner Compass Wayfinding07:39 Magic School and Truth09:29 Parenting Without the Noise10:18 Truth Center and Alignment13:19 Grief and Course Correcting14:59 Feeling Triggers to Heal16:03 Ignoring the Body in Medicine17:38 Breaking Point and Surrender19:03 Ego After Leaving Work19:57 Remembering What Matters20:32 Earth School Talk With Kid22:59 Wayfinders And Matriarchy23:41 Building The Village26:01 Lighthouse Healing Paradigm27:46 Cycle Breaking And Boundaries34:41 Conscious Parenting Explained38:15 Schooling Choices And Values40:17 Where To Find WayfindingThank you for tuning in to Women Making Moves, be sure to rate and subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform and follow along on Instagram and Bluesky.
