S2E5 - Mindful Parenting

Meet Julie Womack: [email protected] Julie is a mother and grandmother of one beautiful adult daughter and three precious grandsons, ages 3, 6, and 13. She became a single parent when her daughter was about 3. If it weren’t for her family, particularly her mom She was not sure how her daughter would’ve turned out. Other than having divorced parents her upbringing was full of love with no real drama. She was born and raised in Hawaii. Had 2 wonderful hard-working parents, 4 siblings and grew up in the 60’s. It was a wonderful time. When she was little, she always felt different. She never really excelled in school and went through the motions of trying to be a good student. She never really had any ambition for herself. She was a dreamer but not very ambitious. Instead she was more interested in what her friends were going through and the feelings they carried with them. It’s clear to her today that being the supporting, nurturing figure has always been important to her even as a little girl. So now as she has her own life experiences, she finds herself wanting to relate and help others struggling through their adversities. A big part of that is why she started Mindful Moms. She wants to take her personal mom experience and share what she did to break down the stories we create in our heads and how to deal with it while staying fulfilled. Most recently, an unfortunate incident led her to a path of deep personal growth. She dabbled in the personal growth arena before but now more importantly she is implementing and practicing it to create real change in her life. Since being retired and on her own she now has the time to rediscover who she truly is and what is possible. She lives a very simple life, but she loves going to the beach. The water is very healing, and she loves being out in nature. She also likes to bake and love shopping for little gifts that remind her of special people in her life. She also loves sending out handwritten notes. For her it’s a way of sharing her love and energy with people in her life that she doesn’t always get to be with. Julie’s quote to herself: “Awareness is the key to how I want to be.” Coming Soon: Defying Death: Living an Empowered Life with Multiple Disabilities By Darian Slayton Fleming Order a copy of Darian’s book in paperback or on Kindle: Speak Up for Yourself: Get What You Need and Feel Good About It: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Speak+Up+For+Yourself%3A+Get+What+You+Need+and+Feel+Good+About+It&i=stripbooks&crid=1TGVTFEBCG839&sprefix=speak+up+for+yourself+get+what+you+need+and+feel+good+about+it%2Cstripbooks%2C164&ref=nb_sb_noss To learn more about Darian Slayton Fleming go to: https://dsflemingcc.com Notes go here Find out more at https://get-what-you-need-and-feel-goo.pinecast.co Send us your feedback online: https://pinecast.com/feedback/get-what-you-need-and-feel-goo/fa369b16-9b18-4c4c-9199-1b7ada8c1e05Read transcript
