Voices of Parenting

What happens when two people stop trying to sound like the experts and simply show up as humans?
In this deeply honest conversation, Mussi sits down with Marcie Towle to pull back the curtain on what it really looks like to live the Nurtured Heart Approach—not perfectly, but authentically. They talk about messy parenting moments, the power of community, why connection matters even when we're not in crisis, and how returning to ourselves is often the first step toward showing up for others.
This episode isn't about having all the answers. It's about giving ourselves permission to be imperfect, to reset, and to remember that inner wealth is built one real moment at a time. If you've ever felt like everyone else has it together except you, this conversation is a refreshing reminder that vulnerability isn't a weakness—it's where true connection begins.

What if lasting change doesn't come from shame or punishment—but from knowing there's nothing fundamentally wrong with you?
In this thought-provoking conversation, Mussi and Coach Abe explore the deeper message of the Nurtured Heart Approach: separating a person's worth from their behavior. They discuss why shame keeps us stuck, how inner worth creates lasting transformation, and what it means to become "unshakable" in parenting, relationships, and everyday life.
If you've ever wondered how to hold boundaries while staying deeply connected, this episode offers a powerful new perspective.

In this episode, we welcome back Yocheved Rottenberg — author, IFS therapist, Nurtured Heart Approach trainer, and therapeutic writing facilitator — for a deeply meaningful conversation about healing, inner child work, and reconnecting with the parts of ourselves we may have lost along the way.
Yocheved shares how her work blends therapeutic writing with the Nurtured Heart Approach to help people honor their pain, process their experiences, and move beyond simply understanding their past. Through this powerful approach, we can begin to recognize the resilience, courage, and unique strengths that were present all along.
Together, we explore the journey of meeting our younger selves with compassion, seeing the greatness that existed even in moments of struggle, and learning how our hardest experiences can reveal the incredible person we have become.
A heartfelt conversation about healing, self-discovery, and finding the spark within that was never truly gone.

What if the greatest harm isn't the broken rule—but the story we attach to it? In this episode, Mussi and returning guest Freddy Mendoza explore how shame, blame, and negative narratives shape our relationships far more than rules or consequences ever could. Through thoughtful stories and practical examples, they discuss what it means to replace punishment with teaching, criticism with curiosity, and judgment with connection. From the "recalculating" wisdom of a GPS to real-life parenting moments, this conversation offers a hopeful, practical framework for raising children—and relating to ourselves and others—with greater trust, clarity, and compassion.
