Voices of Parenting

What if the most powerful thing you can change in a difficult parenting moment isn’t your child’s behavior—but your own energy?
In this episode, Mussi sits down with Nurtured Heart coach and trainer Rivkie Brownstein, for a conversation about what they love most about the Nurtured Heart Approach. Together, they explore how our thoughts, fears, assumptions, and emotional state shape the way we respond to our children.
Through relatable stories and honest reflection, Mussi and Rivkie offer a powerful reminder: we can’t control our children, but we can pay attention to what we’re bringing into the moment. Sometimes the best thing we can do for our kids is put down our own emotional “baggage” first—and then come back with open hands and an open heart.

This is part 2 of our conversation last week with Yiska. Mussi invites Yiska to look beneath her anger and discover what’s fueling it: deep love, fierce protectiveness, and a powerful determination to give her child the best life possible. Together, they explore how the Nurtured Heart Approach can help us stop fearing our most intense emotions and instead harness their energy, uncovering the strength and greatness within them.

What happens when life feels so overwhelming that you wonder if the Nurtured Heart Approach is even working anymore?
In this deeply honest conversation, Mussi sits down with Yiska, a longtime Nurtured Heart practitioner navigating an extraordinarily difficult season of life. Together, they explore anger, conflicting emotions, surrender, and what it means to stay present when you simply don’t have the energy to “get it right.”
Through the lens of the Three Stands, they uncover a powerful reminder: struggling doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Sometimes Nurtured Heart isn’t about finding greatness right away—it’s about staying present, refusing to make a hard moment harder, and trusting that the reset will come.
A vulnerable conversation about giving ourselves permission to be human, lowering the bar of expectation, and simply reapplying the approach—again and again.

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.
