Zen
Parenting Podcast
Welcome to our Zen Parenting Podcast. For over 10 years we've shared our life experiences and lessons as a parent, a spouse, and a fellow human. Every podcast episode is a reminder to wake up to our lives; to be ever more mindful, self-aware, and compassionate in how we parent and how we treat ourselves and others. We show up as our authentic selves and incorporate what we love—music, movies and humor—in our conversations about spiritual growth, emotional intelligence and compassion—to make our relationships around us more connected, and our world more compassionate. We hope you enjoy! ~Cathy and Todd Adams

Pink Floyd + Conscious Parenting#175
Mother do you think they’ll drop the bomb? That’s the first line in this epic song. We disect the lyrics and use it to help understand conscious parenting. Roger Water’s song points out we can have the best intentions when “protecting” our children, but if done with a lack of self-awareness, it can backfire.
