Intentional Parenting with Arlene Wallace
Join Author and Parent Advocate Arlene Wallace for this illuminating six-part series on Intentional Parenting. Arlene boldly shares the challenges she faced and mistakes she made on her journey of parenting her son Noah, now 23. As a passionate Parent Advocate, Arlene invites all parents to cultivate self-care and self-awareness, build a strong team around you, and to honestly manage expectations, both of yourself and your child. Join Arlene, my Co-Host Lisa Berry, and me on this journey of parenting with intention.
Episode 3: Pressures on a Parent: Managing Expectations
Parenting, as all people with children can tell you, is a whole different world. For starters, expectations change: expectations placed on a parent by society, expectations naturally occurring from the child, as well as a parent's expectations of themselves. There can be a lot to juggle.
This is especially true for a single parent. While this series applies to and is intended for all parents--single or otherwise--it cannot be denied that a single parent's situation can pose some unique challenges.
Take Arlene for example. When her son Noah was born, she was young and unprepared for parenting. She had never had a vision of being a parent, much less a single parent. Tune in to find out how Arlene dealt with the pressures and managed expectations.
Parenting is certainly a balancing act. There can be, for example, a fine line between letting a child take his or her own lumps and reaching out to offer a blanket of protection. Arlene walks us through her life with Noah and shares what didn't work--and what did.

Episode 2: Constant and Continual Dialogue in Word and Deed
Communication is key. In any relationship, it matters not only what you say but what you do, how you act and behave. Others are always paying attention. Parents: your children are always paying attention.
In parenting, good communication is critical. A parent needs to communicate many things: love, trust, and boundaries to name a few. Without clear expectations and the conveying of love and support, all parties can flounder. For a child, many issues can arise. Performance in school can drop; social anxiety can escalate. An intentional parent knows that communication is multi-faceted.
Join us for this episode of Intentional Parenting with Arlene Wallace and learn about the importance of an ongoing dialogue in a parent/child relationship. Arlene reminds us that love is in fact a language, and parenting is "a constant and continual dialogue in word and deed."
Arlene encourages all parents to learn from the mistakes she made and be certain to build a proper team around you and your child, a support network, the proverbial "village."

Intentional Parenting with Arlene Wallace
Join Author and Parent Advocate Arlene Wallace for this illuminating six-part series on Intentional Parenting.

As a passionate Parent Advocate, Arlene invites all parents to cultivate self-care and self-awareness, build a strong team around you, and to honestly manage expectations, both of yourself and your child. Join Arlene, my Co-Host Lisa Berry, and me on this journey of parenting with intention.
Episode 1: The Importance of Self-Awareness
The importance of self-awareness cannot be overstated. This is true in any context, particularly in parenting. A parent that is not self-aware can make all kinds of mistakes, from showing up as overbearing to being neglectful to all things in between.
As a young, single parent, Arlene found herself not prepared for the rigors and the challenges. In this episode, she openly shares some of the mistakes she made early on. Arlene reminds us that parenting is in fact a journey and these challenges can pop up for anyone, hence the importance of self-awareness.
With a strong connection to yourself, you as a parent will be better able to connect to your child. This involves deliberate effort on your part, the application of intention. A person--parent or otherwise--who does not know themselves will flail and meander through life inconsistently at best, at worst destructive to themselves and others.
Arlene encapsulates this episode with one of her favorite sayings: "If you don't know who you are, how can you expect others to understand you?"

Sit in the Mud, Feel Everything.
These are two wonderful invitations from today's guest Hafeez Sumani. As an agent of transformation and a Lightworker, Hafeez knows all about the messy and not-so-pleasant moments on any spiritual journey. We all know they cannot be avoided if one is to truly evolve.
On this fascinating episode of Decide to Transform, Hafeez shares with us his story. As an athlete, an injury ended Hafeez's journey of attempting to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics. This kick-started a process of growth and transformation that is still evolving.
Today, Hafeez helps people journey into the darkness, into the unpleasant parts about ourselves that we must forgive and release to bring about real change. There is no substitute for sitting in the mud, as he so eloquently puts it, and actively working on our transformation. Putting in this work involves feeling everything, as many Buddhists say "taking everything into the Path." Unpleasant experiences keep appearing for a reason: they are begging to be released.
Hafeez encourages all of us to take full ownership of our lives and accept that if we truly want happiness, we have to start within.
---
Hafeez Sumani, The Urban "G" Lightworker Alchemist, is an inspirational catalyst, coach, energy healer and explorer of consciousness. He works with men and women who are yearning for a deeper and richer life with more LOVE and CONNECTION.
We are MORE than just our physical body and through radical acceptance, compassion, and awareness we reclaim our inner power. We have learned to suppress and bury our emotions and through energy healing and inner alchemy we can learn to confront it in a safe, healthy, and loving space.
We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are.

Join me for a very special episode of Decide to Transform as I welcome Philip Jacobs of Toronto Sound Therapy. Tune in as Philip plays two recorded tracks and one live song right here on the show!
It is well-known that music can have many healing effects, but we rarely stop to think about how pervasive and how all-encompassing this impact can be. If we pay attention to it, sound can heal us completely, from the inside out. It has the power to transform us.
Sound magnifies intention. So, what intention are you putting out there?
Sound has the power to break through our determined psychological resistance to change and transformation. Sometimes, it gets through when nothing else can. Sound allows us to "get past the gatekeepers" that reject healing and transformation in the interest of keeping us "safe," that is the same. Sound and music are powerful and universal; the gatekeepers cannot resist.
Again, please join us as Philip graciously demonstrates the healing capacity of sound. He invites you to be kind to yourself and go deeper, to attune to your own inner wisdom to facilitate self-healing.

Please enjoy the tracks played and performed on today's show:

The idea of hypnosis conjures up all kinds of images. If you have never experienced it before, you may wonder how it works, or you may fear to experience what it shows you. Everyone hesitates to reveal the deep stuff, because then we have to deal with it.
What if healing could come about quickly, however? What if you could get into your heart at High Speed and involve yourself in a fast-moving process that helped you clear the emotional cobwebs and unearth everything you have so far feared to deal with, bringing rapid healing? What then?
Join my special guest Desiree Holmes Scherini and me on this episode of Decide to Transform for an in-depth look at the art and benefit of hypnotherapy. Desiree is an award-winning Board Certified Clinical Transpersonal Hypnotherapist with years of experience.

Healing comes in many different forms. While it ultimately proceeds from one Source, here in the world there are a multitude of beings ready to assist us, if only we would partner with them.
Some of these gifted healers are animals. They have much to teach us and can play a great role in our personal transformation, if only we allow them to do so.
Join me on this edition of Decide to Transform as I welcome animal communication expert Marybeth Haines for a high-impact, emotionally resonant discussion about the role of animals in healing, and how much they can help us humans in letting go of what needs to be released.
In short, animals help make spiritual healing more approachable. This is possible because animals radiate love. Simply love. It is up to us to recognize them as our equal, and that we are one. In so doing, powerful healing can flow uninterrupted.
Whether you have an animal companion or not--and especially if you do--you will want to tune in. Marybeth truly feels the love and energy that animals share, and does a powerfully good job of showing it!
---
Marybeth Haines' passion lies in making a difference in teamwork with animals and their gifts to humanity. She advocates on behalf of the "language they speak."
Marybeth is a highly regarded author, animal communicator, pet bereavement specialist, ordained minister and speaker. She is excited to connect with you and looks forward to sharing with you all the many gifts animals have to share as our teachers, guides, and so much more.

Our minds race about untamed, uncertain, and all too often lost. Just lost. We are all living with a roommate who is constantly talking, a "yip-yip dog," so to speak, who doesn't know anything but believes he or she does. Not knowing any better and besieged by the constant chatter, we identify with this incessant string of noise.
What happens then? Lost and confused ourselves, we suffer. Depression can result, severe stress, anxiety. Once this happens, it can be very, very difficult for us to find our way out.
But it is possible.
This week on Decide to Transform I welcome Kelly Fisher, a renowned hypnotherapist who is passionate about ending mental suffering. Join us as Kelly takes us through his own struggles with anxiety, from the crippling lows to his journey out.
Kelly has developed a system for helping people deal with anxiety, and is here to remind us that we don't realize the power we bring to the table. This power can help us effect change.
Kelly has created Anxiety Solutions, a six-week online program, and incidentally is the one who coined the term "yip-yip dog." He reminds us to slow our minds down to the speed we are living, rather than let the yip-yip dog run us off a cliff at high speed.
Enjoy this high-energy and highly practical show!

You are not alone.
Personal transformation involves doing the deeper work, going directly to the places that scare us, and it helps immeasurably to know we are not alone. It certainly feels like it sometimes, but none of us is alone. Not one.
My special guest Herman Jaramillo knows the deeper work well. As an Infinite Mindset Coach, he has worked with people on deep subjects, among them toxic relationships, addiction, and inner child work. In his many years of practice, Herman has helped people move beyond experiences of abuse and trauma, and he happily shares his insights and some of his stories on this episode of Decide to Transform.
As human beings, we crave acceptance. All the while, we judge ourselves as unworthy and hopelessly wounded, unloveable. This is where the shadow work comes in. Herman is an expert at guiding people through this darkness and out on the other side, where we realize that the past is not our fault, and the present is our personal responsibility.
Through it all, we are not alone.
---
Herman Jaramillo is an Infinite Mindset Coach specializing in entrepreneurs, toxic relationships, addiction, and inner child work. A lifelong entrepreneur himself, he started his first business selling lemonade at age eight.

After seeing the results he dedicated his life to studying different techniques like Angel Therapy, Psychic Mediumship, Addiction Therapy and several modalities of coaching to be of service to others in creating lifelong changes.
