  • Parenting with Peace :The FREEDOM Framework with Ellie Bassick-Trovato (Part 2) | TEENTALKS EP. 75
    Nov 23 2024

    In this second installment with Ellie Bassick-Trovato, we delve into her transformative FREEDOM Framework for parenting with purpose and calm. Ellie guides us on how to exercise our “peace muscle” to stay calm with our kids, handling tough situations by responding rather than reacting. Built on brain science, the FREEDOM Framework helps parents identify the core issue instead of just addressing symptoms, creating a powerful shift in how we engage with our children.

    Ellie reminds us that self-compassion is key to effective parenting. By showing kids that it’s okay to make mistakes and reset, we model resilience and empathy. She encourages parents to consider the ultimate goal of parenting—clarifying intentions that shape our responses and foster stronger connections with our children. Through her personal stories, Ellie provides examples for navigating challenging moments, grounding her advice in real-life scenarios.

    Ellie also emphasizes the importance of guiding kids within flexible guardrails, trusting them to learn from their own experiences. With insights on how to reflect on our own upbringing and release any unhelpful patterns, Ellie’s approach encourages openness, curiosity, and a willingness to grow alongside our children.

    In this deeply moving and powerful episode, Ellie Bassick-Trovato, author, empowerment coach and spiritual guide, shares her journey from heartbreak to healing which has inspired countless people. After the loss of her husband shortly after their son was born, Ellie began a journey that would change her life forever. Drawing from spirituality, she shares how she transformed grief into purpose, building a Wellness Center and coaching business that has helped others find the gifts in life’s greatest challenges.

    Ellie’s story unfolds as a testament to the power of intentional living. She shares how she tuned into guidance from beyond, including surprising connections with her late husband, and opens our minds to recognizing the signs and energy around us. With practical exercises, Ellie empowers parents to stay in the “bright sky” while guiding their children from “deep in the cave” where the focus is on love-based thinking to create joy and resilience in their lives.

    In an enlightening exchange with Rehan, who takes on the role of the skeptic, Ellie provides compelling stories and scientific insights that bridge spirituality, the science of well-being, and a new approach to parenting. This episode invites you to rethink what’s possible in times of hardship and how to use these principles to change your life and relationships.

  • Rising Above – Chris & Nick’s Path to Authenticity and Mental Fortitude (Part 3) | TEENTALKS EP. 73
    Nov 8 2024

    In the final part of this powerful series, Chris Dabao and Nick Orchard break down the mental shifts that helped them reclaim their true identities and live authentically. They dive into the science behind our brains—how our environments and what we consume shape who we become and why understanding this can free us from limiting beliefs. For years, both tried desperately to fit in and meet others’ expectations, but the weight of living inauthentically brought intense pain, ultimately sparking their transformation.

    Chris reveals three life-changing practices he now teaches young people to embrace their true selves, from controlling environmental influences to building mental resilience. Nick shares his own journey, marked by feelings of isolation and pain, leading to his realization that even the best-intentioned role models sometimes model limiting beliefs. Through these insights, they found clarity on how to use emotions purposefully and create a positive relationship with the “prehistoric brain,” freeing themselves from fear’s grip.

    Tune in to discover the empowering tools they share for teens and parents alike to foster confidence, self-worth, and the resilience to thrive. This episode is packed with actionable insights that bring clarity to anyone ready to understand their true self and live fully empowered.
