REVIEW

On this episode of Village Mama, Char Lekx is sharing a bit about, The Enneagram: Parenting and the Head Center of Intelligence, specifically Types 5, 6 and 7. She’ll be discussing some strengths of these types, some challenges they may have and she’ll be giving some mindful parenting tips to help them deepen their connection with their children.

Self-reflection is such an important part of our parenting journey. It helps us to be aware of how we’re showing up, how we’re behaving and how the people around us may be experiencing us. If you’d like to dive deeper into this topic of identifying your Enneagram type and figure out how to parent from a healthier and happier place, check out the e-course, Parenting from YOUR best self.

Char is a transformation coach, mom to two kids 8 & 9 and loves to travel.

REVIEW

On this episode of Village Mama, Char Lekx is sharing a bit about, The Enneagram: Parenting and the Heart Center of Intelligence, specifically Types 2, 3 and 4.

She’ll be briefly looking at how they may be showing up in their journey of parenting. The unconscious childhood message that they have received and internalized as a child. And the message they need to hear now to begin their own healing and their journey towards living a healthier and happier life.

Char is a transformation coach, mom to two kids 8 & 9, loves to be at the beach and has quite a kooky sense of humour.

In this very first episode of Village Mama, I’m keeping it real and talking about what made me start this podcast and why it took me so long to do it, even though this vision has been on my heart for years. As I’ll be asking other moms to share their stories, I thought it only fair that I open the series with my own story of my fears, hopes and vision for this initiative. In this episode, I invite you into the village to find out:

+ Why I created this podcast and community.

+ My reflections on being a mom.

+ My memories and perspective of motherhood when I was a child.

+ What I’ve learned and discovered about parenting in this day and age.

+ And my hope for the future.
