Hi Prana Boosters!
I am Tina Louise Balodi, author of the children’s book Ms Alignment The Emotion FairyTM.
Have you ever thought about homeschooling your child? I know I didn’t.
Yet, I have always homeschooled our girls and they are actually turning 14 & 16 and have never attended “traditional” school. Join me today as I share our journey to Homeschooling/Unschooling and discuss many of the options, challenges and experiences we are facing today with Covid-19 and how it's affecting our education system and most importantly our children.
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”
Aristotle The PHILOSOPHER
Today's topic was: How We Became A Homeschooling Family
In this episode you will hear:
Why the whole world suddenly became homeschoolers Why I/we NEVER planned on homeschooling Why we did everything wrong How did our families react to our decision? Especially my mom who was a teacher and reading specialist? Learn about the many options of homeschooling What is unschooling? What are some of the benefits of homeschooling/unschooling? Who is Sir Ken Robinson? Why would some kids benefit more from this type of alternative education What are some of the biggest challenges you may encounter? What does it mean to be your child's facilitator rather than their teacher? What are some of the emotional effects of changing schooling so drastically? Why it is so important to take care of our child/children's and family's mental health? Learn how many more options there are now for homeschooling How do you embrace a learning lifestyle? How to handle it if your spouse/co-parent doesn't support this choice once we have the option to choose once again Why it's important to always re-evaluate as your child grows and check in to see what they need at every age and every stage What is deschooling? What is everyone going to do now with schools closed? What happens when everyone is suddenly together all day long? Why it's important to have more "time" for emotional eduation How do we choose as people are fearful and confused and scrambling to form learning pods, co-ops and micro learning opportunities? Why it's important to figure out what is best for OUR particular child/children/family Where can I learn more?

Prana Boosting™ With Tina-Episode #66-Peace Begins With Me-The Prana Boost Show™ Podcast
Hi Prana Boosters!
My heart is breaking alongside all of my fellow humans who have witnessed these senseless acts of violence and disregard for human life. I feel that it’s hard to find words to share how we are all feeling after seeing #georgefloyd and all the other souls lose their lives in such a tragic, inhumane way. I kept thinking of his Momma...all the Mommas...they would have to see this and endure this unimaginable pain. I don’t understand how people could witness this and not step in. What could have happened to this man in his lifetime that would allow him to do this to another human being. How could the people who watched stand by and allow him to treat another human being with such lack of love and ignore his cries for help. I will keep educating myself and my family everyday to see what more we can do to help end racism which creates a tragic lack of love, respect and equality.
I have always felt that we need to use our voice for love and to speak up for our fellow human beings and I also believe peace starts in the home. 🏡 It starts in our minds, in our hearts, in our relationships. These acts of violence have been going on for so long, it’s just now we are all witnessing them up close. It’s never been ok. And now the repercussions are adding even more violence to our world. We are not born racist. We must raise our families to understand that we are all connected, we are all worthy, we are all ONE human race. Of course I am a white woman, and I truly don’t know what it’s like to experience racial prejudice but I will always continue to learn and do my best to help understand another’s struggles and educate and empower myself to make a difference. I do know that I am proud that I live from my heart and we are proud to raise our girls to live from their hearts. Our kids watch us and need us to lead with LOVE. We are raising them in a Nonviolent home...
What’s happening in YOUR world?? What kind of world do you want to live in? How can you infuse more love, compassion, tolerance and mindfulness into YOUR/OUR WORLD? 🌎
I am leading a revolution and creating a tribe of Prana BoostersTM: A #pranabooster is someone who understands WE ARE ALL ONE. WE ARE ALL CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER. A Prana BoosterTM sees the world through loving eyes and offers compassion and empathy to others rather than judgment. Join us.
In this episode you will hear:
Why I discuss macro vs micro What’s happening in “your” world What to do to make an immediate change today that will have a ripple effect into the world What is a Mudra? Gabrielle Bernstein’s Mudra: “Peace Begins With Me”

Prana Boosting™ With Tina-Episode #68-3 Steps To Transition To Mindful Parenting-The Prana Boost Show™ Podcast
Hi Prana Boosters! I am Tina Louise Balodi author of the children’s book Ms. Alignment The Emotion FairyTM. So I meet lots of parents and families and when many parents learn how we have worked to create our conscious family and that I am a Spiritual Teacher and Family & Relationship coach, they simply look at me and tell me it's too late. They have already made too many parenting mistakes, so what's the point. I tell them it's never too late and your child's life depends on you taking this next important step. Meaning yes, maybe it's true, you feel it would have been nice to start sooner, but it's always DIVINE TIMING on our journey...and if you start today in a year you will have been doing it for a year... Dear Beautiful Parent, You may feel hopeless. Disappointed. Frustrated. Overwhelmed. Tired. I get it. We have been there too. You have a vision of what it might look and feel like to parent, but then we face a situation that stops us in our tracks. We may overreact, we may become emotional, we may get triggered and angry and act the way "we were" treated growing up or we may act the way we "think" we need to in order to be a "good" parent. As our kids grow, we meet new challenges and are not sure (because we have never been taught) exactly how to handle these very new situations. I can tell you this for sure... Our kids deserve parents who are willing to Raise Their Awareness, Educate themselves and commit to a Conscious/Mindful/Gentle/Peaceful Parenting Process. Today's topic was: 3 Steps To Transition To Mindful Parenting We have learned that relationships are built on trust, compassion, empathy, mutual respect and unconditional love. Our kids need us to build a foundation and a relationship that they can count on. Are you wishing and waiting for peace in your home? Are you already interested in Self Help, Personal Growth and Changing Paradigms? Are you ready to make immediate changes that will set your family up for a loving, healthy, happy, peaceful home? Do you desire to feel less stress & have more fun in parenting? Do you UNDERSTAND the importance of investing in yourself & your Family? Are you READY to learn, implement and commit to new relationship & parenting strategies? Do you DREAM of finding ways to connect to your kids though love? Are you WILLING to do everything in your power to change your parenting mindset & release methods, habits, thoughts, beliefs & behavior that are not working for you? In this episode you will hear: When is the best time to transition to Mindful Parenting? Why is it NEVER too late to make a change in your family? Why you may experience some fear, doubt, regret and anxiety as we embark on a new journey What are the 3 Steps To Transition To Mindful Parenting? Why is it often hard for us to learn to parent in this way? What does Connection to ourselves and our kids look like? Why would our kids not trust us when we tell them we are going to work on our family and changing our parenting methods? What are some of the biggest challenges you may encounter?
