On this episode of That Spiritual Girl Next Door, I sit down with the incredible Susan Sutherland—an intuitive healer, Akashic Records reader, certified death doula, podcast host, and writer. But perhaps her most profound role? Mom.
We dive deep into what it means to be awakened in parenthood and how Susan navigates guiding her children spiritually—without imposing her beliefs. She shares how she balances motherhood while staying true to her own healing journey, including her powerful experiences with Ayahuasca, Bufo, and Rapé medicine.
We also explore the challenge of raising kids in a fast-paced world—finding the balance between not over-scheduling them while still encouraging them to push past their fears. This is a raw, honest, and inspiring conversation about conscious parenting, personal growth, and the courage to live authentically—both for yourself and your family.
✨ Tune in for a conversation that might just shift the way you see parenting and spirituality. ✨
