Sacred Tools. Soulful Connection. Modern Mysticism for the Parenting Path. Welcome to The Spiritual Parent, a heart-centered podcast for parents raising sensitive, soulful, and intuitive children in a world that often forgets the sacred. Hosted by Carrie Lingenfelter—former educator, mother of two, and spiritual guide—this space offers grounded, loving support for those who feel called to parent as a spiritual practice. Each week, we explore the unseen layers of parenthood: energetic connection, intuition, ancestral healing, and the soul contracts we share with our children. From solo episodes filled with channeled insight and practical tools, to deep conversations with mystics, healers, and visionaries, you'll walk away with clarity, confidence, and a deeper connection to your own inner wisdom. This is your invitation to step fully into the sacred role of The Spiritual Parent—and to raise the next generation with intention, presence, and soul.

This revelation marks an important ev...
