E17| Parenting as a Portal and the Gifts of your Own Inner Knowing with Catherine Keating

Guided with Lindsay Morlock

Catherine Keating is a Highly Sensitive Empath who works with Highly Sensitive parents and families in finding ways to thrive. She is the author of There Was Supposed To Be a Baby: A Guide to Healing after Pregnancy Loss, which she wrote after her first two pregnancies ended in miscarriage and she found herself needing to dive deeper into healing on all levels: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Catherine’s background is in special education and early childhood education, and she is a certified yoga teacher and with additional hours in Yoga For Fertility. Catherine is also an energy intuitive and offers written intuitive readings. She works to weave these passions together to provide a unique healing experience for every client. Catherine lives in Seattle with her husband, two Highly Sensitive children, and her elderly dog, Jersey.

In this week's episode of Guided, we cover a lot of ground all centered around the theme of the gifts of knowing your own knowing. Specifically we discuss:

• How Catherine's departed Grandmother was a catalyst for her own awakening;
• The lessons she learned in experiencing loss through miscarriage;
• How parenthood is truly a portal for enlightenment;
• How she knew she was pregnant before tests could confirm it;
• Communicating with babies pre-birth and some of their messages to parents;
• How Catherine views her role as a mother and responsibility as a parent and guardian of two young souls;
• Being highly sensitive and how that impacts parenting, especially when you have highly sensitive children;
• Tips to helps kids stay connected to their own knowing;
• The impact of being both highly sensitive and empathic and the unique challenges involved
