#005: Life + Parenting By Design! with Cecilia Kissel

Waking Up Human with Mandy Trapp

She's a powerhouse in business as a partner in Deuce vodka, co-creator in the natural beauty products, Beauty from Bees, and even has her own kids deck called, Cool to connect! Cecilia Kissel may also be the wife of popular country music artist Brett Kissel, but she is a wise, conscious, and deeply inspiring woman who is raising her family as a pure act of rebellion to "tradition." In this podcast episode we discuss how she has blended her strong capabilities in interior design with her high intuition on creating intentional spaces in order to nurture the mental and physical health for her whole family in spite of revolving travel schedules and constant growth spurts. Her methods to creating more peace and calm for everyone in her home almost seem too simple, but for some reason, many of us have never even thought of them...let alone applied them to our lives.

Get ready to take a few notes, have a few laughs, and feel more empowered within your own life as you walk away from this insightful conversation.

Some points of discussion:

- How to create intentional spaces within our homes as places for safety, exploration, and peace + quiet

- Setting realistic expectations with our children (and with ourselves) to avoid unnecessary stress and overwhelm

- Cecilia's best daily practices for herself and her kids that allows for less decision-making and more daily ease

- The gift of sinking an expensive iPhone into the bottom of the ocean (and it wasn't even hers!)

- The life-changing advice that she would give her younger self that would make all the difference on her mental health

- The greatest risk in not advocating for Self and speaking up
