94. Coming Out From Behind the Curtain: Reclaiming Sarah Lowell Harmon
<p>Some announcements can't be planned — they just have to come out. In this episode, recorded on a walk (dogs, snakes, and all), I share a big reveal I’ve been sitting on: stepping out from behind the curtain of The School of MOM and claiming my name, Sarah Lowell Harmon, and the brand itself is transitioning from The School of MOM to The Home of MOM. This episode is part backstory, part permission slip — for trusting your own timeline, reclaiming your name (literally and figuratively), and understanding why the body is the only home we've ever really had.</p><p><strong>Key Points</strong></p><ul><li>Why Sarah decided to stop waiting for the "right" timing to make this announcement — and the dating-life pattern that helped her recognize she was doing it again</li><li>The identity evolution happening behind the scenes: moving from hiding behind "The School of MOM" to fully claiming authorship of the Mothering Ourselves Mindfully framework</li><li>Changing her Instagram name after six years, and why reclaiming her maiden name, Lowell, matters as much as the brand shift</li><li>The backstory connecting her parents' 2013–2014 divorce, her own marriage that same year, and losing her name right as her family foundation "bottomed out"</li><li>Why closing Parent Wellness Group and stepping away from the therapist identity was the first visible thread of this bigger shift</li><li>The meditation that delivered "The Home of MOM" — and the realization that home isn't a website, it's the body</li><li>How this connects to inner child work, lineage healing, and the "unflourished daughter" pattern many women are unconsciously passing down</li><li>Why Sarah is claiming her lane more specifically: supporting women in becoming the mother for their daughters they always needed — by becoming the mother for themselves first</li><li>An invitation to notice your own self-imposed (or externally imposed) timelines — and permission to trust your body over "doing it right"</li></ul><br/><p><strong>Quotes</strong></p><p>"When my whole body knows something, I can't pretend that it's not here or true."</p><p>"You do what your body and what your heart wants to do... at this stage in life, my friends, there are no grades."</p><p>"Home is where the heart is. Home is our body. It is the only home you have ever had and will always have."</p><p>"We do that through becoming the mother for ourselves first."</p><p><strong>Resources Mentioned</strong></p><ul><li><u><a href="https://theschoolofmom.com/trap" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Self-Awareness Trap</a></u> (free audio): <u><a href="https://theschoolofmom.com/trap" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://theschoolofmom.com/trap</a></u></li><li><u><a href="https://theschoolofmom.com/waitlist" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mothering Ourselves Mindfully</a></u> waitlist (revamped program opening soon): https://theschoolofmom.com/waitlist</li><li>Send Sarah your voice note right <u><a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/theschoolofmom" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></u>: <a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/theschoolofmom" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/theschoolofmom</a></li></ul><br/><p><strong>What's Coming Next</strong></p><p>Sarah will be sharing more on this transition — from The School of MOM to The Home of MOM — as it rolls out across the brand, along with details on the revamped Mothering Ourselves Mindfully program as the waitlist opens up.</p><p>Thank you for tuning in to this episode of "Mothering Ourselves Mindfully."

92. Overcoming overwhelm with Katie Grimes
<p>Sarah met life coach, business coach, and podcast host Katie Grimes through Women's Business League, and after spending an hour walking before even hitting record, they had to cut themselves off just to start the podcast. This conversation covers it all — nervous system regulation, the link between our relationship with our moms and our relationships with everyone else, why "regulated" might be the wrong word, the power of play (and pleasure) for mothers, and why conscious parenting happens mostly outside the moments you're actually with your kids.</p><p><strong>Key Points</strong></p><ul><li>How our earliest relationships — especially with our mothers — create the programming that shows up in our parenting, our partnerships, and our businesses</li><li>The four rungs of the nervous system ladder: joy/contentment → fight or flight → freeze/fawn → trauma response — and how to recognize which rung you're on</li><li>Katie's five-step process for regulating emotions in the moment: naming the feeling, identifying the driving thought, using movement, deciding how you want to feel, and shifting the story</li><li>Why Sarah has officially retired the word "regulated" — and what the "flourished mother" offers as a more honest, embodied alternative</li><li>The biology of play: why play is a nervous system state, and why accessing it outside of your kids is actually what makes you more playful with them</li><li>The powerful link between pleasure, fun, and co-regulation — and why resistance to play is the exact place to get curious</li><li>Why conscious parenting is 95% of the work happening outside the moment you're in with your child — and why the scripts don't work if your nervous system isn't there first</li><li>The Carl Jung quote that anchors it all: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate"</li><li>Why women tend to take care of everyone else first — and how that pattern gets directly inherited from our caregivers</li><li>A gentle, realistic approach to movement and self-care: set the bar so low you can trip over it</li></ul><br/><p><strong>Quotes</strong></p><p>"Kids don't need a regulated mom — they need a flourished mom. She's fully expressed. She owns and celebrates the full spectrum of her human experience." — Sarah</p><p>"We don't need to feel better. We need to get better at feeling." — Gabor Maté (shared by Katie)</p><p>"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." — Carl Jung (shared by Katie)</p><p>"It's not what's wrong with you — it's what happened to you." — referenced by Katie</p><p>"You can't solve a problem in the energy that created it." — Einstein (shared by Katie)</p><p>"The trigger is the gift."</p><p>"Set the bar so low you can trip over it."</p><p><strong>Resources Mentioned</strong></p><ul><li>Katie Grimes' podcast: Anything for Love — available on <u><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2DHP2FUvbp0IYYouSZ8oLM?si=51b071dcbc3c4e9d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a></u>: https://open.spotify.com/show/2DHP2FUvbp0IYYouSZ8oLM?si=51b071dcbc3c4e9d and <u><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anything-for-love-katie-grimes/id1490607022" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a></u>: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anything-for-love-katie-grimes/id1490607022</li><li><u><a href="https://feelingswheel.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">feelingswheel.com</a></u> — a tool for naming emotions (referenced by Katie): https://feelingswheel.com/</li><li><u><a href="https://a.co/d/0ct3m4AQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Body Keeps the Score</a></u> — referenced in conversation: https://a.co/d/0ct3m4AQ</li><li><u><a href="https://www.pixar.com/inside-out" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Inside Out</a></u><u><a href="https://www.pixar.com/inside-out" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> (Pixar)</a></u> — used as an analogy for the nervous system ladder: https://www.pixar.com/inside-out</li><li><u><a href="https://theschoolofmom.com/map" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Flourished Mother Map</a></u>:<a href="https://theschoolofmom.com/map" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a>https://theschoolofmom.com/map</li><li><u><a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/theschoolofmom" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Send Sarah a voice note right here!</a></u>: https://www.speakpipe.com/theschoolofmom</li></ul><br/><p><strong>What's Coming Up</strong></p><p>The Scream is happening again — and ABC is covering it!
