✨ The Power of the Pause: Finding Clarity in the In-Between

There is a moment between the inhale and the exhale—
a quiet, often unnoticed space where your whole life softens for just a breath. Most moms rush past that space.We fill it with to-dos, expectations, guilt, and the pressure to keep going. Silence can feel uncomfortable… even unsafe.

But what if that pause is actually your doorway back to yourself?

In this episode of the Mama Genius Podcast, we explore the

Circle Principle: 💫 Use Silence for ReflectionIn women’s circles, silence is not awkward.
It’s alive.
It’s where you stop performing and finally feel.
It’s where your nervous system settles, your truth rises, and clarity becomes possible.

Today I’m joined by Sande Hart—mother, grandmother, author of The Liminal Odyssey, and founder of the Global Woman’s Village. Together, we explore:

• How women’s circles create safety and deep connection
• The “pregnant pause” and why the liminal space changes us
• Why silence is the most powerful moment in every circle
• How belonging forms when women sit eye-to-eye without fixing or judging
• Why reclaiming reflection time is essential for mothers, leaders, and creators

This episode became something unexpected—
a stirring of the pot, a breaking open, a remembering of what women’s circles are truly about.
So we’re calling this Part 1.

💛 Part 2 will be a full women's circle led by Sande, where we step into the liminal space together.

We crave quiet, but we’re rarely supported in taking it.

Faith Over Fear: Speaking From the Heart

When fear takes over, it often shows up in our voices—snapping, rushing, over-explaining. We want to protect, but what our kids (and our hearts) need most is presence.

In this soul-grounded conversation, Michelle DeKeyser and Abigail Price—known as That Psalm 91 Lady—explore what it means to speak from the heart and choose faith over fear. Through guided meditation, reflection, and heart-centered conversation, they show how the words we speak shape our homes, our peace, and our connection with God.

💛 This episode blends grounding practice, biblical truth, and practical wisdom to help you stop reacting from fear and start responding with faith.

In every women’s circle, Speak From the Heart invites us to share truthfully and tenderly—without judgment, advice, or performance.
It’s about presence, not persuasion.
You don’t speak to fix anyone; you speak to connect—with yourself, with others, and with the Divine.

In this episode, Michelle and Abigail explore how that same practice applies to motherhood and faith—learning to speak peace over chaos, declare promises over fear, and let your heart guide your words.

Belonging Begins Within: A Circle Conversation with Symone Fairchild

In this heartfelt conversation, Michelle DeKeyser and guest Symone Fairchild open the new season of The Mama Genius Podcast with an honest exploration of what it means to belong.

Through grounding, reflection, and story, they remind us that connection begins not with others—but within ourselves. As women, mothers, and creators, it’s easy to lose touch with that inner spark when life feels full. But in circle, we find our way back: to stillness, to authenticity, and to being seen just as we are.

Michelle guides listeners through a gentle grounding exercise and visualization before exploring the deeper truth behind women’s circles — they’re not just gatherings; they’re sacred spaces for healing, presence, and rediscovery. Together, she and Symone explore moments of disconnection, the courage to show up, and the freedom that comes when we finally stop hiding.

💫 This episode is a reminder: you already belong.

Raised in the Washington D.C. area and a Master of Northern Shaolin Kung-Fu, Symone Fairchild is an actress, writer, director, and producer whose life embodies resilience and faith.

You’ve been running at full speed—answering messages, juggling work, caring for everyone else, trying to remember when you last had a quiet moment.

✨ In this episode:

  • Why slowing down is essential for emotional wellness

  • How to balance motherhood and business with heart

You Can’t Heal Your Marriage Until You Heal THIS First

You’re doing all the “right” things—building your business, holding down home life, showing up for everyone else. But inside, there’s that quiet ache: Why does my marriage feel so hard? You keep telling yourself it’s just a phase… but deep down, you know something needs to change.

That’s exactly where today’s guest, Chaya Garcia, found herself: loving her family, leading a business, yet feeling disconnected in the relationship that mattered most. Until she realized healing didn’t start with her partner—it started with her.

Chaya didn’t just fix her marriage. She now helps other women heal from the inside out, guiding them to epic love and connection—without losing themselves in the process.

This isn’t about doing more or being someone you’re not. It’s about finally choosing yourself first so everything else can follow.

🎙️ In this powerful episode, Chaya shares how the shift from self-sacrifice to self-connection changes not just your marriage, but your whole life.

🔍 What to Expect in This Episode

✅ Why relationship healing starts with you, not your partner

✅ How to create connection before consumption

✅ The truth about burnout, emotional walls, and self-love

✅ Real steps to reconnect with yourself before fixing anything else

This isn’t about side hustles that burn you out. It’s about redefining work so it supports your life, not the other way around.
