In this heartfelt and expansive episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner is joined by Shayna Persad, yoga teacher, womb healer, astrologer, and creator of Healing with Shayna, for a powerful conversation on conscious motherhood as a path of spiritual awakening.

Shayna shares her journey from a Catholic upbringing into divine feminine embodiment, womb wisdom, and conscious parenting—exploring how children act as mirrors for unhealed wounds, nervous system dysregulation, and inherited patterns. Together, Meghan and Shayna unpack the difference between conscious parenting and permissive parenting, the role of boundaries, and why many “good” children are actually responding to trauma rather than safety.

This episode weaves together spirituality, psychology, astrology, and motherhood to reframe parenting not as control or hierarchy, but as partnership, guidance, and soul-level remembrance. They also explore how our views of parenting shape our views of God, authority, and agency—and why healing the “bad mom” wound is essential for feminine wholeness.
