The GenieCoach Podcast

Episode 70: Appreciating the Pivot with Neo the Geniecoach

Welcome to our very last GenieCoach Podcast, in this episode we sit down with the founder of SOPHA Neo Nare who is also the Genie Coach. Neo took us on a memory lane of this beautiful journey of the Genie Coach Podcast and deeply expressed her appreciation towards everyone who supported her throughout this journey. Neo shares with us that she feels that it is now time for her to pivot into a different aspect of her life, she further shares that she always had a desire to have parenting and mothering that is filled with joy, love, gratitude and that is pleasing. However, the need to be relatable got the better of her and as a result she always had to bring in pathology and diagnosis in the work she does and she is not saying that these two are not important but she just believes that energy grows where energy flows. In addition to that Neo shares that she wants to flow her energy and let it grow towards bliss, joy, love, ease etc hence she felt that it made sense that now that she is pivoting towards that angle she neeeds to let go of the podcast and its not that the podcast was not helpful or necessary but it was one of the milestones that was necessary and important for her and the organisation to go through for her to get to a point where she equally own the desire of her heart work that she desires to do. Sopha will continue with the other work that it offers and in addition to that Sopha will be introducing the Gift of Motherhood as one of the work that Sopha offers. In the Gift of Motherhood we will be working with mothers who have the desire to mother from a space of ease, bliss and joy. Neo shares that she believes that there are mothers who enjoy motherhood just as she does and they don't feel that motherhood is a sacrifice or a struggle and this is not to say that motherhood does not have challenges but these mothers don't focus on the challenges but rather these mothers choose joy over the challenges. She further alluded that she wants to create a safe space for these mothers to enjoy themselves in this motherhood journey. Your challenges must not be the center of your motherhood journey and this is the gift that she wishes to share with other mothers. Yummy Quotes from this episode: You can always choose to water your flowers instead of focusing on picking out the weeds everytime, the weeds may still remain but your flower might blossom to an extend that you might not even notice the weed anymore. Energy grows where energy flows. Thank you so much for your support and love🙏🏽❤🌻. We will still continue to have our Genie Picnics and we also offer one on one coaching for genies (kids) and mothers.

She produces organic skin products that not only heals the skin but also heals the spirit and soul, she shares with us that she uses organic products because she is conscious of mother nature's wellbeing. As stated by Thami people need to be gentle and kind to mother nature because she gives people her abundance and sustenance. Thami has a company that sells organic skin products called Gaia Love, which is a greek name for mother nature, she shares that she choose this name because it is aligned with what she feels about herself and mother nature. According Thami parenting is pouring yourself into this human being that you gave birth to and just watch them grow, its knowing when to release them to let them grow and be who they were meant to be but also being able to know when to hold them when they need to be held. It is being able to sacrifice and give for the wellbeing of one's genie. She also shares with us that she sees God's pure love through the genies, they remind her of God's love and abundance.

He shares with us that he does not have kids of his own however, he strongly believes that parenting is an experience of inclusivity of being able to see another life as an extension of your own. He furthermore shares that it is also about being mindful by recognising that these new identities are an invitation that life offers to us to expand our sense of limited identities in a sense that one does not think of themselves only but have kids that they also need to think of and also realise that one's sense of self has expanded. Kaushiek also mentioned that he admires kids for their  ability to observe and thier sense of wonder, he says that children are a wonderful reminder to being present in the moment. Yummy Quotes from this episode: A child who is in a hurry is going through a childhood that is lost.

Episode 63: The good news with Neo

In this episode we connect with the Genie Coach herself Ms Neo Nare and as we kick start the new year, she shares the good news with us. She shares that she has been having conversations with her tribe to say they need to co-create a new reality and the foundation of that reality should be love. She also mentioned that the only way this reality can be realised is if we use love to overcome fear, this is because she believes that most of the things we think we hate we actually fear, but given a chance to fully know and understand them, we can make a sound and informed choice and decide if we truly hate them or its just fear making us think that we hate them. The Genie Coach also shared that genieazels (parents) can't always use taugh love towards their genies based on a rational that the world is not a friendly place. She shares that she doesn't understand that why aren't the genieazels becoming a safe space for their genies, that friendliness reference in them because when one find themselves in a dark place that little bit of love and friendliness they experienced from their people and tribe becomes the beam of light. She also shared that she realised that darkness in this world will always be here but the minute one puts their light into that darkness then darkness will begin to disappear. She says people must always choose love over fear so that the darkness in the world will have no power. She went on to share that on the business side of things she has chosen to surrender and let go of control and just let things unfold the way that they should but other than that School Of Primal Healing Arts (SOPHA) continues to grow as an organisation and that we already have a semester worth of Genie picnic dates and SOPHA continues to strive for creating beautiful memories and moments for genies. Yummy Quotes from this episode: Darkness cannot comprehend light, parents should be the light in their genies' lives. Love exists even in the mist of darkness. Teach your genies to always choose love over fear. Thank you so much for listening to this episode and if you enjoyed it please share it with others that you feel they might benefit from it.

In this episode we are joined by the engine behind School Of Primal Healing Arts (SOPHA), we finally get to meet the lady behind the scenes of SOPHA and the Genie Coach brand Baitseng Nare commonly known as Kunie. Her journey with SOPHA began very casually in 2021 where she was just managing the brand's Tiktok account and she formally became part of the family in 2023 where she was now promoted to being the admin of the organisation.

Yummy Quotes from this episode: Its okay to start at the button and make your way up the success ladder. Thank you so much for your continued support and we wish you a prosperous new year.

Episode 61: a call to step up as modern Azels (rents) with Coach Nunu

In this episode we are joined by Coach Nunu who refers to herself as Auntie Nu and one of the reasons behind the name is because coach Nunu is an actual real life Auntie who is also a family coach. She helps people heal their childhood trauma and family wounds so they can experience authenticity and joyful relationships. Coach Nunu works with genies from 10 years and older, aswell as adults who feel like their upbringing and family dynamics are affecting their adult life and might have negative impact on thier lives. Coach Nunu normally works with genies that are labelled as difficult by society however, she shares that these genies are not difficult or they don't have any behavioral problems but rather most of them are genies that have issues with adapting and adjusting emotionally. Coach Nunu also shared that coaching sessions that she provides for the genies is also provided to the Azels (parents) or family units because it is important to ensure that azels also update their parenting skills as their genies are also being updated in their coaching sessions. Furthermore, Genieazels also need coaching because it can be difficult at times for them to genuinely connect with their genies while they don't understand them. According to coach Nunu parenting is a blessing and a privilege because not everyone gets to be blessed with the experience of being an Azel (parent). She also shared that parenting is a big responsibility because one has this soul that is trusted to them to help shape the life of this soul and guide it through life. Furthermore, she shared that parenting is also fun because one gets to revisit their childhood memories because for azels to understand their genies they need to be in their world. Coach Nunu also pointed out that parenting is also about partnership because genies are good communicators and they always communicate their feelings on how they want to be treated and this calls for azels to be present at times so that they can be able to hear all that is said and unsaid by their genies. Coach Nunu shared that she believes that genies come into the world as complete beings and she compares them with gifts that are wrapped and inside a box and that each milestone of their lives is like unwrapping a gift to a new layer of them, as they are making their way to their original blueprint of who they were really called to be. She also shared that as they are developing their characters they go through all these milestones and stages and they should be given room to learn and find themselves. Coach Nunu is making a call to modern azels to step up and according to her this is because modern azels are aware and in tune with the mistakes that their parents have done in parenting the now modern azels and that they know that they have a responsibility to unlearn all those not so positive parenting skills that they saw from their azels. However, coach nunu shares that in their quest in trying not to repeat the same mistakes it now looks like modern azels are scared to parent their genies because they are always scared of inflicting trauma and scaring their genies emotionally. Modern azels are scared of being firm and setting boundaries because they are always scared of the damage they might cause in their genies. Azels need to always draw the line between stepping up and being extreme by always self regulating, what coach means by this is that azels should always ensure that when they reprimand their genes they do that when they are in the right state emotionally,azels should always calm down first before they can address issues with their genies because it most cases abuse comes up when emotions are high. Genies should be given enough room to express themselves and they should feel safe to do so and should also be made aware that it is not everything that they will say that people will agree with and that is also okay. We hope that you enjoy listening to this episode and please share it far and wide. Yummy Quotes from this episode: Be friendly with your genies until they are old and mature enough to understand boundaries then you can be their friend. Real and true love for yourself and your genies is a combination and relationship between stop and tough love.
