Parenting often feels like a delicate balancing act—juggling the needs of our children while trying to maintain our own sense of self and well-being. But what happens when the scales tip too far, leaving us exhausted, unhappy, and feeling like we’ve lost touch with who we are?
Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet challenging roles we take on in life. It’s a journey of guiding, nurturing, and serving the little souls entrusted to us. But what if we could approach parenting from a higher perspective—one that not only transforms us but also uplifts our children?
In today’s blog, we delve into the wisdom shared our latest Find Bliss Within Podcast, where I get a beautiful opportunity to speak with Kelly Aho, a certified guide, healer, and teacher with the Modern Mystery School, who has been serving clients for over 12 years. Kelly’s story is one of transformation, empowerment, and how the spiritual path can truly elevate the way we parent our kinds and our inner child.

A Journey of Transformation
Kelly’s story begins in 2011 when she discovered the Modern Mystery School. At the time, she was a young mother of two, living what many would call the “American dream.” Yet, despite the picture-perfect life—beautiful home, loving family, and financial stability—she felt a deep sense of unhappiness and depression.
“I felt a lot of shame that I had this beautiful life and yet I was so unhappy,” Kelly shared. It was this inner struggle that led her to say yes to the Empower Thyself Program, a two-day class and initiation designed to awaken empowerment and light.
Through this path, Kelly experienced profound shifts—not just in her own life but in her relationship with her children. “The Empower Thyself initiation brought a level of empowerment that completely changed how my children received the things I was saying to them,” she explained.
The Ripple Effect of Healing
One of the most fascinating aspects of Kelly’s journey was how her inner transformation created a ripple effect within her family. After receiving the Life Activation—a foundational healing session offered by the Modern Mystery School—Kelly noticed a shift in her relationships.
“I started to see imbalances in my relationships, even within my parenting,” she said. “When I began to take responsibility for how I was showing up, my children responded to that energy shift.”
This ripple effect extended to her children, who also received the Galactic Activation, a session that finalizes the activation of the 24 strands of DNA. “It was amazing to witness how quickly they adapted to the tools and teachings. They were only 9 and 12 at the time, but their growth was incredible.”
Seeing Children as Divine Beings
One of the most impactful lessons Kelly learned on her spiritual path was the realization that her children are divine beings in their own right. “When you see your child as a God being/Divine being, it shifts how you serve them,” she explained.
This perspective led Kelly to approach parenting with greater responsibility and intentionality. She began to focus on empowering her children rather than enabling them, setting boundaries not as rules but as opportunities to teach them about cause and effect and creating space to grow.
It’s not just about parenting anymore; it’s about serving these divine beings who are still programming themselves for life, so they can learn how to navigate through life when they grow up. Kelly said.
Overcoming Obstacles Together
Kelly’s journey wasn’t without its challenges. As she and her family embraced the teachings and tools of the Modern Mystery School, her son—then a teenager—noticed the rapid changes happening at home. “He thought we’d joined a cult because everything was shifting so quickly,” Kelly laughed.
But even this moment turned into an opportunity for growth. “When his friends’ parents called me with questions, I explained what we were doing, and they were intrigued. They also decided to get Life Activated themselves!”
The Power of Energy and Example
One of the most beautiful takeaways from my own journey is the power of energy and example in parenting. Our children respond to your energy, even without words.
When we shift, they shift too.
Kelly’s transformation inspired not only her children but also other parents in her community. “When other parents see you beaming with light and joy, it gives them hope. They realize they don’t have to stay stuck in struggle—they can shift and transform too.”
Practical Tips for Parents on the Path of Progression
1. Start with Yourself: Your children are watching you. When you take responsibility for your energy and actions, it creates a positive ripple effect in your family.
2. Empower, Don’t Enable: Set boundaries and expectations with love. Teach your children about cause and effect rather than enforcing rigid rules.
3. See the Divine in Your Child: Recognize that your child is a divine being on their own journey. This perspective will transform how you serve and guide them.
4. Use Tools and Teachings: Explore spiritual tools like meditation, Life Activation, and Empower Thyself to support your growth and create harmony at home.
5. Be the Light: Your energy matters. When you radiate joy and empowerment, your children—and those around you—will naturally be inspired to do the same.
Whether you’re a parent navigating the challenges of raising children or simply an individual on a personal journey seeking healing and growth, those profound insights on parenting extend far beyond the confines of traditional child-rearing. They offer valuable lessons that can be applied to all types of relationships, including the most crucial one we have: our relationship with ourselves.
The concept of reparenting, which involves nurturing and caring for your inner child—those parts of yourself that may have been neglected or wounded during your formative years. This process encourages individuals to reflect on their past experiences and recognize how these experiences shape our current behaviors and emotional responses. By embracing reparenting, you can learn to provide yourself with the love, support, and understanding that you may not have received in your childhood. This practice can lead to profound transformations in how you view yourself and interact with the world around you.
Moreover, Kelly’s insights delve into the notion of empowerment, which is essential for personal growth and self-discovery. Empowerment involves reclaiming your voice, setting healthy boundaries, and recognizing your worth. When you empower yourself, you cultivate a sense of agency over your life, allowing you to make choices that align with your true self rather than conforming to external expectations. This newfound strength can enhance all your relationships, fostering deeper connections and mutual respect.
Another crucial aspect of Kelly’s teachings is the importance of self-love. In a society that often encourages self-criticism and comparison, learning to love and accept yourself is a radical and transformative act. Self-love is not merely about indulgence; it’s about recognizing your inherent value and treating yourself with kindness and compassion. By practicing self-love, you can break free from negative thought patterns and cultivate a more positive and nurturing internal dialogue. This shift not only improves your relationship with yourself but also enhances your interactions with others, as you are more likely to approach relationships from a place of abundance rather than scarcity.
The tips and techniques that Kelly offers on embracing reparenting, empowerment, and self-love are designed to inspire you to take the first step toward a more joyful and harmonious life. They encourage you to embark on a journey of self-discovery, where you can explore your emotions, heal past wounds, and ultimately create a life that reflects your true desires and aspirations. By integrating these insights into your daily life, you can foster a deeper sense of connection with yourself and those around you, paving the way for a more fulfilling and enriched existence.
Parenting, Perfection & Fear of Making Mistakes
It’s a common struggle for parents to feel they must give everything to their children, often at the expense of their own happiness.
Kelly explained, “When we sacrifice ourselves completely, we don’t just harm ourselves—we also limit our children’s growth. If we do everything for them, they don’t learn independence, self-sufficiency, or how to express their own essence into the world.”
Instead, Kelly encourages parents to create a home environment where everyone has space to express themselves. Creating a beauty, loving family isn’t about perfection. It’s about holding a boundary and creating space for everyone to grow, including ourselves.

The Ripple Effect of Taking Care of Yourself
One of the most profound lessons we can learn is that self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. When parents take care of themselves, they set an example for their children to do the same.
Giving them example that they can also do things that brings them joy and nurture them.
I love baking, it relaxes me. I remember baking with my nephew. He was still little and so excited to be given responsibilities. Even though we made a mess, he felt proud to contribute and be able to bake cookies for his parents. That’s empowerment—trusting in our kids, nephews, nices, giving them opportunities to grow, and showing them that they’re capable and can contribute to the family life is important.
By embodying self-love and trust, parents can inspire their children to embrace their own growth and independence.
Reparenting Yourself: Healing the Inner Child
Parenting isn’t just about raising children—it’s also about reparenting yourself.
For Kelly, this journey began with her own spiritual path. Through Life Activation, Full Spirit Activation, Empower Thyself Program and the Universal Hermetic Ray Kabbalah program, she uncovered and healed deep-seated beliefs about perfection and fear of making mistakes.
“I realized that my inner child didn’t trust me,” Kelly admitted. “I had been so harsh on myself, with no room for mistakes. Through through healing I received and ascending the Universal Hermetic Kabbalah Program, I learned to be the parent I needed—to nurture, comfort, love and accept myself.”
This process of reparenting we can let go of the masks we wear to fit in and embrace our authentic self. When you heal our inner child, we stop projecting perfection onto others, including our children. We create space for them to make mistakes and learn, just as we need to do for ourselves.
The Power of Authenticity in Relationships
I my conversation with Kelly, we both expressed gratitude for journey of self-healing didn’t just transform ourselves — but it also deepened our relationships with our parents.
As I allow myself to look more within, and heal that what kept me small and unhappy. With the power of tools from Empower Thyself Program and Initiation, I was able let go of the survival mechanism and masks I was wearing. I become more empowered and more compassionate toward myself and others. Over time, my relationship with my parents improved drastically. I realized they did the best they could, and that understanding brought more love and relaxation into our family dynamic.
This ripple effect of healing is a testament to the power of the LIGHT. When one person heals, it creates space for others to do the same.
Practical Tips for Parents on the Path of Healing and Empowerment
1. Let Go of Perfection: There’s no such thing as a perfect parent. Embrace your imperfections and create space for your children to do the same.
2. Live Empowered Life: Continue to grow. You are Divine Being your potential is limitless,
3. Reparent Yourself: Heal your inner child by nurturing and accepting yourself. Be the parent you needed when you were young.
4. Embrace Your True Self: Drop the masks and show up as your true self. Your authenticity will inspire your children and deepen your relationships.
5. Outgrow Your Negative Ego: Your pain and wounds do not have to be the way you show up in your life
Parenting is a sacred journey, but it doesn’t have to be a perfect one. By prioritizing self-care, embracing authenticity, and reparenting ourselves, we can create a home environment where everyone—parents and children alike—can thrive.
As Kelly beautifully put it, “When you heal yourself, you empower your children to grow in the light. And that’s the greatest gift you can give them.”
