492: Micheline Green - Leadership Parenting: How to Parent from Love, Abundance and Unity

February 7, 2026·56 min·3 clips

Micheline Green says she was sexually abused as a child and only named it after having her own seven-year-old daughter.

Daniel starts close to home. His children are older now, but he still talks about that parent-brain trick where teenagers can look, somehow, like babies you once held. That tenderness sets the room for the harder stuff. The conversation treats parenting as spiritual practice: growth on earth, ascension, and the daily work of staying loving when things get rough. The guest follows the thread through child protection, counseling, children who did not fit school systems, and the teachers and parents trying to understand them. Again and again, the work comes back to behavior as communication. A child is saying something, even when the delivery is loud, awkward, shut down, or painful. Then the same idea moves into leadership. Executives and parents are not as far apart as they may look here, because the title changes but the unmet inner child can still be right there in the room. Witness is the word the episode keeps returning to. It means staying with people in the messy places and the beautiful ones, without acting like old hurt has gone quiet just because everyone grew up. The guest sounds like a counselor, but she does not leave the work in a clinical box. She calls it a sacred journey. For parents, that lands as a useful nudge: the reaction to a child may also be a meeting with some ignored or submitted part of the adult. The ending comes back to love, not as a mood, but as something practiced in ordinary moments.
