The Empowered Parent with Dana Baltutis
Welcome to The Empowered Parent Podcast Series 2.
This short series is inspired by the Australia and New Zealand Inaugural Neurodivergence and Wellbeing Conference.
Over the next few episodes, we’ll be shining a light on what it truly means to belong, and celebrating the lives, strengths, and stories of neurodivergent people.
I’ll be speaking with leaders, advocates, and thinkers from across Australia and New Zealand who are pioneering change. Together, we’ll explore how families, schools, and communities can move beyond old deficit views - and instead see neurodivergence as a vital part of human diversity.
This series is about hope, celebration, and possibility. It’s about recognising that there is a place in the world for everyone - and that when we create belonging, we all thrive.
Don’t forget to follow along, share your reflections, and join the conversation. You can connect with me at danabaltutis.com or mytherapyhouse.com.au
Let’s celebrate neurodivergence. Let’s celebrate belonging.

Episode 66: Toni Everard (Business and Mindset Coach): Balancing Masculine and Feminine: The Path to Healthy Relationships and Parenting
Masculine and feminine energies aren't just abstract concepts—they're powerful forces shaping our relationships, parenting approaches, and personal wellbeing. In this deeply insightful conversation with NLP Master Trainer Toni Everard, we explore how these complementary energies function like a battery within each of us, creating the vital polarity needed for energized, fulfilling lives.
Toni takes us on a journey through the foundations of these energies, explaining how they transcend gender while influencing everything from our decision-making to our emotional responses. You'll discover the qualities of healthy masculine energy (structure, boundaries, decisiveness) and feminine energy (intuition, expressiveness, nurturing), along with how childhood experiences shape their development within us.
The most transformative part of our discussion examines what happens when these energies become wounded. Control issues, emotional shutdown, people-pleasing, and boundary challenges all signal energetic imbalances that drain our vitality and strain our connections. Through powerful examples—from dinner table battles with children to partner conflicts—Tony illustrates how these patterns play out in daily life and offers practical approaches for healing.
What makes this conversation truly special is the emphasis on practical application. Whether you're navigating parenting challenges, relationship dynamics, or personal growth, you'll gain tools for recognizing your energy patterns, taking responsibility for your responses, and creating more balance. Toni's compassionate approach reminds us that healing is always possible when we bring awareness to our patterns and choose alignment over survival.
Ready to transform your relationships through energy awareness? Listen now, and discover how balancing your masculine and feminine energies can create more harmony, authenticity, and vitality in every aspect of your life.
