In this insightful and practical conversation, Andryanna sits down with behaviourist and sensory specialist Dr. Bethany Bilodeau (Dr. B) to explore what’s really happening underneath children/teen behaviour — and how parents can respond with clarity, confidence, and connection.Together, they unpack the powerful idea that behaviour is communication, especially when kids feel overwhelmed, unsafe, overstimulated, or dysregulated. Instead of focusing solely on discipline, this episode explores how understanding environmental factors and the nervous system can transform the way parents approach emotional outbursts, defiance, school challenges, and everyday family dynamics.Dr. B shares realistic strategies that fit into busy family life, helping parents support regulation while still holding boundaries — without guilt, shame, or unrealistic expectations.This episode is especially helpful for parents navigating stress, sports environments, school transitions, ADHD, anxiety, or emotional intensity in their children.In this episode:What “behaviour is communication” really means in real-life;How stress, sensory overload, fatigue, and emotional safety affect behaviour;The differences between defiance and dysregulation;Practical tools to help regulate kids in the momentHow to support emotional recovery and repair after conflict;Ways parents can partner with teachers and coaches more effectively;How hydration, rest, and basic physiological needs influence emotional regulation;How parents can stay grounded when their own nervous system is activated.This episode offers both perspective and actionable strategies to help parents support their children with empathy, structure, and resilience.CONNECT WITH DR.

January often arrives with pressure to reset, get motivated, and “start fresh.” But for many women — especially mothers — the start of the year can feel foggy, heavy, and mentally overwhelming rather than inspiring.In this solo episode, Andryanna introduces the concept of maintenance mode — a supportive, realistic way to approach January that focuses on stability rather than growth — and explores how mental clutter and unfinished tasks quietly drain energy and increase stress.Drawing on research, Andryanna explains why January is a natural time for maintenance, why so many women feel behind despite carrying enormous mental load, and how small moments of completion can calm the nervous system and make life feel lighter.This episode offers practical, gentle strategies to reduce mental overwhelm without turning January into another self-improvement project.What “maintenance mode” really means;Why unfinished tasks stay active in the brain (the Zeigarnik Effect);How small moments of completion reduce stress and calm the nervous system;Why trends like “admin night” work — and how to apply them gently at home;Simple, realistic ways to reduce mental load without overhauling your life;A compassionate reframe for January that prioritizes stability over hustle.This episode is a reassuring reminder that if January feels slower, nothing needs fixing — you may simply be maintaining.CONNECT WITH ANDRYANNA:Download your FREE January Gentle Intentions Check-In HERE : An invitation to pause, listen, and support yourself where you are with this worksheet for rest, alignment & a softer start to 2026.Get your copy of The Juggle is Real: Authentic Self-Care Planner Vol. 2 HERE!

January often brings a wave of pressure around food — detoxes, restriction, and the idea that we need to “start over” after the holidays.
