Motherhood: Aligned and Assigned

Welcome to Episode 40—we've been doing this for almost a year, and for this milestone, we wanted to get real. This isn't about nervous systems or chiropractic. This is about what it's like to be a mother who feels aligned and assigned... and also what it's like when you feel misaligned and unsure of your assignment. In this raw, unfiltered episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz have the conversation you don't usually hear: What do you do when you don't want to do it anymore? Dr. Veronica is down 2 CAs, in flight mode, daydreaming about getting a "real job"—then remembering she'd combust the second someone told her what to do. Dr. Serena shares what turned it around 6 months ago: stepping out of grind roles and back into visionary leadership. They discuss the fantasy of burning the office down, why their husbands would laugh at them being stay-at-home moms, and the mourning process of realizing this doesn't have an end like school did. We don't have it all together. Most of life is hard on purpose. And it's okay to question. Resources:PX Docs Directory Connect with Veronica:WebsiteInstagramFacebook Connect with Serena:WebsiteInstagramFacebook

If tongue and lip ties were just a tissue problem—just a physical "cinch down" tissue that's too short—why do so many babies still struggle after they're released? In this episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz dive into the neurological piece most providers are missing. Even with bodywork included, babies still aren't coordinating the suck-swallow function and still have tension throughout their whole body after revision. They break down the hierarchy of healing (central/autonomic nervous system → neuromotor → gut/immune), why all tongue tie babies also seem to have reflux, and the C1/C2 tension that affects fascial tension through the jaw and tongue AND disconnects brain communication to those structures. Dr. Serena shares the frustration: do they seriously need a revision, or do they just have so much fascial tension that chiropractic care needs time first? Discover why Boise providers won't do revisions without bodywork first, the MTHFR gene mutation factor, and why toddlers who had unsuccessful revisions are now showing up with sensory issues, speech delays, and emotional dysregulation. Fight-or-flight = tight. The revision won't stick if they're stuck in stress. Timestamps: 00:25 Why Releases Fail01:46 Nervous System Link03:13 Reflux and Gut Clues03:50 Healing Hierarchy Explained06:27 Chiro and Jaw Mechanics08:08 Timing and Tradeoffs10:35 Stress Birth and Genetics12:10 Better Outcomes with Team Care14:52 Beyond Infancy Signs16:36 Find a PX Doc Near You Resources Mentioned:PX Docs Directory Connect with Veronica:WebsiteInstagramFacebook Connect with Serena:WebsiteInstagramFacebook

In this episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz expose what most doctors aren't discussing: the nervous system's role in preeclampsia. They explain the gas pedal (sympathetic) vs. brake pedal (parasympathetic) analogy—in pregnancy, you NEED the brake pedal working because your blood volume increases 30-50% and your body needs to adapt in massive ways. When chronic stress keeps you stuck on the gas pedal, blood vessels stay constricted, stress hormones stay elevated, and conditions like preeclampsia emerge. Research shows maternal stress can increase the risk up to 20 times. Dr. Serena's midwife said it's "random," but the data says otherwise. Discover what dysautonomia actually means, why you can't cognitive therapy your way out of fight or flight, the warning signs most moms miss (terrible sleep and heartburn before you're even showing), and why the moms who say "I'm fine" are often the most stressed (freeze/fawn response). You have more control than you think.Timestamps:00:25 Why Preeclampsia Is Rising00:47 Gas and Brake Analogy01:30 Pregnancy Needs Adaptation02:24 Dysautonomia Explained03:21 Stress Hormones and Vessels04:40 Is It Really Random05:49 Chiropractic and Stored Stress07:15 Mindset vs Subconscious Stress09:54 Hidden Stress Signs in Pregnancy10:32 Different Stress Responses12:02 Find Nervous System Care12:49 Empowering Worried Moms Resources Mentioned:PX Docs Directory Connect with Veronica:WebsiteInstagramFacebook Connect with Serena:WebsiteInstagramFacebook

You're running from speech therapy to OT, feeding therapy, behavioral therapy—layering in supplements, special diets, sensory tools, detox protocols. All out of deep love for your child. But despite all that effort, progress feels slow or it's not happening at all. And you're left asking: What are we missing? Why isn't this working? Where do we go next? In this episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz explain what most doctors aren't looking for: your child doesn't need more therapies—they need the right foundation for everything else to work. They break down "the perfect storm" (prenatal stress → birth stress → postnatal stress compounding into cracks in the foundation), why 90% of newborns have spinal dysfunction after birth, and the house analogy that changes everything—Dr. Serena's husband just bought a house where they'd already built rooms upstairs with the foundation cracked on both walls. Discover why adding more therapies is like plugging too many devices into power strips until the circuit breaker trips, why therapies plateau or cause regression when the nervous system is overloaded, and the story of an adopted 3-year-old with the perfect storm who whispered "hug, please" for the first time. Connection is the most beautiful result of nervous system repair. Timestamps:00:25 When “More Therapy” Isn’t Working: The Missing Foundation02:07 What We See in the Office: Burned-Out Families & Unchecked Nervous Systems03:13 The Cracked Foundation Analogy: Why Progress Keeps Slipping05:54 The “Perfect Storm” Starts Early: Prenatal + Birth Stressors10:24 Postnatal Stress Piles On: Reflux, Sleep, Infections & Overload11:56 Guilt, Meltdowns, ADHD/Anxiety: Signs the System Is Stuck in Stress13:37 Why Therapies Plateau: Overloaded Bandwidth & When to Pause16:47 The Fix: Neurologically Focused Chiropractic + Insight Scans18:20 Real-Life Breakthrough: The First Hug (Connection Returns)21:19 Next Steps: What to Expect at Your First Visit + Finding a PX Doc

You've spent thousands on therapy, changed your child's entire diet, tried supplements, breathing exercises, sensory tools—all the experts, all the options. Yet here you are watching the same struggles repeat: the meltdowns, the anxiety, the focus issues, the sleep problems. Everything helped for a little bit, then you plateaued. In this episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz explain why you're not doing anything wrong—you're just doing things out of order. They break down the difference between rebuilding and repairing, and why you can't rebuild on a shaky foundation. Dr. Serena shares the story of a PT mom whose superstar athlete son had seizures—she covered up the neuromuscular imbalance perfectly, but the nervous system dysfunction causing the seizures was still there. Discover why therapies plateau, how your body waves different red flags when you mask symptoms, and the parking brake analogy that changes everything. You're trying to push a car to the gas station with the parking brake on. It's not that other therapies aren't important—but you need to release the brake first. Three to nine months to establish the foundation for the rest of your life. Resources Mentioned:PX Docs Directory Connect with Veronica:WebsiteInstagramFacebook Connect with Serena:WebsiteInstagramFacebook

Before you buy another ashwagandha supplement, book that $5,000 wellness retreat to Sedona, or purchase an infrared sauna from Costco—you need to understand something crucial about your nervous system: most regulation tools don't go deep enough. In this episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz explain why parents are burnt out from doing all the "right things" but still feel terrible. They share the story of a wellness professional who came in taking all the supplements, doing mold detoxes, working with multiple providers—and still felt crappy every day. Her Oura Ring never got past the teens. She was blue at birth (her dad called her a "Smurf"), and that pattern had been stuck in her nervous system ever since. Discover why you can't regulate something that needs repaired first, how supplements and saunas are just "crunchy band-aids" without the foundation, and why glitter-covered poop is still poop. You don't need more hacks—you need a healed nervous system. Repair makes regulation possible. Timestamps: 00:26 Understanding the Nervous System's Role in Wellness00:53 Real-Life Patient Stories02:15 The Importance of Birth Stories03:16 Tracking Progress with Technology06:01 The Cost of Wellness Trends09:13 Repairing vs. Regulating the Nervous System11:46 How We Diagnose and Treat Nervous System Issues21:38 Creating a Personalized Care Plan Resources Mentioned:PX Docs Directory Connect with Dr. Veronica:WebsiteInstagramFacebook Connect with Dr. Serena:WebsiteInstagramFacebook 

Welcome back to Motherhood Aligned and Assigned! In this episode, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz get vulnerable about their journeys through chiropractic school, pregnancies, business ownership, and the moments they almost gave up. Dr. Serena shares how questioning her physical form in school led to an epiphany on a missions trip, the surprise pregnancy that crumbled her empire-building dreams, and the spiritual warfare of buying Vessel Chiropractic with a 5-month-old baby. Dr. Veronica reveals how she went from "I never want kids" to planning pregnancy in chiropractic school, the loss that changed everything, and the September 2025 when Haven Health Chiropractic, her health, and her marriage were all crumbling—and she Googled "how to go bankrupt" on a Thursday, then declared "failure isn't an option" the following Monday. Discover the surrender moments that changed their trajectories, why success apart from God breaks you, and how two very different women are building empires while raising families. Timestamps:00:32 Our Personal Stories: Similar Yet Different01:37 Serena's Journey to Chiropractic04:31 Veronica's Path to Chiropractic07:42 Motherhood and Chiropractic School11:27 Unexpected Turns and New Beginnings16:44 Overcoming Failure Mindset17:53 Starting a Chiropractic Practice20:16 Facing Business Challenges22:10 A Turning Point23:48 Embracing Abundance29:45 Balancing Family and Business Resources Mentioned:PX Docs Directory Connect with Veronica:WebsiteInstagramFacebook Connect with Serena:WebsiteInstagramFacebook

Dr. Veronica's 4-year-old just got her first ear infection. Dr. Serena's daughter has battled eczema for two years. As chiropractors who see miracles in their offices daily, this feels like... an insult. In this raw, unplanned episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz get vulnerable about what it feels like when your own kids get sick despite doing "all the things." They discuss the existential crisis natural-minded parents face when chiropractic care doesn't seem to be "working," why Dr. Serena initially thought her scans were a scam when she scanned her own daughter, and the reality that even chiropractors' kids get sick sometimes. Learn why 80% of ear infections are viral (and don't need antibiotics), how to gather information before making treatment decisions, and the perspective shift that changes everything: "Imagine where we'd be without this knowledge." This is the honest conversation about the journey through health—not just the highlight reel.

Your baby favors one side. You've been told it's just a tight muscle—do some stretches, try tummy time, wait it out. In this episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz discuss how a stressed-out nervous system impacts babies with torticollis. Through real patient stories, they reveal why pediatric PT alone often isn't enough—babies who had their muscles balanced still couldn't roll both sides, crawl, or sleep well. The root cause? Nervous system stress and subluxation keeping those muscles contracted. Learn how birth interventions create upper neck stress, why torticollis and constipation are the same issue, and what makes neurologically-focused chiropractic different. You don't have to choose between painful stretches and nothing—there's a third option that works with your baby's nervous system.

Your child is melting down in the grocery store. You've tried consequences, bribing, reasoning—nothing works. You leave red-faced, heart racing, wondering what you're doing wrong.

Your child was making incredible progress in chiropractic care. Their scans were improving, symptoms were fading, you were counting down the visits until wellness. Then suddenly—everything stalled. What happened? In this revealing episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz share the pattern they keep seeing in their offices: kids who plateau in their healing journey until their parents get under care too. Through real patient stories—including a blood sugar case that finally broke through when parents started getting adjusted, and babies who can't settle because mom's anxiety creates a frequency they're tuned into—the doctors reveal the powerful science of co-regulation. Discover why your child's nervous system is constantly mirroring yours (even when you think you're hiding your stress well), how tears of joy literally look different under a microscope than tears of sorrow, why entire families often show nearly identical HRV patterns, and the "seventh sense" babies have that makes them more tuned in to your nervous system than you realize. This isn't about blame or mom guilt—it's about understanding that trying to heal your child's nervous system while yours is stuck in fight-or-flight is like pushing a car uphill with the brakes on. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for your child's health is get yourself adjusted first.

Your heart is racing, your brain is foggy, and you're supposed to know what's best. But do you? In this raw and personal episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman shares the story of her son Duke's emergency hospital visit while she was traveling in Denmark. What started as a suspected choking incident led to a high-risk bronchoscopy under anesthesia—only to discover it was croup, not choking. Through her story, Dr. Serena and Dr. Veronica Schiltz reveal the lessons every parent needs about advocating in medical emergencies, even when you're overwhelmed and out of your depth. Discover why most of us weren't raised to question medical advice, how to recognize when you're being rushed into unnecessary procedures, and the power of simply asking "How much time do we have?" Learn practical language to use with providers, why you're the expert on your child (even when they're the expert on emergencies), and how a regulated nervous system gives you the clarity to make better decisions under pressure. If you've ever felt unheard, dismissed, or bulldozed in a medical setting—or if you want to be prepared before it happens—this episode will give you the tools and confidence to trust your voice again. Timestamps:00:00 Introduction00:54 A Personal Story: Navigating a Medical Emergency05:04 The Importance of Asking Questions09:36 Reflecting on the Experience12:42 Advocating for Your Child's Health06:58 Trusting Pediatric Experts15:20 Parental Expertise and Advocacy16:51 The Dance of Collaboration17:27 Co-Regulation in Emergencies18:36 The Role of Chiropractic Care23:49 Practical Tips for Advocacy27:27 Concluding Thoughts and Prayer Connect with Veronica:WebsiteInstagramFacebook Connect with Serena:WebsiteInstagramFacebook 

You're taking the vitamins, going to every prenatal appointment, checking every box on your pregnancy app. But here's the question nobody's asking: Who's checking on YOU—not just physically, but neurologically? In this episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz reveal the one test every pregnant mama deserves but rarely gets: a nervous system scan. While your OB checks blood pressure, glucose, and baby's measurements, nobody's checking the system that controls all the others—your nervous system. Discover how your stress doesn't just affect you—it programs your baby's nervous system for life through the umbilical cord. Learn why conditions like preeclampsia aren't just "bad luck" but often rooted in oxidative stress and nervous system dysfunction.

You've been told your baby will just grow out of the colic. But what if colic doesn't disappear—it just evolves into chronic ear infections, speech delays, sensory issues, and behavioral problems? In this episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz, nervous system specialists, discuss how a stressed-out nervous system impacts infants, causing issues like colic, reflux, and sleep disturbances. Through the real-life case of Baby Titus, they reveal how birth trauma—even from natural births—can overwhelm the vagus nerve, disrupting digestion, sleep, and emotional regulation. Discover why "waiting it out" steals precious bonding time and how neurologically focused scans and gentle chiropractic adjustments release nervous system stress, leading to better sleep, digestion, and overall happiness for babies and families. They emphasize the importance of early intervention for lasting health benefits and offer a compassionate prayer for mothers navigating these challenging beginnings. 00:25 Introduction01:24 Case Study: Baby Titus10:45 The Role of the Vagus Nerve12:52 Healing Through Chiropractic Care14:48 A Prayer for Mothers Connect with Veronica:WebsiteInstagramFacebook Connect with Serena:WebsiteInstagramFacebook
