Description

If you're parenting a hypersensitive, high-needs child, you've likely had moments in public where your child's behavior triggered deep shame—and left you feeling judged, isolated, and like you don’t belong.

In this episode of The Regulated Mother, I share a personal story from a birthday party that brought all of that to the surface. We’ll explore why these moments hurt so much, how your nervous system responds to social disapproval, the role of cultural and generational conditioning, and how to begin rewiring a sense of true belonging—from the inside out.

Because you and your child deserve to feel seen, supported, and safe—just as you are.
