Description

Do you ever feel reactive the moment you're with your child — even after having time to yourself? Or find yourself tense and snappy by bedtime because you're just done?


In this episode, I share a deeply personal story that reveals how six hidden survival patterns — like overdoing, perfectionism, and rushing — can leave your nervous system depleted before the parenting challenges even begin.


You’ll learn how these patterns form, how they impact your capacity to regulate, and what you can begin doing to shift them — not through willpower, but through nervous system awareness and micro-moments of safety.


🎧 Listen now and take the first step toward building a more resourced, grounded version of yourself — not just for your child, but for you.
