Description

After years of dysregulation, shutdowns, and fear… something shifted.

This episode tells the story of a recent moment with my son—one that could have easily become another trauma, but instead became a powerful turning point.

Through years of nervous system work, co-regulation, and learning to stay present through the hardest moments, I was able to show up with steadiness. And in that space, he found his own courage and resilience too.

This isn’t just a story about progress—it’s a story about what becomes possible when we do the deep work to regulate ourselves and stay connected, even in the face of fear.

If you're parenting a high-needs, hypersensitive child and wondering if the work you're doing is making a difference… I hope this gives you hope.
