Episode 192 -  From Triggered to Centered: Tools to Rewire Your Reactions and Restore Family Peace

Are you constantly walking on eggshells with your adult child?
 Do you find yourself reacting instead of responding—and then beating yourself up later?

You’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m joined by growth coach Emily Layton, and we’re diving deep into how to move from survival mode to soulful connection. We explore what it means to operate from your “low brain” vs. your “high brain,” how fear hijacks your reactions, and the exact steps to regulate your nervous system so you can show up grounded, calm, and connected—even in the most emotionally charged moments.

If you’ve ever wondered:
 “Why do I keep reacting this way?” or
“How do I stop the spiral and show up better in my family?”
—this episode will give you the framework you’ve been searching for.
