Description

Are you a parent who feels constantly reactive - snapping at your kids, overreacting to work setbacks, and feeling like you're always on edge? In this raw and honest episode, therapist and mom Naomi shares her journey from corporate burnout to building a thriving private practice - twice.


What You'll Learn:

  • The real reason you're so reactive (hint: it's not just about that one thing that set you off)
  • How to recognize emotional triggers in your body before they explode
  • Why taking breaks isn't selfish - it's essential for sustainable success
  • The "pause technique" that helps you respond instead of react
  • How to rebuild your business (and life) with better boundaries the second time around


Perfect for parents who:

  • Feel overwhelmed juggling family and career goals
  • Find themselves snapping or overreacting more than they'd like
  • Know they need a break but can't give themselves permission
  • Want to build something meaningful without sacrificing their wellbeing
  • Are ready to break the cycle of burnout and reactivity


Naomi's story proves that sometimes our biggest challenges become our greatest teachers. After filling her practice in 8 months, a surprise cancer diagnosis forced her to completely recalibrate her approach to business and life. Her second rebuild took only 6 months - with half the stress and twice the wisdom.


Key takeaway: Your mood is multifactorial. When you're having an intense reaction to something work-related, it's usually about more than just that one thing. Learn to listen to your body's signals before you reach the breaking point.
