Description

In this episode of Less Drama More Mama, I’m unpacking one of the most misunderstood nervous system survival responses: fawn.


From the outside, fawning looks like kindness, helpfulness, or flexibility.


But underneath, it’s really your nervous system trying to keep you safe through people-pleasing and self-sacrifice.


I share personal and client examples, as well as practical ways you can start showing up authentically while still maintaining love and connection with your kids.


If this resonates with you, don’t miss my free workshop, It Ends With Me, happening this week. You’ll discover your unique survival patterns, how they’re impacting your parenting, and what to do about them. Sign up at lessdramamoremama.com/free-workshop
