In this episode of Turn the Lens Inward, I’m joined by my very first guest, Sheila Marina, for a deeply meaningful conversation about parenting through emotional dysregulation and finding your way back to yourself. Sheila shares her personal journey raising a son with complex challenges, the impact it had on her nervous system, relationships, and sense of identity, and how everything began to shift when she found support through Sash Bear’s Family Connections program.

Together, we talk about the weight of shame, the power of validation, and how our central nervous system drives our reactions in ways we don’t always understand. We explore what it really means to turn the lens inward, how healing ourselves can transform our family dynamic, and why even in the hardest moments, there is still hope.

If you’re a parent who feels overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure of what to do next, this conversation is here to remind you that change is possible and you are not alone.
