You know your triggers.

You understand why certain things your kids say or do set you off. You've read the parenting books. You've listened to the podcasts. You know how you want to respond.

And yet — in the moment — you still react.

Why?

Because survival patterns override insight.

In this week's episode, I share how I shifted patterns in my love life — and how the same principles can apply to parenting.

If you understand your triggers but still react in the moment, this episode will show you what's happening in your nervous system — and what shifts it.

Winter can be hard on moms.

And right now, much of the U.S. is dealing with extreme cold, dangerous wind chills, school closures, and being stuck inside more than usual.

When your world shrinks and your responsibilities don't, parenting can feel even heavier.

In this episode, I break down why winter affects your mood, energy, and nervous system. You'll also hear four grounded ways to get through winter without pushing yourself harder.

If winter feels challenging for you, this episode offers understanding, relief, and practical support for getting through this season with more gentleness and intention.

The hardest part of parenting for me, especially as my kids get older, is watching them make a choice I wouldn't make and letting them do it anyway.

I have to take a breath and remind myself—it's their lives, not mine.

In today's episode, I share a personal story about a time when my daughter and I had very different perspectives and how I navigated the tension between trusting her autonomy and honoring my own values.

If you've ever felt torn between wanting to protect your child and wanting them to become independent, this episode will resonate.
