Are you constantly consumed by all of "The Shoulds" ?

In this week's Sunday's Best Bits, Cassie unpacks the running commentary most mothers don't even notice they're having with themselves, and the small language shift that changes it. Not a mindset overhaul. Just catching the word "should" as it leaves your mouth and swapping it for "could."

She also shares four practical nervous system tools you can use in the middle of a morning that has already gone sideways, because before you can co-regulate with anyone else, whether that's your partner, your parents or your kids, you have to be regulated yourself.

Links to the full episode featured here are in the show notes below.

This is the reminder you might need before the week starts.

In this episode:

• Why we're so good at listing everything that went wrong and so bad at naming one thing that went right
• The should to could reframe, and how to choose what feels kindest instead
• The best friend test: what you'd say to her if she called you about the cucumbers, and why you'd never say that to yourself
• Box breathing, and why a longer exhale matters
• The five, four, three, two, one sensory grounding technique for the mornings that fall apart
• Why standing with your back against a wall can help settle an overloaded system
• Micro pauses, and how to map the moments in your day that consistently feel hard

If someone came to mind while you were listening, send it to her. It might be exactly what she needs to hear.
