Most of the moms I work with know how they want to parent differently.

They've read books, gone to therapy, or tried coaching. They can tell you exactly how they wish they'd handled the shoe standoff or the bedtime battle.

And they still yell.

Knowing what to do lives in the thinking brain, but reacting starts in the body, often before the thinking brain has a chance to weigh in.

I'm away at a somatic retreat this week, so I'm replaying the episode where I first talked about this on the podcast. With the holidays coming, it felt like the right time to revisit it.

If you've been wondering why you keep reacting when you know better, this episode will help it make sense.

• What's happening in your body in the seconds before you yell
• What somatic work is, and how it complements mindset work
• A simple framework for noticing your body's reaction, regulating your nervous system, and responding on purpose
