In this deeply honest conversation, I unpack how your childhood, nervous system, & subconscious wiring shape the way you show up as a wife & mom today. I delve into why you feel so triggered by “small” things, why mindset work & productivity hacks DON’T work, & what it actually takes to become a calmer, happier, more grounded mother from the inside out.

You’ll hear pieces of my own story: growing up as a high-achieving, people-pleasing “good girl”; struggling with postpartum depression; chasing the perfect planner & systems; “balancing” it all yet still feeling like it was never enough. It’s taken me years of struggle & study to realize our present-day triggers actually stem from DEEP childhood wounds & it’s so important to do the inner work of healing to ensure we don’t pass those wounds on to our kids. My great mission is to equip every mom with proven tools to rewire things at their root. 

  

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

  •  Why your kids’ meltdowns, messes, & big emotions trigger you so intensely—& what your nervous system is trying to protect you from
  • Why positive thinking & mindset work alone will NEVER be enough to change how you respond when triggered
  • How “little-t” & “complex” trauma programmed your beliefs about worth, safety, & belonging—even if you had a “good” childhood
  • Why you HAVE to heal your nervous system so you can break these vicious generational cycles & become the mom your kids deserve…the parent you deserved when you were a kid
  • Practical first steps to start gently exploring your own triggers, patterns, & protective adaptations

 HOMEWORK:

Your homework is to think of a recent time you got frustrated with your child. What was going on in that moment? What did you feel, both physically & emotionally? What emotion or emotions do you think your CHILD was feeling when they engaged in the behavior that triggered you? Now think back to when you were little. How was that emotion handled by your caregivers? Email me or DM me on Instagram @s
