OCT 14, 202628 MIN

Description

In this episode, I’m chatting with mom coach Cassie Gudmundson about something so many moms experience but don’t always know how to handle: feeling overstimulated, reactive, and like you’re about to lose your cool. Cassie explains what somatic work actually means, what’s happening in our bodies when we become overwhelmed, and why regulating your nervous system isn’t about being calm all the time or stuffing down your emotions. We talk about the physical signs that can show up before you yell or shut down, why things like whining, crying, and constant touching can feel so triggering, and how to use simple body-based movements to help you regulate in the moment. Cassie also shares why practicing these tools when you’re calm can help build your capacity over time, plus what healthy repair can look like when you do lose your cool with your kids. If you’ve ever thought, “I know what I should do, but I just can’t seem to stop myself in the moment,” this episode is for you. Make sure to hit follow/subscribe so you never miss an episode!
