Cindy Havington has a PhD in neuroscience, three kids she homeschools at home, and a company she built from scratch during the most chaotic season of her life. She also once had a full breakdown and yelled at her soup during the pandemic, and that moment changed everything.

In this episode, we get into why so many of us are applying emotional regulation tools too late, what your brain is actually doing in the seconds before you snap at your partner or your kids, and why awareness is the first and most powerful tool you have. Cindy breaks down the science behind the two questions your brain asks in every emotionally charged situation, why arguments escalate even when nobody meant for them to, and how knowing your core values can help you stop living for everyone else's expectations.

We also get personal. Cindy opens up about growing up in a dysregulated home, why she built her entire company for the younger version of herself, and how she manages to work, homeschool three kids, and still show up with capacity. And I share the moment my husband asked if I wanted to quit the podcast and what came out of me surprised even me.

This one will shift how you see your emotions, your arguments, and yourself.
