472 - 5 Signs You're Parenting in Fight-or-Flight (And How to Shift Out)

By 4pm you feel like you’re crawling out of your skin. The noise, the mess, your name called for the forty-seventh time, and something in you is about to snap.

That’s not you failing as a mom. That’s a nervous system that’s been in survival mode too long, and it’s running your parenting from the background.

This episode walks through five signs you’re parenting from fight-or-flight, from constant overstimulation to the guilt of resting to feeling disconnected from your own kids. 

And for each one, a fast body-based tool to start shifting out.

If you’ve been blaming your character for what is actually a capacity problem, this is the episode that hands it back to you with something you can do.
