In this second of a two-part series on the five “F” responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and fix), I go in-depth into the latter two—which are newer to be recognized and hugely important because they a...

Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever wondered whether you “messed up” your child, this episode is for you. Secure attachment does NOT come from perfect parenting.

Send us Fan Mail In this first episode of the new year, I’m naming the real reason so many women—especially high-achieving, overwhelmed moms—set goals every January but still end up quickly reverting back to old patterns. Even when you want change. Even when you know what to do. Even when you’re deeply dissatisfied with where you are. It all comes down to your nervous system and the subconscious b...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I name what so many moms quietly feel: the week after Christmas is often the hardest week of the entire year —not because you’re doing anything wrong, but because your nervous system is depleted and your circumstances haven’t caught up with your desire for a fresh start.

Send us Fan Mail Why are boundaries SO hard? Because they force your brain to choose between listening to yourself and keeping others happy.
