336: Burned Out, Mama? 7 Nervous System Resets That Actually Work


Listen Later

Motherhood is beautiful—but let’s be real, it’s also a nervous system rollercoaster. Between the meltdowns, multitasking, and mental overload, your body is constantly scanning for threats… even when it’s just spilled milk or the 47th “mamaaaa!” of the day.

In this episode, I’m sharing 7 powerful, science-backed techniques to help you regulate your nervous system in just minutes—no supplements, spa days, or silence required. These tools are quick, free, and totally doable (even when you’re touched out, overstimulated, and running on fumes). This is your nervous system reset, mama—and it starts now.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • Why “mom rage” and constant fatigue might be signs of nervous system overload

  • How trauma and overstimulation keep your body stuck in fight-or-flight

  • The 4-7-8 breathwork technique that rewires your stress response

  • What to do when you're too touched out, overextended, or emotionally raw

  • Why singing, humming, and even gargling can reset your nervous system

  • The surprisingly powerful role of cold showers, warm socks, and magnesium

  • How to build micro-moments of calm into chaotic days—without needing to “escape” motherhood
