Polyvagal theory isn’t just a theory- it’s a way of living that can transform how we show up for our kids, ourselves, and everyone around us. I’m SOOOO excited to introduce you to Deb Dana! Together, we explore how understanding our nervous systems brings hope, deepens connection, and makes repair possible even in the messiest moments.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why polyvagal theory is truly a theory of hope and how it can reframe your parenting challenges.
• How to increase cues of safety and decrease cues of danger—for you and your child.
• The essential role of repair in building connection, even when your child can’t (or won’t) receive it right away.
