Grow Yourself Up

Ep 79: Anxiety, Somatics and Growing Up in Motherhood with Colleen Adrian


Listen Later

In the episode this week, Cath is joined by Colleen Adrian. Colleen is an author, and a connected parenting coach for parents of sensitive spirited kids. She’s a Mom, a Stepmom, and a Grandma, and lives on a small island on the west coast of Canada.


Cath and Colleen talked about how Colleen has grown herself up in motherhood, how discovering neuroscience and better understanding her nervous system and that of her child's shifted everything for her and how she continues to surrender to her journey. Colleen shared about how astrology has supported her and how she tends to anxiety when it comes up.


Colleen helps parents of sensitive spirited kids who struggle with intense emotions, including anxiety, aggression, perfectionism, tantrums, rebellion. Through parent coaching, somatic therapy, and online courses, she helps the parents learn skills for connection and emotional regulation, both for themselves and their children so they can leave behind authoritarian parenting methods, and have the strong bond with their kids that they’re deeply longing for. She specialises in creating secure attachment and somatic healing.


She’s passionate about nurturing authenticity, connected relationships, creativity, and supporting kids to grow into their unique selves. She believes the world needs more compassionate human beings who are living authentically from their hearts.
