Welcome to From the Trenches mini-episodes! I aim for these brief, unscripted thoughts to reach you from my phone to yours as if we were girlfriends just swapping voice memos. Wanna respond? Shoot me a message over on IG @coachrachelfernandez letting me know what you think! Here's what we're talking about today:

Ever find yourself losing it over something tiny—and then hating yourself for it?

Yeah, me too.

In this voice-note-style chat, I’m sharing a moment of raw frustration (that almost led to mom rage), the shame spiral that followed, and the simple but powerful pivot that helped me soften back into regulation and caring for my nervous system.

If you’ve ever felt like the chaos of motherhood and overwhelm is too much for your system to carry, this one’s for you.

Let’s breathe through it together, mama.
