Feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders? You're not alone. 

As moms, we often find ourselves carrying a hefty mental load, with a side of guilt thrown in for good measure. 

In today’s episode, JoAnn Crohn, M. Ed, of No Guilt Mom, teaches us tips and tricks to navigate motherhood while pursuing our passions - all without the guilt.

JoAnn shows us how we can build deeper and more meaningful relationships with our family by talking through solutions instead of relying on “what’s always been done”.

Three things you’ll learn:

1. How to delegate tasks within the home or let balls drop so that you can pursue your own desires.
2. How to figure out the reasons behind kids' behavior and come up with solutions together as a family - versus coming up with the "right" consequence. 
3. How to let go of the guilt that comes with parenting and pursuing our own fun and connection as women.

Your body is always communicating with you. 🗣️ Are you listening?

Have you ever had a headache or neck pain and just popped a couple Aleve?

Have you ever had trouble falling asleep and thought “I’ll just have a glass of wine to unwind”?

Do you have a history of gut issues or autoimmune conditions?

Your body might be telling you “enough is enough”.  Our body often knows our limits before our brains does.

In today’s episode, we explore some of the most common reasons we experience somatic cues of nervous dysregulation and I coach through three different signals your body may be giving you that you need to slow down and pay attention.

Want to try my nervous system nightcap? 

For the last few months, I’ve been sipping this simple recipe about 30 minutes before I go to bed and it's been a game-changer in helping me get quality sleep and have more energy during the day.

So, of course, I wanted to share it with you!

In today’s episode, I’ll give you the recipe for my nervous system nightcap, and also break down the science behind it. 

When our stress hormone cortisol is running on overdrive all day (and depleting our glycogen stores), it can wreak havoc on our sleep.

So, having a drink that naturally contains melatonin and supports our adrenal glands helps to regulate our stress response and promote relaxation and sleep.

Give this recipe a try for a few weeks and let me know how it goes. Here's to restful nights and refreshed mornings!

Do you love to unwind with a glass of wine at the end of the day?

You’ve taken care of your kids all day, kept up with the house, done your own work. Maybe that glass at the end of the day is how you take the edge off after the day’s chaos. 

If so, you’re not alone.  Mommy wine culture is everywhere.  And I bought into it for years until I studied the nervous system.

Sober mom advocate Celeste Yvonne joins us in today’s episode to talk about the harmful nature of Mommy Wine Culture and how easily we come to rely on a drink as a part of our daily routine. 

Three things you’ll learn in this episode:

1. What it means to be sober curious
2. How even occasional alcohol consumption impacts our nervous system
3. Surprising ways mommy wine culture causes anxiety

What does your self-talk sound like when you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed?

Is it like the Little Engine that could chanting “I think I can. I think I can. I think I can” or does that voice tend to be more critical?

Over the years, I’ve consistently relied on 3 specific reminders to help me heal from burnout and redirect my focus when I’m feeling stressed.

And I’m not talking about saying nice things to myself in the mirror.  I’m talking about mantras, affirmations, and reminders that are rooted in nervous system regulation.

Listen to this episode for these 3 powerful mantras that will help you stay grounded when you start to spiral out in stress.

What does the first hour of your day look like? 

Maybe you've gotten your AM routine down to what you think is a science.  

But here’s what I’ve noticed - most of us aren’t aware that we have morning habits that are sabotaging our nervous system and causing burnout.

In today's episode, you'll learn 5 common morning routines that actually increase your baseline stress levels and can cause anxiety and burnout. 

I'll teach you easy swaps to your morning routine to start your day supporting nervous system regulation (and I promise I won’t take away your coffee!)/

Recovering from burnout doesn’t happen in a day, but I can teach you how to start your mornings with intention to optimize the state of your nervous system for healing.
