The state of our nervous system either increases the power, or limits the range, of all our thoughts and behaviors.  It’s the foundation upon which every aspect of our health and wellbeing is built.

As a result, our level of neurological fitness significantly influences the way we experience the world around us.

So, what does it mean to be “neurologically fit”? 

Practically, it might mean our kids have a meltdown over breakfast and it doesn’t derail our morning. 

It might mean when we get tough news, and we can analyze it with perspective instead of spiraling out of control. 

It might be how we get out of the loop of procrastination and follow through on our goals.

Being neurologically fit also refers to our ability to adapt to changes in our environment and gracefully respond to the demands of life and motherhood. 

You don’t want to miss this episode.  No doubt, our resilience and adaptability as high-achieving moms is our superpower – and it all stems from a regulated nervous system.

How much work have you done to grow and change your mindset?  Probably quite a bit, right?

And it’s awesome, but here’s the thing - you can’t outthink a dysregulated nervous system! 

So, the things you’re experiencing that you want to grow and heal from – whether it’s procrastination, people pleasing, anxiety, overwhelm, or burnout – you can’t get to the root of any of these if your sole focus is mindset work.

That’s because most of our nerves run from our body up to our brain (not the other way around).  So, we’re best served to focus on healing and releasing stored stress and trauma in our body because our body dictates most of the messaging running our day-to-day lives.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn why mindset work should only be a part of our growth and healing, and why body-based approaches are so powerful.  If you’re ready to level up, it’s time to get out of your head and into your body!

Throughout some of the hardest moments of motherhood, a powerful reminder I’ve often repeated to myself is “peace begins with me.”  We’re connected to those around us - we all have an impact on each other’s nervous systems.

One of the greatest opportunities we have as parents is to grow our neurological fitness, so we can help our kids regulate their nervous system and model how to return to a state of calmness through the ups and downs of life. 

In today’s coaching, you’ll learn how co-regulating and modeling regulation for our children allows us to hold space for their emotions and empowers our kids to safely express themselves in a healthy way.

Burnout can show up in some unexpected ways. 

For years, I assumed the level of exhaustion I felt was just a normal part of being a busy mom.  I didn’t know the warning signs of burnout, so I didn’t see it coming until it was too late.

In today’s episode, we explore the difference between being tired and being burned out, and I coach on how chronic stress impacts our nervous system and can lead to burnout.

Have you experienced any of these warning signs of burnout?  Shoot me a DM on IG or in The Calm Mom Collective FB Group and let’s talk about it.
