How Nervous System Regulation Changes Your Marriage & Motherhood: 2 Real-Life Examples
Send a text
Ever wonder why you snap at your husband, get overwhelmed by mess, or flare up when your child has a big emotional meltdown? Because your nervous system is stressed! While it’s only doing its job, the reality is that we spend so much of our precious time and energy being upset about things that are actually in your control once you know how to work with—instead of against—your nervous system.
In this episode, I’m sharing two recent real-life moments that show what nervous system health and emotional regulation actually look and feel like in marriage and motherhood. I also share the three questions I use with coaching clients to interrupt stress spirals in the moment so you can stop feeling helpless, stop living in survival mode, and start feeling more connected to those you love.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:
- Safety and capacity change everything: when your nervous system feel safer, you’re less likely to interpret everything as a threat
- Resentment and overwhelm aren’t about the situation; they’re an INTERNAL problem based on the meaning your brain assigns to something
- Holding space beats fixing; rescuing, lecturing, or shutting emotions down only backfire long-term
- Stress resolves faster when you don’t add more stress by reacting from your default fight/flight/freeze/fawn patterns.
- Three key questions to ask yourself every time you feel stressed so you can feel better faster

Get on the waitlist for the next round of my 6-week program, Moms Made NewTM to learn the six most powerful life coaching tools every mom needs so that you and your family can flourish: https://solutionsforsimplicity.myflodesk.com/mmn-waitlist
HOMEWORK:
Recall a recent interaction with someone else where either you were upset at them, or them being emotional made you uncomfortable. How did you handle that moment? Why do you think that was? To what extent might your nervous system have been perceiving a threat that caused you to react from stress, rather than as your ideal self? How would you like to handle those types of moments differently in the future? Share your thoughts with me via email through the link in the show notes or DM me on Instagram @solutionsforsimplicity.
