Let’s be honest, no parent wakes up thinking, “Today I’m going to lose it with my kids.”

But by mid-morning, the chaos hits, stress builds, and suddenly you’re yelling louder than you meant to, and the guilt floods in.

In this episode of the Building Resilience Podcast, Leah Davidson unpacks what’s really happening when you lose your cool and why yelling isn’t a sign of being a “bad parent,” but rather a cue from your nervous system that it’s overwhelmed and braced for danger.

You’ll learn how to create emotional safety for your kids (and yourself), even when you mess up, and how to repair connections afterward in a way that actually builds resilience and trust.

Leah walks you through her simple Safety Sequence to help you stay grounded in the moment, plus practical nervous-system-based tools to reduce yelling, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with compassion.

We’ll explore:

• Why yelling is a nervous system response, not a moral failure
• How to use Leah’s Safety Sequence (Am I safe? Do I feel safe? Relax the body)
• The power of repair and reconnection after rupture
• How to balance boundaries with emotional validation
• Daily micro-practices to reduce stress and increase calm at home
