In the last episode of 2025, we’re going back to the basics of nervous system regulation — especially for moms who feel constantly overwhelmed, overstimulated, or stuck in survival mode.

My guest is occupational therapist and nervous system coach Alex Viera, a mom of three who uses tough love, realistic tools, and functional routines to help moms get out of chronic stress and back into connection.

Together we break down:

• What regulation and dysregulation actually mean
• What dysregulation looks like in everyday mom life
• Why the holidays make everything feel harder
• The sneaky signs your nervous system is stuck in survival mode
• Three simple but powerful  habits to support your regulation (even if you “don’t have time”)

If your house feels chaotic, your reactions feel bigger than the situation, or the holidays tend to knock you off center — this episode is your starter guide.

We'll be back January 15th 2026 with fresh vision and maybe a little more rested too-- here's to hoping. Be sure to hit follow so you don't miss it when it drops!
