The Thriving Mompreneur

Rooted and Restored: Regulating Your Nervous System and Reclaiming Calm


Listen Later

In this reflective solo episode, host Liz Kent shares insights from co-leading a recent Rooted and Restored retreat for moms.

Drawing from the weekend’s conversations and her own experiences as a therapist and mompreneur, Liz explores the importance of nervous system regulation, setting boundaries, and aligning your daily life with your true values. 

She offers practical tools and gentle encouragement for moms who want to feel more grounded, present, and in control of their energy without the guilt of saying no.


Key Takeaways

  • Your nervous system needs rest, not just your schedule. Chronic busyness keeps many moms in a fight-or-flight state, making true rest feel uncomfortable.

  • Boundaries protect your peace. Saying no is a full sentence and a vital skill for preventing burnout.

  • Small actions create lasting calm. Practices like progressive muscle relaxation can quickly help your body and mind regulate.

  • Share the invisible load. Engage your family in daily responsibilities to reduce overwhelm and foster collaboration.

  • Align time with values. When your schedule reflects what matters most, you feel more fulfilled and less chaotic.


Quotes From the Episode

  • “Our bodies don’t always know how to rest because we’ve trained them to stay busy.”

  • “Boundaries are not about shutting people out, they’re about protecting your nervous system.”

  • “You can be a good mom and have a career. You can be a good mom and say no.”

  • “When we involve our families in the invisible work, we make space for calm.”

  • “It doesn’t have to be a big overhaul. Small, consistent actions can completely change your sense of peace.”
