Listen Later

If your kids are melting down… and you’re also hanging on by a thread—you’re not alone . And you’re not doing it wrong.

In this episode of Parents Using Human Design, we’re talking about one of the most important (and often overlooked) aspects of parenting: nervous system regulation—yours and your child’s.

We’re your hosts, Courtney Osselaer (a holistic wellness coach for moms) and Bryn Brown (Human Design guide and business strategist for spiritual entrepreneurs). Together, we’re exploring how Human Design can help you parent with more ease, self-trust, and energetic sustainability—even in the messy, overstimulating, day-to-day moments of real life.

🎧 In Episode 4, we talk about:

 -- What nervous system regulation actually looks like for parents and kids
 -- How Human Design helps us understand and support our kids’ emotional responses
 -- Why “meltdowns” aren’t problems—they’re communication
 – Energy types & sensory sensitivity (especially for Projectors and defined Emotional Centers)
 -- How overgiving and overstimulation lead to burnout (and what to do instead)
 -- Simple, non-performative ways to co-regulate in real time
 -- How to notice your own capacity—and give yourself permission to pause
💡This episode is your permission slip to stop trying to do it all, fix everything immediately, or keep everyone happy all the time. Parenting in alignment starts with supporting your own energy, too.
