When You’re the Calm… but You’re Not Calm


Listen Later

A compassionate, science-backed conversation about what happens when neurodivergent parents want to be the calm for their kids… but their own nervous system is completely overwhelmed.

In this episode, we explore:
✨ why ND parents reach their limits faster
✨ the physiology, psychology, neurology, and biology behind dysregulation
✨ why losing your calm isn’t failure, it’s a nervous system asking for support
✨ the power of repair, honesty, and self-compassion

We’re also featuring our Small Biz Shoutout of the week!
This episode spotlights the beautiful children’s book “I’ve Got You,” created to help kids understand big feelings through connection, safety, and emotional modeling.

And at the end of the episode, you’ll find a gentle journaling prompt to help you reflect with softness instead of shame.

Whether this is your first time listening or you’ve been here from the beginning... I’m so grateful you’re here. 💛✨
