Why You Keep Snapping, Even When You “Know Better”
Core Topic: What’s really going on when you spiral, shut down, or snap at your teen and how nervous system awareness can help you shift.
If you’ve ever thought…
“I’ve read the books and learned the tools… so why am I still reacting?”
“What if I just can’t change?”
“Maybe I’m not trying hard enough.”
This episode is for you.
In this week’s episode of Root to Ring: A Resilient Parenting Podcast, we’re talking about the invisible work that creates real change, not just mindset, but nervous system capacity. You’ll learn how your body might be stuck in survival mode even when your brain “knows better” and what to do when it feels like you’re parenting from constant fight-or-flight.
You’ll learn:
• Why mindset does matter, but can’t do all the work
• How your nervous system might be running the show
• What “being at capacity” actually looks and feels like
• The difference between capability and capacity• How to pause deeper (not just push harder)
• A reflection prompt for noticing what your body needs before reacting
Key Belief Shifts:
• Your body remembers what your mind tries to override
• You’re not failing, you might just be at capacity
• Calm is a skill, not a personality trait
Quotes to Remember:
“You’re not a bad mom for feeling triggered. You’re a brave one for trying again.”
“You don’t need to push harder. You might need to pause deeper.”
“Your nervous system isn’t broken. It’s doing its job. And now it’s time to teach it something new.”
