I’m so excited to share that the Regulation First presentation is now live inside the Lab—and it’s the beginning of a four-part series we’ll be moving through together over the coming weeks. This course is designed to be nervous-system-first, real-life friendly, and intentionally slow. There is no rush here. No catching up. No “doing it right.” Just learning, noticing, and integrating at your pace. Here’s what’s coming: ✨ Module 1: Regulation Before Behavior We start by shifting the lens—understanding behavior as a nervous system signal, not a problem to fix. This module lays the foundation for everything else. ✨ Module 2: The Nervous System & the Owl Brain We’ll explore why kids (and adults) lose access to skills, how the thinking brain goes offline, and what actually brings it back—together. ✨ Module 3: Regulation Tools for Real Life Practical, doable ways to support regulation in the moment—without needing to be perfect or calm all the time. ✨ Module 4: After the Storm — Repair & Capacity Building How repair, timing, and support build long-term resilience—and why nervous-system-informed parenting does not create incapable adults. Each module will be posted with handouts and reflections, and you’re always welcome to return to them as often as you need. 💛 A gentle reminder as you begin: Go slow. Listen to your body. Pause when something lands .Come back later if that feels right. Your nervous system matters too—and this space is meant to support you, not overwhelm you. I’m so glad you’re here. We’re in this together 🤍

Hey calm-seekers 💛I’m so excited to share what’s on the way for our Calm & Connected Parenting Lab — a brand-new printable Regulation Cheat Sheet that breaks down exactly how to help kids calm their bodies and brains (from toddlers all the way to tweens). Here’s what’s inside:✨ Simple brain science — why a three-year-old’s prefrontal cortex isn’t fully formed (and what that means when they “lose it”)✨ A quick guide to co-regulation — because kids borrow our calm before they can create their own✨ Age-based strategies — toddler | child | tween breakdowns for what actually works✨ Everyday tools — body, breath, connection, and environment supports for real-life moments It’s trauma-informed, neuroscience-backed, and made for real parents — the kind who are healing, learning, and showing up with love even when it’s hard. 🌿 💬 What’s next: Later this week I’ll be dropping a short video lesson walking you through the guide — including how to recognize when your child’s amygdala is in charge, and what to do to bring their (and your) nervous system back online. If you’ve ever thought, “Why won’t they just calm down?” or “What do I do when they’re melting down?” — this is for you. Stay tuned, my friends. You’re building resilient brains — one co-regulated moment at a time. 💪💛

If you’re new here, start with this:“10 Things I Wish I’d Known About Parenting (Before I Learned the Brain Science)” These are the shifts I didn’t learn from books or advice or trial-and-error —I learned them the hard way, after years of dysregulation, frustration, and repeating patterns that weren’t working. This community exists so you don’t have to do it the hard way. Read through the list slowly. Notice which one hits your nervous system the most. That is your starting point. You are not late. You are not broken. You are not behind. You are here — and that is the turning point.

Okay, deep breath… whoop whoop! I’m so excited (and only mildly terrified 😅) to share my very first class: ✨ Building Routines for Safety, Connection & Regulation ✨ This one’s close to my heart — because routines aren’t just about bedtime charts or brushing teeth (though those help!). They’re about creating predictability, safety, and connection — for our kids and for us. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m too tired for another new strategy,” or “our mornings are chaos,” this one’s for you. It’s real, it’s brain-based, and it’s doable — even if you’re running on caffeine and hope. ☕💛 💬 In this video, we talk about: - Why predictability calms the brain 🧠 - How to start small (really small) - What to do when things fall apart (spoiler: it’s not failure, it’s feedback) - And how connection is the secret ingredient to every great routine Go check it out, give it a watch, and tell me your biggest “aha!” moment in the comments. Here’s to calmer mornings, smoother bedtimes, and homes that feel just a little more peaceful. 🌿Because you deserve that. Your kids do, too. 💛 #Parenting #Connection #BrainScience #ThatParentingCoach
