So let's say for example, your mom always yelled at you. So you would have a lot of dysregulation to the auditory part of your brain like that would be blown out. Does that make sense? It would be like turning on a light too bright, staring at it as a child. So you're just like, dude, my eyes are just not right. Now, it doesn't mean it's permanently like that. It just means right now in your current state without addressing whatever is going on with it, you have too much sensitivity to that. That person probably wouldn't do well with music or sounds. Does that make sense? Because (inaudible) through that cortex is considered stressful. The signal's off. Amy Ledin 0:31 Alright, so it's just adding more stress to it. Isaac Ho 0:33 Yeah. So sometimes, like when people are like, well, what do you do for coping mechanisms? My answer to that is based off how your brain is wired in this moment, and then I would switch them. But ideally, I try to get them not dysfunctional. Amy Ledin 0:48 What are you doing to create your dream life or your best self? Why do we see some thrive through challenges while others struggle?

And today, we're going to really dive into navigating your body chaos, just understanding your body's response systems, a lot of us don't realize that the body keeps score. And if you didn't listen to the previous episode, Isaac Ho comes with lots of experience, 20 years of experience as a trainer and a therapist. He started his own journey to repeller his own health. And so it just came from a genuine interest and desire to help himself. He's been on TV networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, he's been everywhere. So I'm really excited to bring part two to you. So here you go. Amy Ledin 2:27 You know, back then, so he was deployed on submarines, then I decided that I wanted to go back to finish my degree. So I had a four-year-old and then I'm basically pregnant. I was like, maybe six months pregnant, going to Valdosta State University, and I'm like, I just have to get my degree and crazy, crazy life. That's when I realized my kids, I gotta be super, super consistent with them sleeping, because otherwise I'm not gonna get any school done. So when I, when Kamele was born, she was sleeping through the night by three months, I had bought a book on how to solve your child's sleep habits. And I'm like, I cannot have another child that and it really came back to. It's your parenting consistency and not learning sure know when to kind of soothe but not associating with food. Because my other child, I just gave him a bottle every time when he woke up in the night, then of course, they just associate, oh, when I wake up and cry, I get a bottle, this is sweet. I'm just going to cry. (inaudible) Isaac Ho 2:33 As an adult, we do the same thing like well actually feel bad for attention and we don't realize we get these depressive streaks because they've earned us attention. And if we were depressed around our parents, they would pay attention to us. Amy Ledin 3:41 Totally. Well, you learn it even with I'm actually that's one of the podcasts is all about emotional. I mean, it's emotionally immature parents. And it was one of the first books that my therapist made me read. And she was like, I listened to it on Audible and the stories they give. Yes, I was thinking of my parents, but I'm like, holy crap. I'm that way too, like I have, you know, and after I read that book, I had my first test of the tension. And I actually even had my daughter on the podcast, we talked about this, like triggers and reactions, because she you know, she's 21 and she's read the Nicole's books and really wants to learn, but it was a day that I asked my daughter to braid my hair, because, you know, I don't know how to French braid it. And she, you know, she was like, 17 and so I'd got up and I'm like, hey, because I know how teenagers are and I'm like, you know, if before you leave, you know, if you have time, would you be able to braid my hair? And she was like, yeah, okay, well then I'm kind of quiet, kind of watching her and I'm seeing the clock like she's getting ready to need to leave. And so she kind of just sat and dilly-dallied with her food and, and so I was getting annoyed, you know? And she then goes, oh, sorry, mom. I'll have to do it after school and like we get in the car to leave for school. Well, now, my seven-year-old self is pissed. Like, and I'm thinking in my head, how you little ungrateful brat like I do everything for you and that would have been like my old response, right? But then her book really talks about, like, unconditional love and how much that affects us. Right? And that you have to show your children that it's not their do, it's their who. So my old self wanted to ice her out, like I seriously would just be silent the whole way to school. And you know, like, be pouty, whatever, right? But instead, I was like, okay, I can't show her that. So I had to fight my like, tantrum self. And I just, like, converse with her. And it was my pouring into her that when she got to school, like, after she got there, she was like, hey, by the way, I'm really sorry that I didn't, you know, braid your hair, I'll do it first thing next time, you know, and that was not me needing to force her by, you know, hey, I do this for you and did it, you know, instead, it was me showing her that unconditional love how it just flipped for her. And that was kind of my first moment of like, oh my gosh, I've been doing parenting wrong. I've been this authoritative, not really talk about a lot of things, but you just do what I say. And then expecting my children to, like, grow up. And I started to see it in them that they had their own emotional immaturity not knowing how to handle like, this is how we resolve things. We don't silent treatment someone because that's all learned, right? You just learn how other people have done that. Amy Ledin 6:20 I met a really cool couple, like in a mastermind we were in, super, super successful and they were talking about right when they got married, that they had their first fight. And she came from a very healthy family that had conversations and he obviously didn't, so they get in their first fight, and he literally stomps into the other room an
