Host Caulen Foster sits down with nervous system regulation expert, energy healer, and Magnetic Mama Club host Alyssa Brieloff to explore how motherhood can reshape identity, intuition, and emotional capacity. Alyssa shares how an early introduction to Reiki, later experiences in college and New York City, and her own transition into motherhood led her to help women better understand their nervous systems and trust themselves more deeply. She discusses fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses; the pressure to be a “good mom”; guilt, perfectionism, and social media comparison; and why regulation does not mean staying calm all the time. Alyssa also explains matrescence, the importance of support and repair, and how letting go of her pre-motherhood identity helped her find a more authentic sense of purpose. About the Guest Alyssa Brieloff is an energy healer, nervous system regulation practitioner, podcast host, and writer focused on conscious motherhood. She hosts Magnetic Mama Club and writes The Mother Frequency, where she explores matrescence, identity shifts, intuition, conscious parenting, and practical tools mothers can use to support their nervous systems.
