    Through Their Lens – How Your Nervous System Shapes Relationships

    Have you ever been blindsided by someone’s reaction and thought, where did that come from? Whether it’s a toddler refusing to put on their shoes, a teen with an unexpected attitude, or even a coworker’s sharp remark, our interactions are shaped by something deeper than we realize—our nervous system state. In this episode of Building Resilience, we explore how our nervous system acts as a filter, shaping the way we see and respond to the world. When we start understanding this, everything shifts. What You’ll Learn in This Episode✅ Why we react the way we do—and why our kids, partners, and coworkers do too ✅ How past experiences shape our nervous system responses ✅ Why some people keep repeating unhealthy relationship patterns ✅ How to identify nervous system states (Team Hyper, Hypo, or Resilient) ✅ Practical strategies to respond with intention rather than react ✅ How regulating your own nervous system can shift the entire dynamic of a relationship If you’ve ever wondered why certain people trigger you or why some relationships feel harder than others, this episode will help you see interactions through a new lens—one that leads to greater understanding, connection, and resilience.

    Emotional Regulation in Neurodivergent Families with guest Emily Hamblin

    Parenting can feel like a rollercoaster, especially when your child struggles with emotional regulation. One moment, everything is fine, and the next, you're navigating a meltdown in the middle of the grocery store. How do you support your child---and yourself---through these intense emotional waves? As a certified teacher with years of experience working with kids all over the globe, Emily Hamblin was sure motherhood would be a breeze...except it wasn't. It took years for Emily to learn how to not only help her 4 kids (including several “neurospicy” ones) find healthy ways to handle their big emotions, but to handle her own neurodivergent brain's intense emotional responses too. Now, Emily hosts the Enlightening Motherhood podcast and runs the Neurodivergent Survival Kit for moms. On this episode of Building Resilience, Emily shares her journey of discovering that both she and her children are neurodivergent and how that realization transformed her parenting. We explore the connection between nervous system regulation and emotional regulation, the extra challenges faced by neurodivergent families, and why traditional parenting advice often falls short.

    The Power of Belief: Understanding Placebo and Nocebo Effects

    Our beliefs shape our reality in more ways than we realize. What if simply believing in a treatment could lead to real, measurable healing? And on the flip side, could negative expectations actually worsen our symptoms? On this episode of Building Resilience, we explore the fascinating world of the placebo and nocebo effects: how our minds influence our bodies in profound ways. We'll dive into a scientific study about  housekeepers,  and the surprising effects of an open-label placebo. Plus, how our daily rituals, environment, and even the language we use can reinforce either healing or harm.  Resources: The Advanced Nervous System Resilience training---dive deep into understanding the nervous system and its role in our lives.My video series, "The 30 Second Burnout Solution"---a lifeline for those grappling with stress and burnout, especially compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress.Connections Membership---join the waitlist!

    Effort vs Surrender

    The balance between effort and surrender can be a tricky one to strike—we often feel the need to fix issues as soon as they come up. But in reality, surrendering to challenging times can actually have the opposite effect. On this episode of Building Resilience, we go over how we can achieve that balance between effort and surrender—where transformation and growth often occur. We’ll talk about the pitfalls of overexertion, the challenges of relinquishing control, and highlighting how balancing "grit and grace" can lead to sustainable success.  Links: Ep.186 - Grit and Grace Resources:   The Advanced Nervous System Resilience training---dive deep into understanding the nervous system and its role in our lives. My video series, "The 30 Second Burnout Solution"---a lifeline for those grappling with stress and burnout, especially compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress.Connections Membership---join the waitlist!
