Calling all unicorns who never get frustrated or angry! This episode isn't for you 😉

Ok, let's be real. The true statistic is 100% of parents have those moments where they snap, shout, or shut down... and then feel awful.

You want to stay calm. You want to be patient. But sometimes it just… takes over.

In this episode, we’re talking about anger from a completely new perspective - your nervous system's point of view.

Because underneath the yelling or frustration is something really important: a nervous system doing its best to protect you.

We’ll unpack what’s actually going on when you’re triggered, why logic alone doesn’t help in the heat of the moment, and how to start building emotional safety — not just for your kids, but for you too.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why anger isn’t the enemy, it’s an intelligent body signal

✅ What your nervous system is trying to protect you from

✅ Real tools to regulate (the experts know and use these)

This isn’t about getting it perfect. It’s about getting curious.

Because when you understand your own triggers, you parent from a place of power, not pressure.

This is only for people ready to learn the deep wisdom and understanding of the body, we're not talking quick fixes or mantas like "my child isn't giving me a hard time, they're having one". These are nice but not effective in the heat of the moment.
