    The Bathroom Floor
    Feb 9 2026

    We were already late. The bowl tipped. Coconut milk—the last of it—spilled all over the floor. And I snapped. This is the story of what happened next—the shame spiral, the bathroom floor, and the moment I heard a knock I wasn’t ready for. Why your blow-ups aren't character flaws — they're biology. Window of tolerance, and what it actually means to notice you're leaving it, and how to start coming back.

    Why I'm Starting This
    Feb 2 2026

    This is the first episode of The Unhurried Mama. I'm Michelle, and I'm launching this podcast on my daughter's 12th birthday because she's the reason I started asking: What does it mean to parent from a nervous system that isn't running? The choice I made that changed everything—saying yes to homeschool—the tornado years that followed, and the question I'm still sitting in: What am I trying to outrun by staying busy? If you've been sprinting through motherhood and don't know how to stop, this is for you. I'm still figuring it out, but I'm doing it out loud. Your body already knows the path. This is the work of coming home to yourself.
