The Calm Mom – Burnout, Anxiety, Nervous System, Mindset, Self-Care, Parenting, Work-Life Balance

You know that sinking feeling when you’re about to start something important—but instead, you scroll, organize a drawer, or suddenly need to deep-clean your entire kitchen?

Or when you say yes to something you definitely don’t want to do, just to avoid disappointing someone?

Or when you rewrite an email seven times before sending it, making sure there’s no room for anyone to judge you?

But here’s the truth: These aren’t personality traits. They’re actually stress responses.

Perfectionism, people-pleasing, and procrastination aren’t random habits—they’re deeply wired patterns your nervous system created to keep you safe. 

At some point, your brain learned that being perfect, avoiding failure, or making everyone happy helped you avoid rejection, criticism, or disappointment. 

And now? These patterns are running on autopilot.

But here’s the good news: You can rewire them.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:

•  Why these patterns feel impossible to shake (spoiler: it’s not a willpower issue)
•  How your nervous system keeps you stuck in stress loops—and what to do about it
•  The first steps to rewiring these patterns so you can move through life with more ease, confidence, and peace

Because you’re not stuck this way. 

And the sooner you stop seeing these patterns as your personality and start seeing them as something you can rewire, the sooner you’ll finally feel free.

Let’s get into it. 🎧👇

Ever catch yourself reacting to your kids in a way that shocks you? 

Maybe you hear your own mother’s voice coming out of your mouth, or you feel like you’re constantly walking the tightrope between patience and losing it.

You’re not crazy. You’re not failing. And you’re definitely not alone.

The truth is, unresolved experiences from your past don’t just disappear—they live in your body, shaping the way you respond to stress, relationships, and, yes, parenting. 

And until you recognize what’s happening under the surface, you’ll keep repeating the same patterns, no matter how much you “know better.”

That’s why I’m sitting down with Dr. Chinwé Williams, a trauma therapist, EMDR specialist, and bestselling author, to unpack how past experiences influence our nervous system, emotions, and the way we show up as parents.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying invisible weight, or you find yourself snapping, shutting down, or over-controlling (even when you don’t want to), this conversation is going to be a game-changer

We unpack what trauma really is, how it manifests in our bodies, and how it influences the way we show up as mothers, partners, and professionals. 

3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1. What Trauma Really Is – It’s not just the “big” stuff. Chronic stress, emotional neglect, or even parents’ high expectations can shape your nervous system.
2. How Your Past Shows Up in Parenting – Unresolved trauma can resurface in emotional triggers, parenting patterns, and unexpected reactions to your child’s behavior.
3. Ways to Regulate Your Nervous System – Learn simple, effective strategies to calm your body and model emotional resilience for your children.

You can break the cycle. You can rewrite the script. And it starts here.

Hit play, and let’s talk about it. 🎧💛

Do you ever feel like you’re constantly busy but never truly productive? 

Your to-do list is endless, you’re always running from one task to the next, and yet, at the end of the day, it feels like you haven’t really moved the needle on what actually matters. 

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down why busyness isn’t the same as productivity—and why understanding this is crucial to creating a stress-free, fulfilling life. 

The truth is, constantly being in “go mode” keeps your nervous system stuck in a state of reactivity, making it harder to focus, prioritize, and accomplish meaningful work. 

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing more but achieving less, it’s time to shift from just checking boxes to true, intentional productivity.

Listen in to learn:

• Why stress hijacks your brain and keeps you trapped in the cycle of busyness
• The difference between reactive busyness and true, fulfilling productivity
• How regulating your nervous system can help you work smarter—not harder—so you can finally feel calm, focused, and in control of your time.

For us high-achievers, we often think of resilience as pushing through, powering on, and handling it all. 

But what if true resilience isn’t about white-knuckling your way through hardship—but about allowing yourself to soften, heal, and bounce forward instead of just back?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Neeta Bhushan, author of That Sucked, Now What?, to talk about what it really takes to move through life’s hardest moments. 

Dr. Neeta’s story is one of profound loss—losing her mother, father, and brother before she turned 19—and the journey she took to rebuild herself while navigating perfectionism, high-achiever pressure, and cultural expectations.

But this isn’t just about survival. It’s about rewriting the way we think about resilience, breaking generational cycles, and learning how to meet life’s challenges without burning ourselves out in the process. 

We talk about redefining strength, breaking generational patterns, and the tension between raising resilient kids while also protecting them from pain.

🔥 Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1. The Truth About Resilience—Why it’s not about toughening up, but about allowing yourself to feel, soften, and receive support.
2. The Bounce Factor—The four key factors that determine how well you recover from hardship (and how to build more resilience starting today).
3. Parenting & Resilience—How to foster grit and independence in your kids without tough love or suppressing their emotions.

If you’ve been navigating grief, burnout, or just trying to figure out how to keep going when life feels heavy—this episode is for you.

Ever snap at your kids or feel your heart race the second your boss says, “We need to talk,” even though you logically know it’s not a life-or-death situation?

Does it feel like you’ve spent hours in talk therapy, dissecting your thoughts and revisiting the past, but still feel stuck in anxiety or burnout? You’re not alone. 

No shade on talk therapy—it can be life-changing for many.

But if you’ve been hashing out your past for awhile now and still can’t shake that anxious, burned-out feeling, there’s a good chance you’re overlooking the root of the problem because trauma, stress, and dysregulation aren’t just stored in your mind—they live in your nervous system.

In this episode, we’re unpacking 3 main reasons why traditional talk therapy might not be working for you and exploring how a body-based approach can help you finally move forward.

Think of this as your permission slip to explore body-based healing that actually helps you feel better, not just understand why you’re struggling.

Three things you’ll learn in this episode:

1. Why your trauma isn’t all in your head—it’s literally stored in your nervous system, and words alone won’t solve that.
2. How talking about painful events can be re-triggering if you’re not simultaneously creating a felt sense of safety.
3. What “understanding” can’t fix—logic doesn’t calm a nervous system, so you can’t outthink anxiety or burnout.

If talk therapy is working for you, amazing—keep going. 

But if it’s not, it’s time to step off that hamster wheel of frustration. 

You’re not broken; you just need a different approach that speaks the body’s language. 

Tune in to learn practical, nervous system–focused tools that go beyond just talking about the problem, so you can finally start feeling real change in your day-to-day life.

Exhaustion, overwhelm, and that constant edge? They all trace back to one key factor.

Here’s the thing: burnout recovery isn’t about bubble baths, wine nights, or slapping a cute affirmation on your vision board.

Work-life balance: is it an actual thing, or just a myth designed to make us feel like we’re failing at everything? Spoiler alert: it’s probably the latter.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jody Carrington—psychologist, speaker, author, and the human equivalent of a warm, no-BS pep talk. Dr. Jody brings two decades of experience working with kids, families, and communities, and she’s here to unpack the real reason we’re all feeling stretched too thin: we’re disconnected.  

Dr. Jody’s philosophy is simple but powerful: when we truly *see* and acknowledge each other, everything shifts. Whether it’s parenting struggles, work stress, or that recurring argument about who forgot to defrost the turkey, reconnection is the key to building resilience, easing burnout, and finding a little more joy in the chaos.  

Here’s what we cover:  

• Why work-life balance is a lie and what we actually need to thrive.  
• How to regulate your emotions so you can respond instead of snapping at your partner (or your kids).  
• Practical parenting tips to strengthen your connection with your little humans.  

This isn’t another episode about doing *more*. It’s about meaningful connection—the kind that actually makes life feel better.

Are you out of touch with your inner child?

Think about a moment when you’ve seen your kids light up over the smallest thing—a rainbow, a funny face, a new idea—and you realize it’s been way too long since you felt that kind of awe & wonder. 

When we’re carrying unhealed trauma, it’s like a filter over our life that blocks us from experiencing that natural, joyful curiosity we once had.

In this episode, I’m talking with Jeannine Rashidi, an expert in trauma healing and a doctor of Ayurveda. Jeannine has spent over 20 years guiding others through deep inner work to reconnect with their inner child, heal generational trauma, and bring the body, mind, and heart back into harmony after the impacts of trauma.

Here’s what we dive into:

• How to unlock abundance on the other side of trauma
• Practical steps to transform painful experiences into a source of inner strength
• Why our subconscious drives us toward the familiar (even when it’s not what’s best for us) and how healing the past can shift these patterns for good

In this episode, we’re diving into why, despite doing "all the things," anxiety will persist until we address the root cause—your nervous system’s dysregulation. It’s not just about mindset shifts or deep breathing; it's about understanding that the body keeps the score. Real, lasting healing starts when we work with our body, not just our mind.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why anxiety stems from unresolved alarm stored in your body, not just your thoughts.
• What trauma really means—and why it’s not just about big, life-altering events.
• How inner child work can be a powerful tool for healing anxiety by addressing emotional wounds from your past.

Do you ever feel like you’re running on autopilot, stuck in a cycle of stress, overwhelm, and burnout? 

Your nervous system is the control center for everything you experience in your body—whether you feel calm or on edge, how you react to stress, and even how you connect with others. 

But here’s the catch: your nervous system doesn’t just control how you feel, think, and act; it’s also influenced by your daily habits and routines.  Some of your habits might be great for your nervous system and others, not so much.

In today’s episode, we’ll dive into the everyday habits that either soothe or stress your nervous system. You’ll learn how even small, unconscious actions can push you into a state of chronic dysregulation and what you can do to reset.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How your nervous system controls your reactions to stress, calm, and connection.
• 5 sneaky habits might be dysregulating your system and causing you chronic stress
• Actionable tips to shift your habits and help your nervous system find balance

Think about it: how much conflicting advice have you heard when it comes to health and diet?

Focus on macros. Intermittent fasting. East 6 small meals a day. Today it’s healthy; tomorrow it’s not. With all the health info out there, it can be confusing and overwhelming to heal our metabolism and balance our hormones.

I’m joined today by Ashley Fillmore of the Metabolic Fix Method. She works with women to help them break free from restrictive and ineffective diets by focusing on addressing hormonal imbalances affecting their metabolism.

1. How to build a healthy diet to fit your goals without following a diet plan
2. Breaking free from the all-or-nothing mindset
3. How fixing underlying hormone imbalances may be the missing piece to enjoying easy and lasting results

Over the summer, we’re bringing back some of your favorite episodes!  These are the top downloaded episodes you couldn’t get enough of.

Today’s [rewind] is a throwback to episode 185 helping you identify 3 reasons why you might have high-functioning anxiety.

The thing with high-functioning anxiety is that it’s not always easy to detect.  We seem to be functioning well in our day-to-day lives, but under the surface we feel edgy, stressed, and overwhelmed. 

It’s that sense that there’s not enough time and we’re running behind. We feel tired, but wired.  Our body is telling us to slow down, but our brain is convincing us we can push harder.  I’ve been there, and I know how exhausting it is to live with anxiety.

In today’s episode, we explore 3 of the most common roots of high-functioning anxiety, and I coach you through ways you can start the healing process and help your body move out of an anxious state and return to regulation.

If you feel like you’ve tried everything - mindset work, medication, meditation - but nothing has really gotten to the root of your anxiety, you're probably right. 

So many of the remedies for anxiety we see today are band-aids that might help treat some of the symptoms of anxiety, but don’t address the root cause of why you’re feeling anxious. 

Tune in to today’s episode to learn the #1 thing you need to know and understand in order to truly overcome your anxiety and find an effective path to healing.

What is your first reaction when you think about money?

If anxiety or shame arises when it comes to managing your cash, you’re not alone (wait ‘til you hear about my panic-attack moment the first time I met with a new financial advisor).

Or maybe you feel under-educated or in over your head when it comes to making important financial decisions. 

My guest today is Meghan Dwyer, a Certified Financial Planner and host of the ‘Money Isn’t Scary’ podcast where she helps women take an active role in their money management. 

Society has fed us the narrative that women aren’t competent with money and perpetuates that claim by making a joke out of it on social media (can we stop with the IG Reels about women hiding Amazon boxes from their husbands?).

Meghan aims to empower women to make money decisions out of a sense of abundance and confidence, rather than scarcity and fear. 

3 things you’ll learn in this episode:

1. How societal messages disempower women to take a front seat when it comes to their finances.
2. The biggest areas where women play small with their money (knowledge, earning, spending, negotiation)
3. Why you feel like you can’t trust yourself with money and what to do about it

Today’s [rewind] is a throwback to episode 176 helping you identify 5 signs of parental burnout and how to heal and recover your energy.

Being a mom is hard. Can we just say that without being chastised for complaining? 

Raising kids, managing a household, pursuing work-life balance – it’s a lot.  So if it feels like a lot - it’s not that you’re not cut out for this - it’s just a lot.

We juggle busy schedules, often neglect our needs, and don’t have the tools to regulate our nervous system.  So it’s no wonder that more moms are experiencing burnout than ever.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn 5 signs of mom burnout and a simple approach to start the healing journey.  You don’t have to overhaul your life all at once, but there are effective changes you can make today that'll make a difference in how you feel.

Have you ever wondered if you’re actually chill or if you’re just really good at suppressing your emotions?

Before doing this work, I never thought of myself as an “emotional” person — I didn’t cry at movies, I didn’t lose my temper —but I was completely unaware of the emotional storm brewing beneath my cool exterior.

We’ve all been conditioned with implicit messages that certain emotions are unacceptable or weak (especially us women).  As a result, we can start to unconsciously suppress our own emotions.

The thing is, no matter who you are, patterns of emotional suppression will have a huge impact on your overall well-being (mental + physical).

Listen in to learn:

• The impact of bottling up emotions on your overall well-being
• Three red flags that indicate you might be suppressing your emotions
• How to shift from emotional suppression to healthy emotional management

Over the summer, we’re going to bring back some of your past favorites as part of a Friday [rewind].  These are the top downloaded episodes that you all couldn’t get enough of! 

Today’s [rewind] is a throwback to episode 75  all about how to create real and lasting change.

In order to actually create new thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and emotions, we must access our somatic intelligence.  Somatic = relating to the body.

It’s one thing to conceptually understand how you want to show up in your life, but it’s a whole other ballgame to actually do it in light of the patterning of your nervous system.

Change and growth that’s focused only on the mind, i.e., cognitive learning, will only get you so far because you’re leaving out the rest of your body from the neck down.

Listen to this episode to learn about training our body to show up more powerfully for life – to have more capacity to hold all that life continues to throw at us.

Think back to the last time you felt triggered - whether it was an eye roll from your kiddo, a rude comment from a neighbor, or being stuck in rush-hour traffic - being triggered activates our nervous system’s fight, flight, or freeze responses. 

But here’s the catch, when we’re triggered, we can’t just tell ourselves to calm down. We have to communicate safety in a way our nervous system understands.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn effective body-based tools to help communicate safety to your nervous system and bring yourself back into a state of balance. 

Learn how these practices can help discharge stress hormones, enhance sensory awareness, and promote emotional regulation.

Toxic parenting is so much more than a buzzphrase. It’s real, emotional trauma that we can carry into adulthood. 

As adults, setting boundaries with our childhood caregivers and “reparenting” ourselves is often the key to standing in the gap as a cycle breaker and raising our children differently than how we were raised.

In today’s episode, Cari Fund, a passionate women’s advocate and author, joins me to talk about her journey of navigating estrangement from her mother, learning how to reparent herself, and teaching us how to change the narrative and environment in our homes.

3 things you’ll learn:

1. How to break the cycle of toxic parenting
2. Practical ideas to start reparenting yourself
3. How to create a legacy of love and empowerment for your children

Have you ever been angry and someone told you to “just calm down”?

Or have you ever experienced anxiety and tried to calm your body with a moment of stillness, but it just seemed to make you feel worse?

Oftentimes, when we’re in our sympathetic nervous system feeling anxious or angry, trying to calm down by taking deep breaths or meditating can be really uncomfortable.

It’s not what our body needs at the moment. 

In today’s episode, you’ll learn what your nervous system actually needs to process and release the stress, anxiety, and anger of fight-or-flight.

These body-based exercises will help you close the stress cycle and naturally come back to calmness in an unforced way.
