The Nervous System Reset Every Parent Needs Right Now
Description
Do you ever feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted and wonder why? It might be your nervous system trying to tell you something. In this powerful episode, I sit down with nervous system expert and healer Kelly Lubeck to explore how our bodies are wired for safety, and what we can do to support true healing and balance.
Kelly brings decades of experience in coaching, shamanic healing, yoga, and mindfulness, sharing how the nervous system, particularly the sympathetic (fight/flight) and parasympathetic (rest/digest) branches, impacts our breathing, digestion, hormone regulation, and emotional responses.
You’ll hear:
- How COVID has reshaped our collective nervous system health
- Why parents of LGBTQ+ kids often experience heightened activation and how to find calm
- Real-world tools to identify and regulate nervous system responses in the moment
- A powerful self-soothing technique using arm strokes that works for adults and children alike
- The importance of normalizing our reactions to stress and creating space for healing
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of anxiety, overreaction, or burnout or seen it in your kids or partner this conversation will give you tools and hope. Kelly’s compassionate, science-backed approach will help you better understand your body’s messages, reclaim calm, and create space for growth and resilience.
This episode will leave you with:
- A fresh perspective on the mind-body connection
- A sense of empowerment to respond rather than react to life’s stressors
- Simple practices to reconnect with your inner calm
Listen now to reconnect with your nervous system and rediscover peace from the inside out.
